Hi,

I've just managed to get hold of a couple of drives from some old Sun 386i
machines. (I think they are 'storage technologies').

I've bought a ST02 (budget was very restricted) to run them.

I've got a couple of questions....

1. The drives came without the terminating resistors (the 386i's do it
   externally). What value does these need to be as I'll have to go out
   and buy some?

2. Does anyone know what the jumper configurations are....

              +------------------+

    I'm guessing that the four vertical jumpers are: parity, id bits 1,2,4?

    Does anyone know for certain?

I know this is all a bit vague but any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks,

Lee.
