When Bob asked his question about the Sigma last week,
I responded that this controller would support up to
4 drives. Then I realized that I had never got around
to trying that many. Tonight, I pulled out a 34
pin cable with 4 drive connectors that I had ordered
from a cable place on the net about a year ago but
had never tested. Now I find I am only successful
in getting two drives working. As soon as I attach
the 34-pin cable to a 3rd drive, when I try to fire
up Wombat, it says "Unable to initialize controller.
No WOMBAT software found." Could this be due to
a flaky cable? I've got only 1 drive terminated,
all on different unit numbers, and the terminated
drive is at the end of the chain. Is there something
else I could be missing?
Any help appreciated,
Doug
