SCSI CD-ROM for CPS3 Setup

[davewellington]

Hey guys
Over the last few weeks i've been putting together a CPS3 setup, grabbed a motherboard from a local operator, CD-ROM from local trade site, SCSI ribbon cable from a computer shop and molex to molex cable from work. The last piece, my 2nd Impact cartridge finally arrived today. Hurray!

When I boot up with a burned disc, I get a CD-ROM error. I figure the CD-ROM isn't setup correctly. Apparently I need a terminator? I've never really worked with SCSI before, can anyone give me a point in the right direction? Here's a picture of the back of the CD-ROM drive (minus ribbon and molex cables).



Looking up SCSI terminators in google doesn't bring up anything that appears very similar to the bottom row. Helpppppp

I am unsure what that row of pins is for, any terminator I have ever seen connects directly to the bus.

Example:

The Panasonic drives that come with the CPS3 kits from the factory have a jumper marked "terminator". I've also used other drives, such as Pioneer, which also had the terminator jumper, and they've worked fine.

I guess you could try jumping the first two pairs there (marked for factory use) in turn to see if one of those acts as a terminator jumper.

What model is the drive?

[davewellington]

It's a Sanyo CRD-254V. I'm guessing it's going to need a cable terminator like what you suggested earlier ;_;

I've got a Yamaha SCSI CD-RW if you need to borrow it for testing. Heavy little ****, though.

SCSI terminator arrived and... no change. Now to translate that message...

[davewellington]

CD-ROM ドライブガ?しく??されていません

Any help finishing this? I can't seem to find the remaining characters, I'm guessing the majority of them are kanji.

Do you know if the drive works properly ?

[davewellington]

It was sold as working, I can only assume as I don't have a SCSI setup. Depending on what the error message says, I may be looking into getting another one

[Hewitson]

The only suggestion I would have is to try the other ID's. If that doesn't work I'd say the drive is either incompatible for some reason or knackered.

[davewellington]

haven't quite checked every combination yet but i'll give it a looking over later. There's also the possibility i've burned the CD wrong (several times in a row), we'll see.

Still looking for help with the translation if anyone can finish it off.

Well I can tell you that the text is...

CD-ROMドライブが正しく接続されていません。
電源を切ってやり直して下さい。

..which says, "The CD-ROM drive is not properly connected. Please turn off the power."

The issue is almost certainly with your drive.

Thanks!

Here's what I gathered for my wiki on CPS-III, hope it helps:

SCSI CD-Rom jumper configuration

Capcom used Panasonic CR-504 CD-Rom units, but these can be replaced by any SCSI CD-ROM drive, you just need to set the jumpers to the following configuration:
Setting Value
SCSI ID: 1
Parity: On
Terminator: On
Power: On
