Controller in a no compaq

Ayman Altounji — Sat, 24 Feb 2001 00:00:00 GMT

I have a smart array 3200 controller with a compaq 10rpm ultra wide
scsi 3 hard disk. I would like to connect them in a clone pc, is it
possible?
I have just tried but unsucessfully. I have bought an SCA 80 to SCSI
68 pin connector and i connect the SA-3200 with the hard disk. At boot
i see the controller testing and then it give me the message no
"logical disk detected".
Post error message 1785.
If i run the array compaq utility i receive
the message no controller present.
Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance

Regards

Gianpaolo

The Array Controller is not supported in the PC ....

Don't know about the 3200... I have put a Smart 2/P - Smart 2/D in a 'clone' PC and had it work fine. But the 3200 is probably 64 bit PCI (maybe only 33MHz though), so probably wouldn't do much in a "normal" system.
