Ultra Computers & Internet - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Did you ever used any tool of ultra wide SCSI? I want to know some distinct quality of that? My desktop is not responding meanwhile.
Larry the Computer Guy, posted up there ^^^^ instead of here.
- Larry Ng Jan 19, 2021NO PC told no maker no model
no UW SCSI card told, at all. (Adaptec?)_
SCSI can run HDD, or tape and many things
what does yours run? IDK.
we run ultra for years, back when.
why are you doing old UW SCSI.?
tell what tool means,. ive no idea at all
a metal tool , software what?
tell what the tool does? and we now can communicate.
only very very old full blown workstations
had a UW SCsi HDD, non told yet.
what does not responding mean./
1: PC dead silent..
2: all fans dead.
3: power on LED dead or acts odd now.?
4; BIOS screens dead./ all ? this is goal #1

pure raw wild guess.
the PC is 20 year old
the HDD died 15 years ago
and found this rig for $1 at a garage sale
DOA.
Ultra-320 SCSI ? from year 2003?
remove it and put in SSD 2.5" solid state drive (SATA) and boot from that.
end story, join the modern world?
SCSI is now dead, tech. as in fully retired.
we use SAS or fast SSD. now.

if the HDD is dead say so.
post symptoms and ask for help,ok?
that is why this forum exists to diagnose problems.
test #1 on PC that seems to have power and does with BIOS screens working
the HDD must be heard to spin. (and all fans)
ask how. (i own a 5$ stethoscope a TOOL)
no spin ,no joy, possible.
it has motor inside, the hdd controller
sends a command to the hDD to spin up
turned on, in magical SCSI land
we can even sequence say 5 HDD drives to spin up 1 at a time to not overload the PSu.
that is all controlled via the SCSI card
own Bios screens. prompted at power on in fact.
the SCSI card has its own menus inside its own ROM.firmware. we go there and check the drive out. (might show HDD dead in fact)
NO PC told no scsi card told.
here is mine spinning up now.https://pcdied.com/HDD-SDD/spoolupjet.mp...
if HDD click like mad , the HDD is bad.
like this.

post of photo or left side inside this PC.
lid off PC pulled off. (then add a photo)
then we can talk turkey. (to brass tacks)

the reason nobody talks SCSI now is that it is now retired. (eol)
yes some very very old PCs workstations had this, OOBE day1. sure. have one in my attic full of thick dust. old and slow.
and for sure servers. old.
I need the drivers to connect my mobicel ultra to my laptop to transfer data
I typically advise that drivers be downloaded from the manufacturer's website. The help desk may be able to advise you as to a download link. help centre on 011 541 3300 or email
[email protected]
This is a company based in South Africa.
Although other websites may offer drivers, I cannot assure you such would work nor assure you that such downloads would be safe. I would certainly make a system restore point prior to downloading or installing any such drivers in any case.
