Meridian Mail card option:
Disk drive configuration

The following is a list of NT supported drives for the Meridian Mail card option, and the drive's configuration instructions.

If the drive you're installing is not supported, refer to the disk drive's manual for the location of the terminator plugs and the jumper configurations. For a disk drive to function correctly with the Meridian Mail card option, it must have no terminators, its SCSI address must be set to zero, its parity must be enabled, and its motor must be set to start up when the power is turned on.
