Matt thanks for the tip.
I had no joy with the Z3. The A3000 does not have Buster 9. I think its 7. Z3 with the drive attached led to a black screen. I then dug out an old GVP II HC+8 that was in my Amiga 2000 (also not working
)
Fitted it in A3000. Set it up using FAASTPREP and all is good. A3000D is happily booting off the HD on the GVP card. External CD Rom is also working via the GVP card.
I now have a funny issue with the expansion cards. The PicassoII wont work in the lowest Zorro slot. It used to. I can get it working if I put it in any other slot though. The set up I have now is as follows:
GVP HC in the lowest Zorro slot. SCSI drive connected to it. Card has 8 MB Ram. CDRom plugged into GVP card.
Next Slot up Empty
Picasso II in the next slot
Z3 in the top slot. SCSI doesn't work (cause of the Buster being 7 not 9) bit it has got a decent amount of RAM on it which does work.
I have probs installing OS3.9 - resource.library missing. Looks like install from OS3.9 CD isnt working correctly. It might be because of a 68040 library issue. I had this and the 68060 library for the CSMKII. Have read this can cause probs with resource.library. Now trying a clean install.
Weed!
