Amiga 3000 SCSI Issue?

[madgrizzle]

I got an A3000 working again but I've got a number of issues.

1.  It has KS 2.0, so I've ordered 3.1.
2.  The computer had two SCSI drives, but would not boot (beyond a light gray/white screen) if the second drive had power.  I moved the terminators off the second drive onto the first drive and removed the second drive entirely.  The computer does not boot to the hard drive, but will boot to floppy now.
3.  If I boot to workbench 1.3, I can't load HDToolBox because it cannot find asl.library.  If I boot to workbench 3.9, I get disk errors when it tries to, I think, read asl.library (after hitting cancel after the disk error, the computer says that it cannot find asl.library).


So, I'm trying to figure out if:
1) does WB1.3 not contain asl.library?
2) Is wb3.9 so not compatible with KS2.0 that it would cause a read issue looking for asl.libary?  Both the OS3.9 boot disk and the install disk give me same issue, except the track number message is different.
3) Is it just that the the old floppy drive has a problem?

3.9 REQUIRES a 3.1 rom..

3.9 REQUIRES a 3.1 rom..

That has been ordered.. just intrigued by the fact that it boots with 2.0 rom.

well it "boots" with 1.3 aswell
but would not work

I guess what I'm getting at is if I install KS3.9, will I still get a drive error when i try to load WB3.1 or do I likely have a drive problem?  I can pull the floppy out of my Amiga 2000 I guess to test.

Also, I have a gotek that I've never really used.  When I install it in place of the A3000 floppy, the scroll bar to select an image keeps going up (like a stuck up arrow).  I thought I had a CIA problem, but I don't have that issue when I boot to floppy.

I guess what I'm getting at is if I install KS3.9

There is no Kickstart 3.9, it's a software-only update with a few "tricks" to update the code in the ROM. It requires a 3.1 ROM. The only Kickstart 3.9 ROM's floating around are custom ones that people have made for themselves.

Grr..got them reversed.. I mean KS3.1 and OS3.9.. So let me try this again...

If I install KS3.1, will I still get a drive error when i try to load WB3.9 or do I likely have a drive problem?

edit: nm, definitely a drive issue.  the A2000 floppy drive works fine with the 3000.
