Mediator pci.library 11.0

[paul1981]

I would not want to run any software from Elbox, they are infamous for including malware (eg. destruction of RDBs).

Couldn't be happier with my FastATA, had it at least 10 years, and my RDB has never been trashed. The Elbox driver is rock-solid, never an issue!

ok found and isntalled Adaptec scsi card and drive in my 1200T but now my Spider II USB stopped working and Hd Toolbox not seeing new scsi drive?

tired running Mediator setup again with no luck & the scsi card seems to be working as there's a LED on and the SCSI drive is spinning

ok problem solved with Mediator not finding my Spider 2.0 as it got loose when installing the scsi controller, quick reset and now it's workign fine again :-)

problem I'm having with HDToolBox is it's just not seeing the aic78xx.device??/..it's installed in Devs but for some reason it's not picking it up?? is there somewhere else it's supposed to be???

also was trying to find my scsi.device and I can't find it at all....no liquor tonight so double strange:hammer:

UPDATE:

it's a corrupt device file from aminet. tried downloading twice and still same issue...can someone with a good file send it to me please

One interesting thing is that with the previous library a Matrox G450 PCI would show up, but only the Hint PCI bridge that it uses.

Thinking that this new library might be able to see through the bridge, I tried it and it causes the machine to reboot before it gets to Workbench.

Removing the card or going back to the old library allows me to get to Workbench.

Not that there is a driver for it, but it was an interesting result that might happen with some other cards.

anyone with a working aic78xx.device file please PM me so I can close up my A1200T and start working on my open A4000D

Here are two I've had for quite some time. I'm not sure where they came from, but the seem to be different sizes.

One is a bare device file: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=10026753365811088300

One is an lha file: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=05005412418947535040

I don't have a card to test with, so I don't know if they work.

I've never used that hosting service before either, but it looks pretty safe, if temporary.

@ Heiroglyph


thanks so much! will test out tonight opnce I'm back in my Amiga World:)

Update:
ok back home and good news the drive is now foudn by HDTools ! I was able to install and partition drive but after reboot I don't see new drives on WB? Typically the new drives show up on WB but then have to be formated.

Use the Format-Tool ! you can find it in the SYSTEM Drawer AFAIK maybe its in tools or utilities....

@acill

so what speed do you really get out of it? because i find it hard to believe, it reaches almost 40mb/s..

Just got mine configured today and SysInfo is showing 2.2MB/s which is quicker than my IDE drive in my 1200T.  Transferring a bunch of large files now and it's quick enough for me so I'm happy

[Heiroglyph]

If it's written correctly, I bet you could get 40MBps between two scsi drives on the same card.

Going back through the system will be incredibly show in comparison though.
