Ok, I went back to the drawing board. I removed the board out of my Amiga 4000/060 and installed it in my 4000/040. I booted off the original disk and was able to turn the controller back on. It must have been something in the 060 causing problems? Anyway, I connected my SCSI Zip drive to it and it sees it just fine. However, it can handle reboots no problem but when I power down and then back up, it gives me an error that it cannot find the softscsi.device. I open oktagon prefs and all options are ghosted. I then reboot off the floppy again and I am good until a cold restart.
When I checked the box to enable the controller, I clicked "save". I even looked in the pull down menus but nothing. The oktagon icon is in the expansion drawer and there isn't anything special in the startup-sequence of the floppy other than "binddrivers". Do I have to have a HD attached to make it work on a cold boot? I am using a 40GB IDE HD in the 4000.
