Title: Mechware
Post by: k4lmp on May 07, 2012, 02:36:28 PM
I purchased 2 of the CF readers for my A2000 from Mech, as well as a couple of SCSI contoller chips for my A2091.  He ships super fast, and is very helpful.  I recommend him highly.  A great vendor.

Yep, I've bought from him myself.  He is excellent and supports all of his products with great after-sales help.

+1 for the super fast.. I just had a email tennis conversation with him today regarding a part he doesn't list on his website.. He clearly went out of this way to accommodate me! Extremely pleasing and amazing in this day and age!!  A+++ applause all around! We should support more sellers like this! :)

Haven't bought anything from him yet, but he has been a great resource for repairing Amiga 3000's.

He is the man.  Great products, great service, and great prices.  Would not hesitate buying anything from him.

I just noticed he had the 08 version of the SCSI controller for the 2091. It's even at a very fair price.
Everyone with a 2091 should grab one of these. Many of your SCSI problems will vanish.

Bought two of them from him :)

Edit:  I also just bought 4 more of the SCSI card readers, as I have a lot of old servers that still use SCSI.

Mechy's great.   I bought the 2 GB flash drive from him, and several SCSI cables.  Plus he helped me get my CD-ROM up and going on my 2500!!   Awesome guy.

It looks like Mechware is "out of stock" on these readers.  Hope they get some more soon.  I need another one.

I saw that.  I think he still has some of them available in the kits with the pcmcia adapter, though.

Mechware was kind enough to test the zip rams I acquired for my Amiga 3000. Even tho I did not purchase them from him.

are you still around, I have one of your readers but it doesn't seem to want to install on my scsi buss. My hardrive is #2 my CDRom is #6 and the card reader is #1 the only termination is on the CDrom, when I install the memory card reader I get the Amiga Floppy animation on bootup, after I remove itthe Amiga boots fine

thanks

I would go back and triple-check all the jumpers and termination.  Remove all devices and re-add them one by one.  Also, what controller do you have and is it on the latest firmware?  Some work better than others, especially with LUN's.  Also, what model is your card reader?

Which amiga,kickstart and os are you using?
Which scsi card reader do you have?
What cards are you trying to use with the card reader?
What scsi controller are you using?
make sure the cdrom is last on the cable and the only drive terminated. The pcd card readers were sent out with the term jumper on, so double check it.
