I dont have any old ide 40 hard drives kicking around so that would be out of the question. and I would rather us something that would't generate much heat.

Any ideas? links?
thanks

The card already includes a 128MB DOM with the purchase.

Quote:
"We have licensed the OS versions 1.3, 2.1 and 3.1 from Hyperion, and  include them on a 128MByte-DOM which is included in the price."

true.. but I want BIGGER  

[lost_loven]

I think my DOM is a dud. I tried 4 HD's and 3 different cables and no boot. Even with scsi drive installed and not installed.. disconnected ext scsi cd rom.. pulled zorror ram and no go. ugh.. tried 3 different slots.. ugh.  early start up see's card. sysinfo sees card.. show config shows card.. maybe try download buddha install disk and install it on my 3.9 set up ...

never surrender!!!!!

[lost_loven]

Update. uninstalled xsurf also.. no go.. Then put all cards in and booted system (with scsi setup) with only a 1 gig ide drive attached this time and in hdtoolbox  there was a 2ndscsi.device.. well low and behold there it was.
Still no signs of the DOM. Be nice to have some printed docs or a trouble shooting on a web site.
So what now to get a larger drive above 4 gig to be recognized, or get the DOM working. Isn't it suppost to auto boot the DOM (and tried with out scsi drive attached) to setup the drives?

edit: yes jumper is set for DOM

Help

[lost_loven]

well what the heck.. wonder if we can get a list of drives that does work!Out of 6 drives only one works and its a old 1 gig.  I have a few sata drives to test once my ide to sata adapter comes in.. DANG!!!!! Anyone try putting the DOM on the first port and see if the thing boots?

I had big plans for this thing. JENS FIX THIS!!!!!

[lost_loven]

Well here what works right now. Still no DOM.
Hopefully I can get something newer, bigger and faster soon on the go that works.  A1k has some good reading there on this.
Scsi sd card is faster according to sysinfo.

Feeling burnt on this.....

[lost_loven]

What I don't get is, why didn't the DOM just boot (to at least one of the included OS's)? Or, are you supposed to install one of the included OS's to the DOM from the DOM (based on what version of KS Rom you have? Or, is the included DOM not intended to be bootable? I don't have one of these new iComp products with the included OS scheme.

@lost_loven

Don't ya just love using a HDD the size of a blimp on a new micro-sized product? It took me an hour to dig up a 5.25" IDE HDD from my rubble box to try out on the Zorro2 to IDE card! :roflmao: And it STILL didn't work! HA!

I assumed (I guess I shouldn't) that the DOM auto boots on the card, you use its installer for the workbench of choice (mine would be 3.1) and once in stalled remove the jumper and the DOM and away you go!

I wish I could even get that far but booting into my 3.9 install and using hdtoolbox there to see the drives (which I went into my COLD storage and rummaged and dug out and defrosted just to see and make sure the card part of it at least works!

I am going out tomorrow and see if I can get a ide2sata adapter (instead of waiting for fleabay) and see at least if I can get my 2.5 inch 500 gig sata drive working.

Feeling very disappointed!

[lost_loven]

I hear ya.. The mess!

Found another drive today. (out stock at local store for adaptor).. It is 160 gig drive but 127 is seen. Really would like that DOM to work..  At ak1 site looks like Jens found a fix. So guess we wait till something (page 22 I believe)  is official...

And a 32 gig Sandisk microSD card today just in case all works out

If all does work out I will put the sd2scsi card in the external case with the scsi cdrom and leave all Ide in the A3000. Then upgrade that power supply in that old girl..

[lost_loven]

Yup still waiting....
Next week local store might get in sata adapters so might pick one up then. $30cdn vs $4 flea bay lol oh well .. Impatience rulez!

YOU GOT RIPPED OFF??? DANG!! Guess I can expect that also then!
Guess maybe I should order another from another supplier just in case.

[lost_loven]

awh ok @Gizmo350   ... so I hope it works then the Cf adapter works..

As for the sata adapter understand I bought it in hopes that it would work.

in the past I bought a cheapo scsi 2 to wide adapter and it worked after some mucking around so I thought I would take the same chance.

[lost_loven]

I looked at one today as a matter of fact for the direct 40 pin connector adapters and read some reviews that they are to lose to just sit on a board. (here is link look at review) so that kindda put me off..

had it in my hand in said nah! I rather something i can mount.. dont mind cables.

[lost_loven]

@lost_loven - Did you ever get the original DOM to boot?

Nope.. But got email from Jens to try cleaning my daughter board slots and I was waiting for the ok to try in other ide  port. And the master slave switch on the DOM doesn't effect nothing apparently. Will try after work today.
