68 pin SCSI in Amiga
« on: July 07, 2009, 11:59:25 PM »
Hi,
Will an Amiga work with a 68 pin SCSI hard drive (2.1 Gig, Seagate) if you use a 68 to 50 pin adaptor? A shop about 50 miles away is giving a couple away, if I go pick them up!

Should be fine.


Thanks, I thought it should be OK , but I never heard of an Amiga user doing it.

Ok, I picked up the drives. I downloaded the new(er) HDtoolbox, when I run it this is what it says.... "Compaq   ST32171w     0940     unsupported" and all the buttons are grayed out.
If I use the 3.1 install disk it usually locks up when scanning for drives, but once it got to the partitioning stage and I think it was asking me to enter data like # of cylinders, size , sectors etc. It seemed to think I had a 20meg hard disk. Is there any other software I can use that might support it? Also I'm using a 2091 rev. 6.6 card that is working with a Quantum drive (40meg), would it make difference if I used a GVP, ICD or Fastlane card?

Ok,
I tried the GVP faaastprep program. Unfortunatly all it says is "Can't open GVPSCSI.device", the file is in the Expansion drawer.
