Title: Funny SCSI HD Story
Post by: amiga1260 on August 04, 2004, 04:35:33 PM
Two weeks ago I got a SCSI HD of 9.1 GB for free. I needed a SCSI 68 pins to 50 pins convertor. I wanted to put it in my PC. After I put the terminator and 8-bit SCSi mode on, I booted my PC with Windows XP, but Windows XP doesn't saw the SCSI HD.

So I put it in an external SCSI case and connected to my A1200 with a Blizzard SCSI-kit. I was running Amiga OS 3.9. HDToolbox saw my HD.

Strange that the drive doesn't work in the PC. I tried one more time. I put the Windows XP CD in the CD drive. I choose to intall Windows XP. I could choose to install Windows XP on the SCSI HD. I made a partition and rebooted the PC. Now Windows XP sees my SCSI Drive.

Bill Gates says that Windows is user-friendly, but I think Amiga OS is much better.

I tried plugging a SCSI in every freakin' port of my Amiga.  It did not even spin up, let alone recognize it.

My Windows XP can see anyting you place in front of the webcam.  You might just have a low light issue.
