Hi all!
I've got hold of a Trumpcard SCSI, but SCSI is not for the inpatient new owner. It doe'nt mattar what i try, with jumpers on the drive and all. What i-m trying to achieve is to get an A2000 up and running. The disk works fine. I've tried the card in an A3000 and in an A4000, but the HD light an finally the Power light starts to flash. No boot from floppy is possible. Should it be set pin setup as SCSI device 2 or 6. Someone hwo is familiar to this?
Thankful for any help.

The IVS Trumpcard does not have SCSI jumpers.
The IVS Trumpcard Professional does have jumpers. If that is your card, set S0,S1,S2 to OFF (ID7) , and F1 to OFF (SCSI drive abritration). (I have no data on S3 jumper). Also set the Boot jumper to YES. Configure the SCSI ID on the drive to 6.

Thank's for answering. No it's not a Pro card, so i've got two jumpers to set. One is some SCSI ID 2 or 6 and one is Boot from 1,0 or 1.3 rom. That's it.
Best reguards Linus

What writing is on the card. Is there a version number?
Suggestion: Set it to 1.3 (boot). Set the SCSI jumper to 6. Try it. Also verify what SCSI ID your physical drive has. All SCSI drives have a jumper pads for setting the ID.
Most SCSI cards default to ID7. So, drives are setup as ID 0 thru 6. The SCSI bus reads from 6 to 0, so 6 is preferred for physical hard drives.
There maybe a problem with the card set to 6 and the drive set to 6, as this would be technically wrong. It should cause all types of havoc, and lockup the bus with the symptoms you said.
