A2000 SCSI Card Reader
« on: May 06, 2012, 03:44:56 AM »
Ok, so I have one of the Mechware SCSI CF readers.  I got it to work fine with my A2091.  It will even work with LUNs enabled, as I have had a CF plugged directly into the CF slot, and the bootable one in the PCMCIA slot.  I can go in and partition, and do everything to the one in the CF slot, no problem.  Just another drive.  So, here is my question,  my A2000 has had the battery taken out.  So, if, when I enable LUNs on the A2091, if I go into HDtools and do a save changes on the drive, it has to scan the bus EVERY time I boot up.  Could it be a no battery issue, or the fact that nothing is plugged into the slot itself, hence showing up "unknown"?  I just wonder, if you had an actual media card of the correct type in each slot on the reader, each was recognized, and did a save changes in HDtoolbox, if it would boot up without scanning the bus every time.  Or, is it the fact that I don't have a battery?  I have really learned a lot about SCSI in the last little bit, but it is fun.

One more thing, it WILL boot from the regular CF slot just fine, with nothing in the PCMCIA slot, the only thing is it has to scan the bus every time, so it takes forever to boot.  At least it will on my machine.
