My Blizzard 1230-II SCSI interface one day stopped functioning,
ie no booting. By using my SquirrelSCSI interface via the
PCMCIA slot I knew the drives were functioning correctly,
Eventually I opened up my A1200, and when I removed the floppy
drive to see the SCSI interface thing I found why the interface
was not functioning: an internal ribbon cable had become
detached from its position. So it was just a matter of reconnecting
the ribbon socket firmly and everything was back in action.
This of course may not be the cause of your own problem,
Have you got 2 SCSI interfaces?
If so you could then determine if the problem is with the
drive or the interface,
alternatively connect your drives to a different machine with
SCSI,
One other remotely possible idea: could the problem be with
your external cable, have you tried buying a brand new high
quality SCSI cable and seeing if it now functions?
:maybe your cable has got degraded somehow,
someone once told me that most SCSI problems are cable problems,
so its worth studying all cables involved,
