IDE cd-rom and HDtoolbox
« on: February 19, 2003, 08:23:43 AM »
Hi all,
I bopught a second hand artec IDE cd-burner and sometimes it is recognizes and sometimes not whereas my IDE HD always is. Error message is cannot open scsi.device and HDtoolbox can not find anything else on the scsi.device besides the HD.
What is wrong here ? (A1200PPC+OS3.9)

AFAIK they are right configured ! Funny thing is that under debian linux, everything is always recognized !
Power supply ? well it is a tower with 230W PSU and I removed a few things like df0 and extra scsi drives to save power but still this porblem.

Setpatch thing is done (in fact since I bought OS3.5 I have this option for setpatch, otherwise no IDE drive would be seen).
I dont have an IDE splitter, because AFAIK I dont need one (at least until now), my A1200 should handle 2 devices without a buffered interface.

my HD is 3.5'' and dual cable is as short as possible (in fact only the CDR is on a bay, my HD is laying at the bottom of the tower).
I think it is something with scsi.device.
Now I reactivated blizkick in my startup-sequence and until now the CD is recognized.
Thanks
