CS060MK2 SCSI kit does not seem to work. Help, pleaze!

[ksk]

Hopefully someone can help me with my CS060MK2 & SCSI kit problem.

I've got a SCSI kit to test & buy.

And I'm having difficulties of getting it to work.

(I've made sure that it is the right model meant for my MK2)


My HW: A4000 & CS060@50Mhz, 128M RAM
(& Buddha IDE, Multifacecard3, Ariadne ethernet, CV64-3D, Scandoubler)

When I install the SCSI kit and power the computer on, CS BIOS starts, flashes colors and HDD lights flash once. Then nothing.
Screen stays blank (black), and there is no HDD activity.
I've waited 15 minutes and there's no change.
Ctrl+Amiga+Amiga resets wont help.
Holding mousebuttons down does not bring the boot selection screen.

Same thing with or without internal/external SCSI cables attached to the SCSI kit.
Tried with different jumper settings (slow mode etc.).

I updated the flash of the CS.

Check EA000 - Failed
Flash EA000 - ++E - Empty
Prog EA000 - OK
Check EA000 - Ok

Check EA4000 - Failed
Flash EA4000 - E -Empty
Prog EA4000 - OK
Check EA4000 - OK

Check 8000 - OK
Check C000 - OK

So it went ok (?).


I tried again. The system worked 100% without the kit.
With the kit installed the same happened as before.


Does anyone know if there is a known conflight that affects this situation?

Does anyone know what might be broken on the SCSI kit & how to fix it?


Thanks.

I tried with and without SCSI cables & disks.
Not absolutely sure about the termination. I read that there is some automatic termination for external drives/bus, there was no HDD on the external connector but the termination "power jumper" (or whatever) was on for the external bus.
The internal drive that was connected was very old Fujitsu ... I need to search for data/manual sheets for that. The termination in that drive was not clear... The drive just worked at the end of SCSI cable at my friends place.

But I think the kit does not function far enought to seek for HDDs...

@QuikSanz

As I originally wrote, A4000 does not boot at all when the SCSI kit is in place.

When I install the SCSI kit and power the computer on, CS BIOS starts, flashes colors and HDD lights flash once. Then nothing.
Screen stays blank (black), and there is no HDD activity.
I've waited 15 minutes and there's no change.
Ctrl+Amiga+Amiga resets wont help. (same sceanario as with cold start)
Holding mousebuttons down does not bring the boot selection screen.

The floppy disk is not available.
I got the .lha from web.

What might be the latest firmware for the CSMK2?


(not too encouraging when not even Garda knows anything about CSMK2. I wonder then, who designed the card & kit in the first place ...)  :-(

@everybody & soul

Thanks so far.

The card was and still is 060 running at 50Mhz.

I know the overclocking problematic from the previous SCSI kit owner (current owner untill I deside to buy it, if I get it working), who had tried to flash the CSMK2 @ ~64Mhz. Flash burning failed and I think his firmware broke so that re-burning is not possible any more.


@Framiga

I'll definitely check that out, thanks.
