SCSI CD writer in A4000T query
« on: December 25, 2003, 03:09:37 PM »
I am trying to attach a SCSI-II CD-R to the A4000T's SCS-II controller. Since I have no 'A4000T User Guide', I am failing to do this relatively easy job. For instance, I have no insight in what the DIP-switch does, which is located at the back of the computer. Now the CD device is not recognized by any software that checks for devices on '2nd.scsi.device' (I used 'SCSI_inquire'). I guess the SCSI termination is my main problem.

The CD-R is a Matsushita-Kotobuki (Panasonic?) one featuring jumpers on the back for (1) scsi adress number 1-2-4, (2) parity, (3) terminator, (4) term power.

The DIP-switch has the following diagram on a sticker next to it:

---------------ON------OFF
8 LUN-------0--------0-6
7 TERM-----ON-----OFF
6 SYNC-----ON-----OFF
5 SPIN------NORM-LONG
4 SCSI------FAST--NORM
3 \
2 - ADR
1 /

What DIP-swith configuration and CD-jumper configuration should I use to get this thing working?

PS: Wanted: the A4000Ts User Guide ;p

Thanks! :-?

@Lemmink:

Thanks, I actually connected the drive to what appears to be a terminator socket (the upward facing connector). It looked so right to me...

@Sprocket:

Drive now appears correctly under ... 2nd.scsi.device. The scsi.device is where my IDE drives are connected to. Thanks for the manual description.

@Castellan:
You sure know a lot about all things Amiga!

Wish you all a happy change-over to the New Year!
