SCSI >4Gb
« on: June 14, 2005, 09:26:02 PM »
I have tried connecting several SCSI hard disks (9Gb 4,3Gb) using adapter (68->50) to A2091 (ROM 7) but hdinsttools always gives error:

"Device not found"
 :-x
A2091 works fine with 50Mb SCSI.
BTW, I cannot see termination jumper on those >4Gb SCSI disks.
What ID should be set : A0,A1,A2 and A3?
Better sorry than worry.

The drives are IBM 9ES, 68pin and A2091 has 7.0 ROMs (at least I think it does). KS is 3.1
Better sorry than worry.

It seems to be termination problem. The 4,3 Gb (DDRS-34560)model works but 9Gb (DDRS39130)doesn't.

I have another 9Gb (DGHS)that has jumper for ACTIVE termination, should I set it to on?
Better sorry than worry.

it must be termination, LVD model doesn't have built-in terminator and I don't have external, eh.. :-x

I got two IBM HDDs working  :-)  :-)  :banana:  :banana:  :banana:

Important thing is to put in the jumper for:

DISABLE SYNC NEGOTIATIONS

Amiga wouldnt boot at all without it (HDD LED constantly on).
Thats for IBM DGHS 50pin 9Gb HDD.

The IBM DDRS 34560 4,3 only needs jumper for termination.
Third one (DDRS 39130) doesnt have builtin termination and won't work.
(on A2091)

stormlord: yes, I thought about that too, but I want them in different Amigas :-)
Better sorry than worry.
