Question about SCSI jumpers and HDD capacity

[RiP]

1. Does anyone know the maximum hard disk capacity for GVP A2000-HC+8 Series II REV I (ROM 3.12S/3.2A)?
2. What are jumpers for SCSI ID on GVP card?
3. What are these jumpers under Quantum ProDrive LPS 50MB:

You mean the host adapter? Traditionally, the host adapter has the SCSI ID 7 which typically cannot be changed. For the drive, the SCSI ID can be selected with the A0..A2 jumpers.


SS: Seek test (do not set jumper, only for testing)
WS: Wait spin. If jumpered, the drive starts delayed to avoid a breakdown of the power during startup.
EP: Enable parity. Allows usage on older systems which do not generate a parity signal. If jumpered, the parity is tested.

I mean these: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/impact2000hc8
J4 -   SCSI drive
J10-J12 -   SCSI ID

Would you explain more about A0-A2 jumpers?
Should I set jumper for EP or WS?

Thanks for replies, I'm new to SCSI stuffs x)
I feel my HDD is dying since it makes strange noise at each startup.
Low capacity SCSI HDDs are expensive here and I have only KS2.04+WB2 =/

And should I set jumper for EP or WS?

Just bought 2940UW but it can't find my Quantum ProDrive LPS 50MB SCSI, stuck in Scanning SCSI ID after pressing Ctrl+A

[RiP]

No, I want to connect amiga hard disk to PC using 2940uw to backup data via Winuae.

[RiP]

But 2940uw doesn't detect hard disk in Ctrl+A menu.

I select SCSI Disk Utilities then Internal but it doesn't find my hard disk and stuck while detecting.
I don't know much about SCSI stuffs, should I set something? :confused:

[RiP]

I have heard it's possible to copy data on amiga's hard disk via Winuae and I want to check SCSI hard disks with HDTune for bad sectors and SMART data.

[RiP]

Finally made it to work, maybe bad cable or not installed well in the port.
Now all I need is to know how to make it to work with Winuae =/

Just found a working Seagate SCSI 2GB HDD and prepared it well.
But when I use 2 HDDs, it doesn't detect one of them :confused:
I set first HDD as ID0 and the second as ID1 but don't know what's wrong

It is, I have done this myself a few times. You need to tell WinUAE, via a setting in the harddrive options, if I remember correctly.
Then it shuld be possible to find the harddrive on the amiga/uae side using toolbox and then mount and format the drive with the proper file system..

Would you explain more? and what file system, FFS?

( The new HDD makes sound like the jet engine at startup :lol: )

Finally found what was the issue, onboard/integrated terminator on device :hammer:
Now all I need is to prepare this:
