I just got my first Amiga, an Amiga 2000 with a GVP G-Force 030 accelerator. It came with a hard drive connected to the SCSI controller via a 68-pin to 50-pin adapter. I've got a few SCSI CD-ROM drives (an AppleCD 600 and an old 8x OEM CD burner) sitting around that would be helpful for loading Protracker sample disks. Tried to hook them up to the other plug on the SCSI cable but couldn't get any of them to work.
I tried connecting them adapter - HD - CD and adapter - CD - HD. The adapter is ID 7, the HD is ID 0, and the CDs I set to ID 3. All that would happen is the hard drive light would be stuck on full after it spun up and the computer wouldn't boot. It's been forever since I had to set up any SCSI devices, and those were in Macs. What else should I be looking at?
