A4000 tower...help!

Well, today I experienced something odd... Itried to plug a 9.1GB Western Digital 80pin SCSI drive through an adaptor in my 4000T, the drive was'nt recognised, but at least the machine booted into workbench for the first time with a SCSI hard-drive connected. I then gave up the 80 pin drive, and connected another 68 pin drive I had lying around, which did'nt cooperate very well in my 4000T. (see previous postings in thread)

Guess what? Now it is found by hdtoolbox and works like a charm. I haven't touched any settings from the last time I tested it, just threw it in...
And now it works. Maybe my 4000T was so glad I gave it a scandoubler that it decided to give me access to my scsi hdd's? :-)

I don't know if it helps...I suspect the A4000T has a special version of workbench 3.1. I guess this is because of a special version of scsi.device, which should be able to make work both the onboard IDE and SCSI controller.
My 4000T came with WB disks labeled "3.1 4000T".

cheers

Cheers!

Yep, I know the 4000T had a special version of WB. Infact workbench.library was on disk instead of in ROM because of the second scsi.device.

This was not the problem though, my A4000T disliked all scsi hdd's. I had a scsi cd-rom working fine along with two IDE hdd's, but adding a scsi hdd always made the machine choke. But today, wohoo! :-D  it works perfectly?! And that is what is strange, because I haven't touched anything since last time I tried to connect a SCSI hdd.

Humm...haunted computer?
