Making the A2000 Go
« on: September 06, 2009, 02:30:49 AM »
Greetings:

I have finally gotten around to playing with my A2000. I am working with it trying to get some software on her and I am just trying to get her going before I start the upgrades :-)

It already has a GVP 68030 accelerator and GVP SCSI card on board.  It is currently running the 2.05 ROM (I do have the 3.1, but I am waiting to install it until I get things looked at on her and of course install my battery mod for the RTC.  I had our local wizard put it together it for me and it will use a CR2032 button cell when I get around to putting the mod in.

Right Now I am having trouble gettng my SCSI external CDRW drive to be seen by the system.

It has in it (some of this will be review):

GVP SCSI adapater
GVP 68030 accelerator card
Kickstart version 37.175
Workbench version 38.35

The external CD device is a Plextor 12/10/32S writer (which worked flawlessly with my old 4000, but of course this is an A2000.

Am I missing a driver?  If so, what driver should I use or what files do I need to modify... it has honestly been so long, this is all brand new again!

Hope someone can help.

Thanks,

Mike

@matt_h:  Thanks.  I believe that is what it is missing.  I could see the SCSI device initialize but the CD never appeared in my WB... so it is probably lack of a CDFS.

@nishtek:  Thanks.  Downloaded AmiCDFS from Aminet and will give that a try.
