A2000 Questions

[bjjones37]

I just acquired an A2000 with a hard drive screwed onto a card in a slot. It appears to be a 60M Seagate 157N. When I go to HDToolBox, no drives show up at all and all of the options are greyed out.  But it boots off the drive just fine and a second hard drive on the chain works okay too.  Can I put a 1G in the place of the drive on the card and how would I partition it?  And how come no drives show up in HDToolBox?

Nice A2000 box.  Came with a 68020+68881 processor card. Kickstart is 37.175.

Which kind of controller card? You might need to set the device name in HDToolBox: http://www.pcguru.plus.com/uae_hdtoolbox.html

I tried this like you suggested but HDToolBox still says "Driver Not Installed".

 But the hard drives are still working.

If it's not a Commodore  controller card, look around on your workbench for the configuration program program used for that card.

It turns out it is an IVS Grandslam (or Trumpcard 2000 Pro - same thing).  It has the driver in BIOS on the card and HDToolBox cannot see it.  I found a DMS image online with the utilities for the card.  It has 4MB RAM on the SCSI card with room for 4 more. What I really need to know at this point is what size Hard Drive can this card support.  Have not found that info yet.  For now I have a 1GB mounted in it, but I could put an 18GB if it will support it.
