Problems with A2090a and a SCSI disk
« on: February 05, 2004, 02:00:34 AM »
Hi, I have an A2090a in my A2000 and at the moment a extremely slow 20MB XT Harddrive is connected to it.  I was planning on exchanging this with a slightly bigger (and faster!) SCSI drive but hasn't been able to get it working :( ..

Me and a friend spent many hours with this but without any progress. At first we tried a 240MB Quantum disk which we could not find any information about on the net, so we plugged the disk into another Amiga and read the information that we could get from HDToolbox and tried to feed that to the prep program (and mountlist.hd) but it got stuck as soon as it was gonna write everything to the disk.

After lots of battling with this we tried a smaller 50MB Quantum disk with the same results :( But for this disk we could find some information on the net about cylinders, heads and so on, but those didn't match with what HDToolBox told us at all. Anyways we tried using those values instead but it only lead to the same thing :(

Does anyone here have any experience with setting up a SCSI disk on a A2090a ? I would appreciate all help I can get :) sorry if this post got a little messy, I'm very tired right now and can't be bothered to read through it all again looking for errors and stuff  :-D
Slightly bored and severly confused..
