SCSI question
« on: February 10, 2006, 08:59:50 PM »
Hmmm.... I just tried to attach a SCSI Ultra320, 36,4 GB HD to the CyberstormPPC (SCSI3). I got the following message when I started HDToolBox:

"
Unit 2
The program >>HDToolBox<< or the unit is buggy.
The sc_Length dma transfer length is smaller than the requested transfer length.

This may be caused by a wrong length in the CMD[] or by a unit firmware problem.
CMD[]=Cmd=0x250000000000000000000000
Length=8 Skipped length=238
"

I thought newer SCSI devices would be backward compatible, i.e. adapt to older controllers and vice versa.

I havent tried this HD on my PC SCSI controller yet, it may be broken, but I doubt that. It's not that old.

Ultra320 SCSI wont work with SCSI3 controller on CyberstormPPC. Confirmed?

Its a HP Invent HD, a couple of years old. Ultra320, 36.4 GB.

Last plug on SCSI cable is a terminator. I currently use a Seagate 18.5 GB SCSI3 HD and this works excellent. Just switching the Seagate with the HP does not work.

HDToolBox is the one from AmigaOS 3.9.

Holding down Esc at startup does bring me to the Cyberstorm menu, but its running in some screenmode too funky for my old 1084 i'm using while i'm fixing with the tower. I cant see a thing...???
