SCSI JAZ & GVPSCSI problems
« on: November 13, 2005, 02:36:09 AM »
Hi folks:
i'm having a strange problem with an external 1gb SCSI unit.
I have an A4008 GVP Scsi controller on an A4000d. I'm having the following problems:
a.- the unit is recognized and i can format it.
b.- After that if i try to copy any files to the jaz disk i get multiple and unending disk errors. I changed the jaz disk in order to avoid a problem with the special jaz disk.
c.- If i try the same disk on my pc the disk is recognized and without problemas after a format.


My Ami config is:
1.- A4000, 12 mb ram, 3.0 Rom and OS.
2.- Xsurf and ZIp100 Ide mounted on the xsurf_atapi.device
3.- IDE CDRW on the normal SCSI.device

Any ideas?

Thanks

Rod

p.d. I still have the strange problem at boot time. I have to boot without startup-sequence, loadwb and reboot. Otherwise it stays at the boot sequence.

Hi Amiga4k:
i doublechcked today. The card it's not an A4008, it's GVP Impact Series II A4000-HC+8 RevII.

The only chip that looks as a ROM is:
 B9242 - NM27C256Q - 200 - 4.13/289508

The SCSI controler doesn't have a WD chip but the GVP-DPRC-01.

I'm downloading gururom from amiga-hardware for study.
Any ideas?
