Installing two SCSI controlers...
« on: April 21, 2011, 09:04:36 PM »
Hi all....
My A2000 currently has a GVP A2000-HC +8 SCSI controller w/HDD & CD.
A very generous chap here on the site sold me a Phase 5: Blizzard 2060/ERC 40MHz w/SCSI onboard controller.
 
1st thing I did was drop the 040.library in libs on my WB2.1.
Popped in the card and got....  nothing. No boot.
So, fiddled around with every jumper imaginable on both cards.
I decided to just see if the Blizzard would boot on it's own with my HDD.
Yup... cool! Fast? :eek: Uh, OMG! Blazing!
Popped the GVP back in and no boot. If I remove the autoboot jumper from the GVP the system will boot off the Blizzard.
 
Now, here's the kicker, I used SCSI-Inquire that came with ASIM-CDFS and I can see the system simply can't see both SCSI drivers from their respective ROMs. Either one or the other but not both. Any thoughts?

Ahhh, all very good points to remove the GVP. Although I am going to try Matt's suggestion before putting the GVP back in it's box. The GVP ROM version is 3.07
 
Just two things that bug me with removing GVP.
1. No place to mount my Hard Drive now
2. When playing an audio CD (very choppy without accelerator), the sound no longer is heard from the motherboard audio ports. I suspect that has something to do with the SCSI operating on the CPU slot though. I simply plugged the speakers into the audio jack on the front of the CD unit to resolve. CDs play perfect now!
 
Man, I love this Blizzard! :)
 
As always, thanks guys!
 
BTW, is there a place to connect the case HDD light to the Blizzard?
