AMIGA 1200 SQUIRREL CDROM CD32 NOT WORKING?

[starf81]

Sorry, it is an OT question but always related to the Squirrel interface.

Could you check if your A1200s recognize it in the Early Startup Menu?
I've recently got one of these interfaces but is seems not working...

Thank you!

i checked the bios & it doesn't detect it as another device,but if i do the mount command it does work and works fine in Workbench and is always found via ide fix etc. But can't seem to boot a cd32 game disc as it's saying drive not mounted weird. :crazy:

When you turn on your Amiga, does it send a signal to the external SCSI peripherals? I mean, usually when the computer starts, the CD-ROM light blinks for a few seconds because it get a signal... but it does not happens with my Squirrel.
I'm trying to understand if it is defective or not...

have you checked the power supply going to your cdrom drive.

Yes, the cdrom unit is 100% ok... but I can't say the same for the Squirrel
