HDToolbox SCSI hard drive configuration help needed

[scuzzb494]

Hi

I have a specially edited 'info ' file for reading SCSI drives. Just edited the HDToolbox 'info' icon so that it picked up the SCSI drive. Always worth checking the info icon with DOPUS cus they do get edited.

Hi

Is that the 2000 or 4000 version. Also do you have the manual and the FAAASTPREP disk.. May help.

[ quote Ye Olde Big Book ]


A full length Zorro II scsi card which contains 8 x 30pin SIMM slots for up tp 8MB of additional RAM. The card also gas enough space to mount a hard drive directly onto the card. The card was often supplied with a SCSI hard drive, usually a 52MB Quantum.

RAM Configuration

The SIMMs are inserted from CN10 onwards and must be done in increments of 2MB, therefore 0, 2, 4, 6, 8MB are the only possible RAM configurations.

RAM Jumpers
Memory SIMM Locations J5 J6 J7 J8 J9
0MB NONE OFF OFF ON OFF ON
2MB CN10-CN11 OFF ON OFF OFF ON
4MB CN10-CN13 ON OFF OFF OFF ON
6MB CN10-CN15 OFF OFF ON ON OFF
8MB CN10-CN17 OFF ON OFF ON OFF

My info on my SCSI HDToolbox reads

SCSI_DEVICE_NAME=1230scsi.device [ your is the gvp ]
SCSI_MAX_ADDRESS=6
SCSI_MAX_LUN=7
XT_NAME=XT

Not that that will probably help

My SCSI drive's off the Blizzard SCSI Kit are
Address Units 2 and 4.

Sadly I have one of your cards in an A2000
that doesn`t work. Though I do have one
working in an A4000 and I have a ZIP drive
plugged into the back also. Seem to recall
I did have problems getting the drive to
spin up on odd occasions. Have you tried
leaving it for a while ( real longshot )
Can you see the partitions, can you verify
the drive, can you rename the drive...
