Hi Mick. Congrats on finding the Squirrel. A darn good piece of equipment.

If you've installed the Squirrelprogram, then you're halfway.

Is there a CD0 in your DEVS drawer? Take it out of STORAGE if its not there. From the WB, click once on CD0, and choose info from the icon menu. The device and unit# of your CDdrive should be listed. Write squirrelscsi.device and whatever unit number your CD is and then save.

edit: of course, the last device in the SCSI chain HAS to be terminated.

If all you have connected to your A1200 is the CD drive, then there is no need to worry about what unit number the CD is set to. Its when you have different items like ZIP drives and  scanners hooked up, that you have to make sure that each device has a different number. At the end of the chain, you have to terminate it.

1200===CD===terminator

1200===scanner===CD====terminator

1200===CD===scanner===Zip===terminator

It doesn't matter which port on the CDDrive you put the SquirrelSCSI and the terminator.

Again, make sure that your CD0 in your DEVS/DOSDRIVERS drawer is listed with SQUIRRELSCSI.DEVICE and has the same unit number as the CDdrive.
