Amiga 2000 ALF2 Scsi Controller.. Need help
« on: February 18, 2010, 05:42:22 PM »
My A2000 came with an ALF2 SCSI controller which i cannot get working

I managed to download the software disk for it from one of those Amiga hardware database sites and i converted the DMS file to ADF and wrote the ADF to disk using EASYADF.
During bootup (of the ALF2 software disk) it recognizes that the ALF2 controller is installed, but whenever i try to enter the drive ID in the software it says something about no device or drive being connected.

I dont know much about SCSI devices unfortunatly.

The drive is a Connor 1Gb with a 50pin connector which i connected to the SCSI board and powered using the Amiga's PSU.

From the Hard Drive i set the SCSI ID using the onboard jumpers.

(NOTE) I cannot find any documentation for the ALF2, only for the ISA card ST-01/ST-02 controller attached to the ALF2 zorro board. So have no idea if any jumpers need settings.

I don't know if or what a SCSI terminator is and if i have one or need one

Any help would really be appreciated

Also, it does not show up in SYSINFO or Early Startup.

The drive is less than 1Gb. Thing is i dont have much experience with scsi. I know IDE has the master/slave/cable select etc.. but i never really worked with scsi drives before. For example, do i have to set some jumper on the actual drive to ID it? And if anyone has the manual for the controller that would be briliant
