More than one SCSI device on MultiEvolution 500?
« on: January 06, 2006, 06:56:09 PM »
I have a A500+ with an MultiEvolution 500 SCSI and RAM expansion. The expansion have a internal 3.5" SCSI disk, and a 25 pin connector on the back. It start scanning for devices, when i turn on the amiga, and tries to boot from the first device it finds, instead of scanning the rest of the bus. I have found the manual i german (http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/search.pl?product=evolution), but that didn't get me anywhere (my german skills are just enough to order beer and sausages). How can i connect a second harddrive?

I've tried that. SCSIBootSel can see both harddrives, but no matter what i select, it still boots from the first one it finds.

A have a 700 mb drive mounted in the controller's box at id 6, with WB 2.0, and the 100 mb drive, that came with the Amiga, when i brought it second hand in external box with id 2 and a trashed WB 1.3, where nothing works. But i would like to transfer the HD installed games from the 100 mb drive, without having to use floppys or transfer everything over the serial port.

Well, i tried that but i wasn't sure if the software would format the drive, so i aborted. But i'll try make a backup of the drive and try again.

Thanks.
