Amiga 2000 with Trumpcard 2000. SCSI CDROM not working

[Ral-Clan]

Have you upgraded the ROM to the latest version?'

I own the external sidecar version of this device for the A500 and unless you have the latest ROM you can run into problems. Some on ebay was selling burned ROMs a few years back. Might want to check there.

One old thread I found:

Googling IVS Trumpcard Amiga ROM turns up many more discussions about this. The binary is floating around on the internet.

Hmmm...I know I have an external SCSI CD-ROM drive working on my Amiga with Trumpcard 500. There is a 105MB hard drive inside the chassis.

Things to suggest (worth a try):

- turn on the Amiga with a CD-R in the tray instead of empty.
- change the order of the SCSI devices
- Have you checked that the LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) don't conflict? This actually shouldn't be a problem if the devices are set to different SCSI device numbers. I'm not even sure you CAN change the LUN on a CD-ROM drive.
- try a different CD drive if you have one

I vaguely recall that this card was reported to be problematic with some removable media drives (that were made after the invention of the card).
