Urgent Help Required - SCSI CD Drive (A1230)
« on: May 20, 2007, 09:46:54 PM »
Hi again,

Sorry to say but got yet another problem. The issue is as follows...

I managed to get a 25 to 50 pin SCSI cable and it fits in my CD drive and my SCSI interface slots fine. Although I was told it's just like a floppy drive but it is picking up nothing. What tell-tale signs do I need to look for if it is working properly? A list would be helpful and I will try to reply in as short time possible. Feel free to ask me anything but I'm not a pro Amiga user really (just like them allot :lol: ).

Thanks and look forward to receiving any help.

Even for 3.1 OS? I was told it's pritty much plug 'n' play. If I do need this software how can I get it onto my Amiga? (it's not online). :-?

Well the seller supplied me with the following floppys...

"From Aminet 1/2 + 2/2"
"Power CD Disk 1 + 2"
"JUE CD" <- ???
"Squirrel CD Install"

Bare in mind I haven't tested them yet.

[EDIT] Disks only seem to supply stiff for Squirrel, MPEG, Music and PhotoCD stuff. had a guy on my MSN who tried to help but to no avail. Any help anyone? :-?

No it has just the 1 and 2 phono outputs. Plus it's saying "hdtoolbox: Unknown Command".

motrucker: I have looked and it's in the "DOSDrivers" drawer as standard.

spirantho: I havn't run the Squirrel installer as I know it isn't a Squirrel cable. I have typed in "1230scsi.device" and the jumper is on "ID1" physically shown on the back of the CD drive so I think I remember it being "UNIT=1". This was shown on the DOSDrivers folder and on the "CD0" Info. "HDToolbox" could run it brefly but it only founf a SCSI device no mention of CD drives. I did have help from a guy on MSN but that's as far as he can help without being there apparently. Im not home at the moment but i'd be happy to say what exacly it says on the "CD0" Info. Maybe I did something wrong... :-?

P.s. 100'th post :-P
