Re: A2000 CD-ROM with A2091

Hi guys.

I have an A2000 with a A2091 (with 2Mb fast RAM) running a 50M SCSI hard drive that boots to WB 2 quite nicely. I have had a 2x speed SCSI CD-ROM drive plugged in for years that's never been recognised by the system. I have just got hold of the A2091 Install disk, but not looked at it yet. I can transfer files and disk images from a PC to the A2000 using Amiga Explorer with no problems.

Basically, could someone explain as near step by step as possible how I would get the system to see the CD-ROM drive? Is it possible to get it to boot from it or does it always need drivers from inside WB first?

Many thanks for any replies.
well first of all got have it connected to power source then connected to scsi cable
set jumper id to number higher than your hard drive . have termintaion on if its the last physical scsi device on the chain.
boot your machine check to see if light on front scsi drive is flicking before the machine fully boots to wb should be slight delay .
download idefix97 of the aminet and run find device after you installed it fully to your hard drive
get back to me after these steps
