X-Surf & LS-120

[flaviosr]

Hi,

a very quick question.
I have both of the above but the LS-120 is not recognized by the system... I have the doubt that the limited IDE controller of the X-Surf cannot use the LS-120... am I right? :-(

Ciao and thank you

Hi,

ok... let's make a step backward.

I mounted the LS-120 and it "seems" ok... :-o
I tried all the files from Aminet and they do not work (I changed the device to the right name... only a doubt, for master unit I use the "0", right?).
I used the IDEFix LS-120 features and they do not see the LS-120... IDEFix has a program for configuration that checks all internal controllers and it does not see the unit.
HDToolBox does not see the unit either...
Ok... I could not test the unit in other computers so it could be faulty... this is my only doubt... :-(
I started this 3d to see if somebody had ever used a LS-120 with X-Surf... a real feedback...
I try to find out a PC (not I have only a laptop) so that I can test the unit for sure... :-o

I have also some doubts since it's written in the small manual: "the timing is not configurable (i.e. only new harddrives will work), and...". I also read it would not be possible to use CD-burner... that's why I have anyway some doubts...

Ciao and thank you

Yes... the unit works... it makes the rumors my parallel other unit makes! And I can eject floppies with no problems...

My main doubt (apart my ability to create dedicated mountlist) is the X-Surf controller itself: it's not a complete one! You can read also in Amiga HW... I "supposed" it would be able to use an LS-120 but not sure... that's why I looked for somebody with direct experience in this matter...
