GVP 2000-HC+8 & Guru ROM v6.13
« on: September 12, 2007, 09:20:58 PM »
Hi,

I have the subject card and... I have some problems.
The card works since I can see all the installed memory (6 Mb + 2 Mb not used since I have an A2286AT).
I have now an HD but I cannot find out how to use it.
Some config info:
* card ID0
* HD ID1
* CD-ROM ID2 - terminated
The GVP utils see the HD but I cannot use it.
Some questions:
* a small descriptions of the Guru ROMs...?
* which is the device name? omniscsi.device? gvpscsi.device?
* can I use the HDToolBox to config the HD?
* usual way (HDToolBox [device] from CLI)?
* have I to term the external SCSI port of the card?
* When I put a jumper in the J4 the computer don't do anything... J4 is the autoboot jumper, right?

Thanx to all...

Looks good. The card is probably at ID7 though, not 0. (default=7)
*** I received it with ID3 and then I decided to change it to ID0... could this create problems? Normally it should not...

GVP Utils sees it? Are you really sure it has a GURU rom?
*** the HD is seen but I cannot use it! :(((
The HD is seen only by the GVP Util and only if I use bindrive (or something similar) command from menu!
mmm... there is the strange socket with a label Guru ROM v6.13... and I have also the floppy media with the driver... that's where I read about omnidevice!

omniscsi.device is if it does have a guru rom, gvpscsi.device if it doesn't.
*** with HDTooLBox none of the above works... :(((
Only the FassstPrep sees the HD...

* have I to term the external SCSI port of the card?

Not if there is nothing connected. If there is the last device should be terminated.
*** I want to use internally an HD and a CD-ROM (teminated at the end)... should I term the external plug?

J4 is autoboot. You mean it doesn't boot from HD, or does it hang completely?[/quote]
*** it hangs completely! :(((
Direct question: if J4 is closed the card is autobooting, right?

Ciao and thanx
