Blizzard 1230 Mk IV ans SCSI controller

[Roger_S]

hi all,

I recently bought a a1200 with Blizzard 1230 Mk IV ans SCSI controller as a completer set. However the original software from the accelerator was not included.
I found software on an amiga website together with it's manual. The board is installed correctly an seems to work fine. I installed the software using winuae and placed the hdd back into the a1200. When I now try to run the scsi config tools a message appears that the software cannot find ascsi device v7 or higher. I have an external scsi cdrom and harddrive connected and terminated (passive) , but both aren´t detected.  

i'm not in to scsi so it might be that I did something wrong but I can't figure out what that is.

An help please.

Thanks

Roger

hi tokyoracer,

I did the following:
Checked in devs if there is a cd0, none.
Checked in c:scsi-tools, there is cd0.
Clicked one, menubar-information.

displays lots of information.


Edit:

Found it in storage:

information:
activate=1
device=scsi.device
unit=2

The blizzard software installs amicdfs automatically. I haven't tried the cli command. Will try this now.

In this case, "1230scsi.device".




Does this mean i have to change the "icon" properties?

Done that,

The scsi tools that i downloaded, now detect the cdplayer and harddrive. So that seems to work fine, I can eject a cd from within this software.

1 question remains and that is how to mount a cd. amicdfs has been installed, but I don't now how to continue or what to expect when to insert a cd.

Thanks for the help sofar!

I didn't know that but I got everything working now. CD automounts now.

Thanks for all the help!

And we are back...

I installed the MKIV in my A1200D. It worked fine. I haven't touched the amiga for a week an when i just wanted to boot it, I got a little suprise. I doesn't detect the scsi board anymore. AOS3.9 says that it can't find device scsi1230.device. Emergency bootdisk does the same. I can no longer see my scsi hd when I hold down the 2 mouse buttons.

The OS does detect 64MB of RAM (2x32 installed) And I have no strange issue when running OS3.9. I installed the board in another a1200 (spare) and got it working one time only. after a reboot it doesn't do much any more.

Is the scsi card defect or am I missing something?

Regards Roger
