Is the bootmenu bugged ? Scuzzy Fuzzy Dizziness
« on: March 28, 2003, 11:02:15 AM »
.. Or is it me ?

I only have one Zorro board in this A4K (Moe is her name) and the bootmenu (both mouse buttons @ startup), when I click on "Expansion Board Diagnostic", lists me two !

'Board #' 'Manuf.' 'Product' 'Status'
'1' '2017' '11' 'Working'
'2' '2017' '10' 'Working'

Weird, huh ? I *do* have a Board, a GVP HC+8 Ser. II Rev. II, I suppose it's this one, but why two ? Why the numbers 11 & 10 ?

It may have something to do  8-)  with the problems I'm experiencing with this Scuzzy chain. Namely, I cannot get HDToolBox (the 3.9 version) to even consider my Seagate ST HAWK
 and I'm quite used to fiddle w/ Scuzzy LUNs and  chain terminations. Just any combination have been tried.... Oh, and the disk *is* working, It comes from a SCO server who used it not very long, it was operating when I removed it.

The rest of the chain is fine, thanks, the Conner 500 Mg HD and the TEAC X16 CD-Rom work almost flawlessly, wether the chain is terminated (a jumper on the Teac) or NOT !  :-o  :-?  :-o

But what the heck with HDT ? Does it have to do with the fact that I did not install the BBags 1&2 yet ?
What does it mean "this type of drive cannot be handled by HDT", should I hunt for a 3rd-party driver ?
For a *hard drive* ? Or does it just mean that my SCSI chain sucks and it won't look at it until it's proper ? I'd rather that much better.

Please help me understand ! And finally *close* the 4000 case, opened since the ROM switch :-[ And I have *another* SCSI drive to add, not to mention the  (well, possible) external chain !

OK, that makes sense.

The two units in one is a logical enough explaination for the bootmenu.

But what the HELL about HDT *refusing* to handle my Seagate drive ?? Huh ?

Another quick one : What is "mounter" for ? After scanning "devices", It currently lists me 7 units from 0 to 6, *all* identical exept for the ID # :
Type Media Status
0 Fixed Not Ready

All other collumns (product, rev. size) are empty.

If it's a SCSI listing utility, why does'nt it seen even the boot HD ?? And the CDR ?:-?  :-o  :-?

Thank you 4 your help
