Compact Flash reader on A2000 causing strange problem

[barney]

Hello everybody, I have a question about a Compact Flash reader I bought off a website called A4000t.com (Mechware).  It's actually a pretty nice reader, that works well but acts rather strangely.  The exact model of the reader is:  SCM PCD-50B SCSI Card reader.

I hooked it up to my SCSI cable, powered up my Amiga and configured it.  I notice that it works pretty good except that it does it following:  Every second, I see my CDROM and Flash reader LED's blink simultaneously, then the next second the Hard Drive and Flash Reader led's blink simultaneously.  This goes on non stop back and forth except when I play games.

Does anybody know whether this is normal and if not, how to stop it?  Thanks.

I don't think its a termination problem.  I have my CDROM on one end of the cable (terminated) and the hard drive on the other end (terminated).  The flash reader is in the middle of the chan (not terminated).  Does that sound like a correct configuration?  I haven't notified Mechware on this issue yet but I will.

Here is the Accelerator / SCSI card I am using:  GVP Impact A2000-030 Combo.

So am I fine just leaving it the way it is and allowing it to continue flashing every second?

Why does this new card reader cause my other devices on the SCSI chain to flash in sync also?  My Hard Drive and CDROM always remained calm in the past.
