2Gb Jaz drive not recognized by A4000T
« on: December 14, 2017, 02:11:24 AM »
I have a 2Gb Jaz drive that works fine with my A4000 desktop, but is not recognized at
all by my A4000T.

Both have the Squirrel Zip/Jaz tools installed, and the A4000D has device name cybscsi.device and the A4000T has omniscsi.device (because I have a GVP 4008 SCSI card installed.

Anyone have any ideas what's wrong?

It's a Mediator A4000T, converted from an A4000 desktop

the SCSI ID is 4, as the Tools suggest.
I can't connect to the Internet here because it's all wi-fi,
and getting Amiga files to any of my Amigas is problematical:
I have to download it with my Mac laptop onto a USB drive,
connect the USB drive to my 19-year old (!) Powerbook and
hope it still works, and move it to a Mac floppy there, then
insert the Mac floppy in the Amiga.

I "sneaker netted" SCSIQuery to the Mediator 4000T via USB and a Mac-formatted floppy, and it told me that UNIT 4 wasn't mounted, even though Squirrel/Jaz Tools said it was (it's in WBStartup). Perhaps it was because I failed to turn on the Jaz drive before booting.

Anyway, i discovered that the SCSI card had a GuruROM with its own utilities, but it didn't find anything either except that all the HD partitions (there are 4!) have "scsi.device", so it appears they're connected to IDE header, right?
