Re: SupraDrive autobooting

I recently got a hold of a 20MB SCSI SupraDrive and interface.  I installed everything and it works fine, however I am unable to autoboot to the harddrive.  I can boot using the SupraBoot disc, but I cannot automatically boot to the drive when I power the computer (A500).  I have KS 1.3 on my system.  The SupraDrive manual states something about removing an autoboot rom from the drive but has no pictures of any kind and even refers to an additional manual which I don't have. I did remove the largest chip on the board with the same results.  Also, I have read another post that talks about jumpers and dip switches.  This SCSI controller contains neither.  Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks


20 years ago I had an A500 with Supradrive (XP?) and it had dip switches on the back side, and one was to enable/disable autoboot.

You have to make sure that at least one of the partitions is marked bootable (what was the WB 1.3 HDToolBox called again?) and that its boot priority is higher than the DF0: floppy.
