A weird turn in this event. Let me explain, though it doesn't make much sense ...
Lemkee thought it might be that my BlizzPPC needs to be reflashed in order to see the Powerflyer. Could have been and still can be. To make sure it was the BlizzPPC his fault I removed the turbocard and mounted the slightly slower Blizzard 1230/4, the one that has a problem with the Zorro4 and Z4 Powerflyer. Result, still no cdrewriter at the scsi.device. I used the same boot-harddisc which was an old 237 Mb Quantum harddisc with the most simple OS 3.1 and AsimCDFS V3.x. AsimCDFS is a great program that almost never has let me down, so I can't put any blame on this program which I had bought legal in the days of my A500+. So, the computer in Micronik tower boots up with the 1230/4 using a hd connected to 1230scsi.device and when in workbench I use ScsiEnquire to check what is connected to scsi.device. When I run this program it shows all my devices that may be of any use, but it only showed the 1230scsi.device, just like it showed BlizzPPC.device when the PPC was connected. In other words, maybe the PPC needs to be reflashed but the 1230 had the same problem. I tried not to give up and decided to disconnect the ide cdrewriter and connect an ide harddisc instead. Normally I took an unformatted (pc format) harddisc but this time I took the spare IBM DALA 512 Mb harddisc that came with the tower, not very big, meant to backup the running OS, but most important it was formatted in Amiga OS. I connected that hd to port 1 device1 (or zero) and rebooted again with two mouse buttons pressed to see if the early startup menu could 'see' any hd connected to scsi.device. To my impressive surprise it did 'SEE' the IBM DALA hd !!! When in Workbench a few seconds later the icon was also there. I turned it all off and connected the cdrewriter again, this time as slave and rebooted again. Result : IBM DALA was still there but no cdrewriter. Suddenly it came to me :
ofcourse it won't see any cdrom or cdrewriter, Amiga OS 3.1 standard never sees it, you need IDEfix library to make it see or OS 3.9, but to install OS 3.9 you need cd support .... damn :-o I was speechless .. should have known this a long time before ...
