A1200 and weird HD problem
« on: June 04, 2003, 12:35:36 PM »
I started to build my project Amiga and ran into weird problem with the hard disk.

The Amiga is an A1200 with BlizzPPC + BlizzVision. The problem with HD is that it disappears after power-up. I can boot the machine, then browse few dirs and then it hangs. When I reset the machine and look in bootmenu, the HD has disappeared from the list and only thing on the list is DF0.

The disk is IBM travelstar 20GB and I  am patching the ROM to recognize it correctly.

I don't think it's a power issue, I have so called Bigfoot PSU which is originally a PC PSU and then converted to for Amiga.

I've checked that the Blizzards do not contact the mobo, so it shouldn't be that either.

If you some ideas what could be the cause for this, tell me.
Before you judge me take a look at you....

Yea, I'm aware of the heat problem, but I think I can get it fixed with heatsinks and fans. Friend of mine had a similar setup.

Ok, I gotta look in the power, if the problem lies there.
