Is the warpdrive.device loaded after boot? Is there some way you can boot from another volume and run a tool to show you that?

warpdrive.device is in the flash of the card, AFAIK. I never installed anything from any floppy to get it to work. But... I do have red termination thingies on the board as shown on the photo's on amiga.resource.cx.

It might be strange issue with the U160 drive (are you using a convertor for that?) combined with the CDROM?

What happens if you take the harddrive off and only use the CDROM?

Also, I installed the disk using the regular HDToolBox, going into the properties and setting DEVICE=warpdrive.device as tooltype.

Just delete all the garbage that the disk install put onto your system, I've not needed them - works great without it.

Then, try booting without anything attached and have a look what your warpdrive.device version is. I have the 4040 in my A4000D - will check in a few hours to see what version comes up.

I've just checked and my system (see sig) reports warpdrive.device version 40.66. No drivers installed or anything WarpEngine related in the DEVS: folder so this must come from the ROM on the card.

I don't know if the ROM is upgradable - maybe you can look into that.

Maybe test some more with "older" SCSI gear, a real 50pin drive or something and play around with other termination solutions would be the best advice I can offer - sorry.
