jaz drive help
« on: May 22, 2010, 05:46:14 AM »
thanks to all ..the advise has been way helpful ..i just got a internal jaz drive with
a pc disk ..i used scsi mounter to mount it (ide fix) ..the drive comes up
but it asks for the device name..obviously to put in devs drivers ..i have currentley  one 2 gig harddrive ,one dvd ,one cdrom(soon to be a writer i think)
what do i name it ? or is there specific install disks for this device?
i never used a jaz drive before ..bit lost ..
also got a external orb drive (cant find any discs yet ) it is scsi 2 i think when i get an adaptor to connect to the main scsi box can i terminate on the end of the orb drive instead of the scsi box? will it still work ok with a adaptor between the scsi1 an scsi 2 ??..
PS..is it possible to microcosm to work on a 1200 without the akiko chip? i get error message internal hardware error ..
A500 3.1/8meg/2gigscsi ...wants a 040
CD32/SX1/FMV/FLASHDRIVE/  wants sx32pro
A1200  os3.5 030/50/fpu/mmu/2flashdrives/cd/   indivision coming ..............wants a ppc/060  ACCEL :laughing:

squirrel scsi or ide fix ..

ok..did a search online found jaz tools ..which found the drive an asked me if i wanted to format the disk ..yah !! ..or so i thought ..apparantley its a,protected  disk ..(should be protected from me after 3 days playin with this thing) a utility comes up to unprotect or format etc..but its shaded out ..cant select anything ..
1: can it be termination ? seems unlikley
2: how do u protect unprotect a disk?
3: should i just get another jaz disk from somewhere ? a blank might work?
this is a project so doing for fun ..still wanna add a ls120 floppy an orb external yet ..plus a scsi zip drive if i can find one ..call it madness ..
