PCI... What, no SCSI??

[slaapliedje]

Well, I'm attempting to get my SCSI drive working with the mediator.

I thought I had a 2940UW laying around, and I DID!  Found it today, grabbed my 73GB 10k Cheetah Ultra160 drive out of my old ex-server box, and hooked it up.  

Initially I couldn't get anything but HDToolbox to say "There's an unknown device" Then I found a page that suggested changing the HDToolbox icon info for using the uaehf.device, so I changed that to aic78xx.device and it found the drive, and I partitioned it.  Now the question is... how do I actually get AmigaOS to see it?  Not only that, but how would I go about making it so that I could use it as my only drive?

I'm guessing because it goes through the mediator that I'd need to do some LoadModule trickery?  Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah, I thought that's what the case was going to be.  I also tend to think there are other driver bits that initialize the Mediator (since things like the network card and the Radeon aren't detected until after installing the Mediator software).

Oh well, it's probably for the best, the 10k RPM drive is hurting my ears, and I don't have the room in the case at the moment anyhow!

Thanks for the input.  I've spent too much money in the past few months on this anyhow, eventually I'll be trying out one of these bad boys;

I'll have to find out if it shows up as two different drives or one big one, not sure.  Anyone else try this out?
