A3000 SCSI needs battery?

[TheGoose]

I'm having some issues but think I found out why:

"The built in SCSI host adapter - based around the Western Digital 33C93 SCSI controller - supports up to seven devices connected simultaneously. The controller's configuration is stored in a NVRAM powered by the same battery which the clock is."

I pulled my battery, it was in bad shape. Computer is still running but HD is not working well, checksum errors all over. Sooo, I need to get a battery to make everything happy again, yes?

Also, thinking about getting bigger, better, newer drive anyways. What will work? SCSI, SCSI-II? 7200 RPM?


Thnaks again to the A-org brain trust...

Ok, checksums aside, storing the SCSI ID does seem a little important.

Thanks

That's what I think...no battery is preferable. Say, it goes to 7, you mean the the controller? What is it with the battery? Sorry, I don't know a lot about Amiga onboard SCSI.

Mostly use my A1200.
