Just bought 2940UW but it can't find my Quantum ProDrive LPS 50MB SCSI, stuck in Scanning SCSI ID after pressing Ctrl+A :(


Finding working SCSI disk for amiga can be a painfull experience,

You really should buy that amigakit SD2SCSI adapter, if you want to get something wich has some future.

I have "endless" source of used scsi disks because of my job and I can say that anything wich is even remotely modern will not work with old amiga scsi controllers.

You will end up to have some 5-10 scsi disks wich don't work with your amiga. You should look something wich has 4gb max capasity and 50 pin connector. Most of them are alreday broken when you get them.
