Dataflyer SCSI 4000+ and A1200...

[flaviosr]

Hi,

I have just received a card as for the subject.
Before making and damage... does it work with an A1200 (in a tower)?
I have obviously an IDE cable 44 pin => 40 pin...
I think I could install the A4000 drivers...

Has anybody already done this?

 I did!

 Works OK, some glitches sometimes (maybe caused by my f#$@%ing Apollo 1240).

 Works flawlessly with with my old Microbotics M1230XA (030+FPU+128Mb RAM).

 BTW: the SCSI+ (the software for A4000) is exactly the same as the Dataflier1200 SCSI software.

Ok... the card works (I noticed that if I install the A4000 drivers the Amiga hangs!!!)
And I cannot see the IDE CD-ROM (the only one I have)!!!
I tried with the ExpSomething.device (now I cannot remember the name of the device) but nothing seen. The scsi.device hangs the Amiga...
What can I do?
HD=master
CD=slave

 You are using the CD and IDE HD after the SCSI board? You need also to install the board and add it to your s-s. Mine works OK, albeit slowly with ROM3.1.

mumble, mumble...
Yes... I have the HD AND the CD after the card! So that they are SCSI 0 (I think the HD, master) and SCSI 1.
I have installed the driver and I see the external HD!
But... how for the CDs... ((
Can paste your mountlist for the CD (CD#)?

Thank you

Using an IDE CD drive with a Dataflyer attached should be just like using an IDE CD drive without a Dataflyer attached. IE, unit 1, and the device either being atapi.device from the IDEFix package, or asim_atapi.device from AsimCDFS.

Mine worked as a SCSI controller in an A1200 with a bus board before.

It's a very crap card. Like dog-shit it's everywhere. A very old A500 design that popped up time and time again in new clothes.

 My DVD-RW is set as atapi.device unit 1 via IDEfix97. I rename the icon to CD0:, but internally it is more like "CD1:"...

 And like Alexh said, the board is an old SCSI controller without DMA, nor boot ROM. It mount SCSI devices only after the startup-sequence.

Mine has a boot ROM but I can't get it to work.
