PowerFlyer and BlizzardPPC SCSI
« on: December 01, 2004, 01:36:25 AM »
I recently bought a BlizzardPPC with SCSI and I want to add a SCSI disk to my miggy... But I don't know how to configure the scsi to "see" a disk more than 4Gigs . I installed the Cyberscsi software and the scsiconfig program its says that I cannot see more than 4GB disks except if I patch FFS with the included TD64 patch. Because I also have 2x6.5GB disks in the PowerFlyer I'm afraid to do something like that.Is it safe, or how can I have both SCSI >4GB via blizzscsi and IDE >4GB via PowerFlyer?

I wouldn use the TD64 Patch if you have OS 3.5/3.9
Just edit the file NSDpatch.cfg in DEVS. Go to the entry for blizzppc.device and remove the # After a reset your next barrier will be in the TB region ;-)
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

@ Lemmink

Actually I looked at my NSD.config and it doesn't has an #, it looks like this:

# Phase 5 PowerPC boards
DEVICE cybppc.device DEVICETYPE NSDEVTYPE_TRACKDISK COMMANDS 1-15,20-23,28 TD64
DEVICE blizzppc.device DEVICETYPE NSDEVTYPE_TRACKDISK COMMANDS 1-15,20-23,28 TD64

any thoughts ?

So the blizzppc.device should be accessible through the HDToolbox. Forget the P5 tools, they don't conform totally to the standards and may cause problems.
