CyberStorm MKII on A3000(D)

[Junkie]

My A3000(D) has Super Buster 11 and WDC SCSI chip rev 8 on it. I just got an CyberStorm MKII '060 with 64 Megs ram, the card does not have the SCSI module for it. When I install it in my machine the on-board SCSI quits working , I can boot from a floppy but my machine does not see any SCSI devices at all. The int_2 hack has been done and that did not help. I have the old DMAC '02 and RAMSEY '04 chips.
Anyone come across this before , if so how did you fix it ?

What is your A3000 motherboard revision?
Do you have 3.1 rom chips?
Have you tried removing the memory from the A3000 motherboard (everything but chip ram) and only using the CSMK-II installed memory?

I have a rev 9 motherboard with the 3.1 roms. No I have not tried removing my motherboard fast ram.

Save it as a last ditch effort as removing the ram is quite difficult, especially if you've got full 16MBs.

BTW, do you have the CyberSCSI module attached to MK-II by any chance? Just checking, as some A3000D users with setups like yours leave their cases open so that CyberSCSI could be attached to MK-II. Anyway, if you are using CyberSCSI, then perhaps it is the reason for the native SCSI problems, as the two may be conflicting.

If you only have a bare MK-II card, another thing to try would be to modify the native SCSI controller's settings through SetBat utility (available on Aminet) and see if you get a combination of settings that tolerate your accelerator.

A3000's SCSI controller can be a pain to work with sometimes.

Some MKIIs have a DMA bug.  Remove the RAM on the MKII and see if that helps.

Thank You !! It works without the ram in the accelerator. I wonder if I pulled the fastram on the motherboard and put the ram back in the accelerator if it would work? :-D
