Gott im Himmel!

Just found out my scuzzy cable is bad! That there is worth about 2 weeks of nightmarish hair-pulling and threats of committing hari kari with a server blade! Good thing I had a spare before my new ones show up from eBay! :furious:

Good that you solved it then! Would not have been nice to see a Amiga user die by Hari kari ;)

I was three self-inflicted face punches away from doing the deed! Think I'll just play Serious Sam instead! :uzi:

Hehe :D I myself have been pulling my hair out with a bunch of problems on my A1200 so I know the feeling ^^
Serious Sam is a good game to take out some spare aggression on ;)

So, other than ways of self-immolation, is there a question or something else you need from the forum?

No, but a word of caution! If you happen to be having a LOT of trouble with your scsi chain, be it drives that won't recognize, or disappear, or correct configs that worked last night, but not the next morning, OR a steady green and red light whenever you boot up - but only sometimes, take heed: Your SCSI cable may be excessively folded or bent, or old, or both. It seems that excessive folding can cause problems. Found this on a SCSI forum:

A Single device not found
•Power supply issue with the failing device.
•The SCSI bus isn’t terminated correctly.
•Your cable (SCSI bus) is too long.
•You have a bad cable(s)
•One of your external device was started after the computer booted up.
Device manager finds the card, but not the devices connected to it.
•There is a bad cable connected to the SCSI bus.
•Termination power has failed or is incorrect
•Lose cable or cable is too long. A loose cable connection can cause intermittent problems.
SCSI system works but shows intermittent lockups.
•Cables are too long
•Incorrect, Low or noisy termination
•Bad cables
•Internal SCSI cables are folded creating a resister-capacitor.


I had all these issues, intermittently. All immediately ceased when I replaced the cable. The most perplexing thing is in these instances, even if all your settings and configs are correct, you'll be tempted to change them. Don't. Instead, replace the cable. Changing settings and configs leads to the 'dark side'.

Glad you got your problem solved..
