Question about SCSI jumpers and HDD capacity

[QuikSanz]

@RiP,

After reading thru you may be best served with an accelerator w/SCSI2. Grab a drive from flea-bay and be on your way.

No, I want to connect amiga hard disk to PC using 2940uw to backup data via Winuae.

No, I want to connect amiga hard disk to PC using 2940uw to backup data via Winuae.

I have a SCSI card in my win7 machine for that.

[RiP]

But 2940uw doesn't detect hard disk in Ctrl+A menu.

But 2940uw doesn't detect hard disk in Ctrl+A menu.

Still don't understand what you mean by "Ctrl+A menu". What software?

+1 for SCSI2SD or one of the myriad CF solutions. If you're worried about backing up using WinUAE, just get a CF card reader for your PC.

[RiP]

I select SCSI Disk Utilities then Internal but it doesn't find my hard disk and stuck while detecting.
I don't know much about SCSI stuffs, should I set something? :confused:

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Omg. Are you trying to prep the drive on a PC and then transfer it to an Amiga? Why are you making this so hard on yourself?

[RiP]

I have heard it's possible to copy data on amiga's hard disk via Winuae and I want to check SCSI hard disks with HDTune for bad sectors and SMART data.

[RiP]

Finally made it to work, maybe bad cable or not installed well in the port.
Now all I need is to know how to make it to work with Winuae =/

It is, I have done this myself a few times. You need to tell WinUAE, via a setting in the harddrive options, if I remember correctly.
Then it shuld be possible to find the harddrive on the amiga/uae side using toolbox and then mount and format the drive with the proper file system..

[RiP]

Just found a working Seagate SCSI 2GB HDD and prepared it well.
But when I use 2 HDDs, it doesn't detect one of them :confused:
I set first HDD as ID0 and the second as ID1 but don't know what's wrong

Would you explain more? and what file system, FFS?

( The new HDD makes sound like the jet engine at startup :lol: )

Finally found what was the issue, onboard/integrated terminator on device :hammer:
