As I said when I pointed out the JEM drives, I didn't know which ones (if any) were of the brands acceptbable for Amiga use. Hopefully that's not your problem. As well, some A600s were shipped with stupid ROMs that don't include the scsi.device/ide driver. If you have such a ROM, you'll have to upgrade it. > The HD Set-up program on the Amiga Install disk doesn't seek with > unless you have the HD of the computer. I'm afraid I really don't understand this sentence. I can figure out that you can't get your drive to be recognized, but I don't understand by what. HDSetup is just an installer script to partition a hard drive. You must know which hard drive. The Amiga IDE driver on the A600 is set up to call itself scsi.device, and your only drive should be unit 0. If you've installed the drive and cable and HDSetup doesn't find any drives, try running HDToolbox by itself. If it doesn't recognize any drives either, you may have bad jumper settings, a bad drive, or one of the problems I mentioned earlier. Good luck. dale@iam.com http://www.iam.com Intangible Assets Manufacturing
