AT-BB/Elite i/o
Just received Elite's SVGA/multi i/o board yesterday and am trying to get
it going with my AT-BB.
Have the color-80 video coming from the card just fine. Mono still goes
to the Amiga – do I have to remove the monochrome jumper from the AT-BB
and leave it disconnected for the mono mode to go to the SVGA board?
Right now I have the floppies coming from the AT-BB. They also work
coming from the i/o board, unless I remove PCDisk from the user-startup
file.
My problem is getting the HD controller working! With the IDE controller
jumper open, I get the message "1782-Disk Controller Failure", then the
versions of the janus handler/library, and everything seems to stop
there.
Put the jumper back in, and I can boot up just fine using a boot floppy in
A: (The ABoot stuff was eliminated, so it was just like starting up a
fresh AT-BB).
But I can't do anything with the HD (like format it) – get the message
"Invalid drive specification"
Drive is a Quantum ProDrive ELS 170 MByte, 1011 cylinders, 15 heads, 22
sectors. I am using Janus 2.0 (handler 2.63, library 33.1) (what came
with the AT-BB) The closest thing I can select for Hard Disk 1 is type 9
(900 cylinders, 15 heads, 17 sectors 112 MB), but still can't get it to
go.
So what is the problem? Would upgrading to Janus 2.1 solve this problem,
or am I just up the creek with this combo on the AT-BB???
