As I posted to Don, I think the problem is in the cable. I have
ordered a new one and will wait and see.
I have 2 internal drives that work perfectly until the cable is plugged
in to the external port on the 2091 card. It doesn't matter if the other
end of that cable is plugged in to the external box or not. The result is
always the same – in that, the act of plugging in the cable with bring
down my internal drives.
I have been able it plug my new drive on to an internal cable (had to
take one of the other drive off) and format the drive. Unfortunately it
is a 380 meg Full Height drive that will no way fit permanately inside the
Amiga's drive bays. But I had it there for a while and set it all up. My
drive address numbers are #1 -DH0:(Workbench) 40meg & bootable,
#6 -DH1: & DH2: 150meg in two partitions both not bootable, and the new
drive will be addressed at #2 -DH3: & DH4: 316meg (Formated) in two
partitions and both not bootable.
Thanks for jumping in, I'm in a wait and hold pattern til the new
cable comes in. And if that don't work, then I don't know what the next
step will be.
