_4~?~?~?~RE: HardFrame2000
I have an A2000, Rev 4.4 M/B. I have an HF2000, Rev 1.9 ROM, with a Quantum
M{?~?~?~?~LPs 105S as Device 0. I want to put a seagate ST296N 80.9MB SCSI drive in the
system. It is set for device 1. I have a few problems. #1) the drive won't
automount. I followed the directions TO A T REPEATEDLY! BTW, this appears to
Ff~?~?~?~?NOT be a 295N with the ROM bug. RDPrep from the WB finds the drives searching
for them (I don't have to do RDprep -U1 from the CLI).I Partition, write RDB,
etc….just like the DOC's says. when I reboot, and try to format it from the
CLI, AmigaDOS reports drive not found. I repeated the RDB SEVERAL times,
with the instructions with me, and followed them EXACTLY about 5 times.
(yes…I did a Low-Level format). After giving up on automount, I used the
OS Mount command. now, it appears that the Seagate does not come on-line fast
enough, and, when I power-on the A2000, I have to warm boot AFTER it boots.
the WB shows the Seagate as DH1:???? , after a warm boot <ctrl – A – A>,
the Seagate shows up fine. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or, is
there a way to make the mount command wait a little longer? could that be why
the HardFrame2000 can't automount it? because the drive isn't ready? on my
HF2000, on the jumper block, ALL jumpers are set except the very top one
(LED) and the very bottom one (came to me like that). I saw in the manual
something about a jumper selecting 30 seconds, or 5 seconds, but, all the
jumpers are set. The manual says that the very bottom 2 jumpers aren't used,
so I didn't think the bottom jumper has anything to do with it! Also, on the
Q LPS105S, I couldn't find the Resistor Packs. Can anyone tell me where they
are??? Thanks for your time!
