Hank,
Basically I never really have had a conflict between the WarpEngine's SCSI and
the Flyer's SCSI, although that is what the technician at HT Electronics
thought when I described the problem to him. When I first received my A4000
back from HT Electronics with the Flyer card installed, I hooked up my
Micropolis 4110 external SCSI HD to the WarpEngine's SCSI port, turned on the
Micropolis, and attempted to boot the A4000. The yellow internal IDE HD light
on the A4000 burned steadily, but nothing further happened. The system simply
refused to boot. I removed the Micropolis from the WarpEngine's SCSI port, and
the A4000 booted fine. Eventually I found that the problem could be resolved
simply by turning on the Micropolis external SCSI HD simultaneously with
booting the A4000, i.e. turning on everything simultaneously from the master
switch of the Tripp Lite command console that I have everything plugged into.
The system has booted up fine and run O.K. ever since with no sign of a SCSI
conflict.
Tom
P.S. I have a Toshiba 3401 SCSI CDROM also in the WarpEngine's SCSI port hooked
in series to the Micropolis HD and it works fine. I just plug in a CD and it
shows up as an icon on WB.
