Maxtor Problems
I believe MASK is a number which MUST be at a certain value for each of the
different file systems the Amiga has. Good luck. I hope it turns out to be the
old style SCSI chip in your A3000 and you can replace it. I was quite
surprised the first time I saw an early A3000 SCSI chip with BETA written right
on it! But the SCSI drivers are written to compensate for it as much as
possible – perhaps this is a case where it just kills your throughput to have
the older chip.
