#HARD DRIVE HELP
I need help getting a SCSI hard drive to work with my system.
Description of my system: Amiga 500, Standard 512K Agnus, A501 chip,
additional 2 megs on Supra 500xp 40 meg hard drive, CSA Mega Midget 68030,
68882, MMU, with 512K 32 Bit SRAM. Workbench 2.0.
I am trying to daisy chain a Hard drive that came out of a stock MAC IIci. It
is a Quantum Pro Drive 80S (80 megs). It is in its own cabinet with power
supply and controller. I have a straight through cord with all 25 pins, which
is what I was told I needed.
When I hook it up my A500 will not boot. The screen stays white and both drive
lights on both drives light up. I have tried changing the ID number of the
Quantum drive. Even when just the cord is hooked up, nothing happens.
I talked to a dealer (at home, he is out of business) and said that I needed to
make sure that the termination is off on the Supra and on on the Quantum. I
can't find imformation in the Supra manual about termination. He also said
that there is not a high degree of success rate in hooking up extra drives.
I haven't done anything to my startup sequence, but I figure that is not my
problem… maybe I'm wrong.
I would appreciate any detailed "step by step" help if available. Thanks.
