"Well, after months of using it on the IBM I finally tried to use the 21MB floptical drive on my Amiga. I've got a 2000 with a 68020 accelerator and a 2091 interface card. There's a Seagate 177N as the primary drive on the card. Oh, I'm running 2.04 at the moment. Anyhow, HDToolbox recognizes the Floptical as Device 4 on Unit 0 (the Seagate is 0 on 0). It can read its properties OK. But when I tell it to do a low level format the lights for both the drives (Seagate and Floptical) come on and nothing happens. At least it doesn't wipe the Seagate. Oh, once I've done that I have to remove the power from the Floptical to get the system to boot." Well lets go through some of the basics first. Is your Floptical on the internal SCSI bus or external? If it's external, and the last drive on the bus, is it terminated properly? If it's internal and shares a SCSI cable with the Seagate, did you remember to remove the termination from the Seagate and then terminate the Floptical?
