#A3000/Syquest problems
Donavan,
I came in a little late to this thread, but I think that you have the
smae problem that I had when I tried to hook up a Mirror (mac) external
syquest drive. It worked a few times using the external connector and then
it randomly stopped working. So, I tried hooking it up to the internal
connector and it worked. (I think this is the same as your setup now) So I
called Commodore and although they wouldn't fix the SCSI problem because it
was a 3rd party drive, I got my motherboard replaced for parallel problems.
(Again similar to your situation) Anyway, as it turns out, there is some
sort of error in the system software that renders the external SCSI port
useless. It is a random bug and they don't know exactly how it works. So
they told me to wait for the chip upgrade, and that's where I am now… I
have yet to get the new ROMS… I've lost $500 if these new chips don't
work… Maybe I should just get a mac (Maybe NOT! 🙂 )
