Glenn,
I'm trying to adapt a SASI drive to the SCSI bus…so I have some
other problems. This particular drive doesn't like the reset line held low,
so binddrivers would hang…thus I couldn't do anything with RES2: until I
removed line 40 from the cable.
Once I did that, the drive reset on boot up just fine, binddrivers
worked just fine and RES2: showed up just fine…except it won't PREP or
FORMAT because of some slight incompatabilities between SASI and SCSI.
I may have to write a low level format program myself to take care of
the problem…if it can be done that is.
Oh…after trying FORMAT or PREP RES2:, (or the associated DH2:) I
would get the NOT A DOS DISK requester.
Don
