CompuServe Messages

Hmm… I have a generic SCSI formatter, and it returns an error message that says "controllers not found"…whatever that means. I think if I could get that to work, the drive would be fine (other people use it that way with no problem). The problem seems to be the whole idea of the Amiga talking to the drive in the first place. When I try to access it, it goes into some kind of loop and locks up the A2090… stops my HD from working too. Some kind of communication problem seems to me. What were you referring to when you said it might need an "auxiliary drive" to map out bad sectors? + Phil + PS: The other thing the drive does, using Quarterback (which assumably uses its own formatting) is get a requester that tells me the drive has write errors. Interestingly enough, when I first used it with QB, everything was just zooming along until it tried to finish backup up the last file (I just backed up 800k), whereupon it gave me a "write error" requester. From then on, every time I try to use the drive with QB, it immediately tells me there is a write error on the drive.
