Wayde, Would you mind posting your mountlist entry for the Syquest SQ555?
Another forum member posted his for me but somehow View! failed to KEEP it
for me or I lost it somehow.
thanks,
chris AT&G
Chris,
Please remember that I have my Syquest SQ555 drive connected to my GVP
HC-40Q hardcard and am using the GVP SCSI device driver supplied with the
card. Note that this device driver DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY RECOGNIZE A DISK
CHANGE.
With that in mind, my mountlist entry for the drive looks like:
RCD0: Device = scsidev.device
Unit = 2
Flags = 0
Reserved = 2
Buffers = 20
BufMemType = 1
Surfaces = 2
BlocksPerTrack = 32
LowCyl = 1 ; HighCyl = 1350
GlobVec = -1
StackSize = 4000
DosType = 0x444F5301
FileSystem = L:fastfilesystem
MaxTransfer = 8192
#
I also have two statements in my Startup-Sequence that say:
mount RCD0:
diskchange RCD0:

Wayde, Thanks for the information on the SQ555. I'm using that same
mountlist except for the low cylinder. Ts cartridge doesn't have a great
deal on it yet so reformatting it won't be problem. I did just receive my
IMPACT 8meg SCSI card 0pop. It has the advanced eproms that check for a
diskchange automatically. GVP uses a different mountlist. lowcyl is 1 but
hi cyl is 638 and blocks per track are 68. Guess I'm gonna use that since
it' s gonna autoconfig it. I'm not using WHAP! tonight 'cause the '030 and
it don't like each other and it has trouble uploading messages so this note
may look a bit primitive.
thanks for the help,
Chris
