#DataFlyer SCSI+ & BE0?

Hi all! I recently became a proud owner of a used A1200 with a 120 meg HD. It also has a GVP RAM/Accelerator (4 megs) and a DataFlyer SCSI+ interface (I just bought that 4 days ago). My question is about the SCSI interface. I want to hook up my Bernoulli 230 drive to the DataFlyer SCSI+ ,but the BE0 is only written for the "The Box 150" model. this is what it looks like: * Bernoulli The Box 150(tm) Sample DOSDrivers Mountlist * ********************************************************/ Device = ExpXDS.device Unit = 4 Flags = 0 Surfaces = 1 BlocksPerTrack = 32 Reserved = 2 Blocksize = 512 Buffers = 32 BufMemType = 0 LowCyl = 2 HighCyl = 9215 Mount = 1 StackSize = 4000 GlobVec = -1 DosType = 0x444f5301 # According to the instructions, I can make some changes in this but I don't know how to set it up for it to work for the Bernoulli 230. Anybody can help me out here? Thanks. Danny

Have you tried starting > HDToolbox DEVICE=ExpXDS.device from a CLI and then clicking on "Read configuration from device" in the Change Drive Type / Define New Drive menu? This should give you the number of tracks/sectors etc. of the drive. Georg

No, but I'm going to try it. I finally got it to go on the MutiDisk 150 drive. I'll let you know how it works as soon as I put it on the A1200 (the 230 drive is on my A3000 for the moment). >This should give you the number of tracks/sectors etc. of the drive. I hope so. Thanks.

Well, I tried it, and it didn't work. Also, it seems that the HD-Prep program supplied on the DataFlyer instalation disk can't find the Bernoulli (but when I use the SCSI-Inquire program that came with the AsimCDFS, it shows that it's there).
