#Hurricane'030 board
5 messages in this thread
Could someone who has used a Hurricane 2800 accelerator board help me. I am
tryying to use the SCSI controller that is built in with my Connor CP340.
The drive works just fine with my HardFrame but won t won't work with the
Hurricane. I can't even get it to work with the HardFrame and the Hurricane
with the Hurricane disabled and the mask changed so as not to use 32-bit
memory for the hard drive.
Kevin,
I don't know what you are doing, but be sure that you mount your
drive and do any BindDrivers or AddBuffers BEFORE running HurricaneConfig
or AddMem32. Your hard drive mountlist should have Mask = 0x0FFFFF. As an
alternative you can try Mask = 0xFFFFFF and do AddMem 1600000 16FFFFF. This
latter will map the Hurricane memory outside the 68000's address space.
However, AmigaBasic will not work in this case. If this doesn't work, then
you might try running your hard drive off the Hurricane's SCSI controller
(I believe the 2800 has the built-in SCSI, doesn't it?)
Yes it does have a built in SCSI controller. That's the problem. I can't
get that to work either.I tried pulling the SCSI boot EPROM and using the
HardFrame with the mask but it didn't work. Thanks.
Kevin,
The HardFrame is a DMA host adapter, and you need a non-DMA design host
adapter in order to use the Imtronics Hurricane accelerator. ICD's AdSCSI
and the Trumpcard Professional will work. The ICD is faster and cheaper, in
my opinion.

Thanks but the built in controller should work. I don't think I need anoter
controller though. Thanks for the reply.
