- I'm trying to get SS to recognize my Mediavision Reno (El-Cheapo)
- SCSI-2 CD ROM drive. My system is an A3000, WarpEngine3040 (all
- drives are on the WarpEngine's scsi bus, using the
- warpdrive.device), PicassoII/Cybergraphics, and 16/2 meg of
- fast/chip RAM.
-
- My Amiga recognizes and talks to the CD drive just fine. But I
- can't get Shapeshifter to even acknowledge that any drives exist
- using Mac utilities like SCSIprobe, etc.
-
- The Amiga sees the drive, so I think everything is OK on the
- hardware side.
-
- On the Shapeshifter settings side of things, I have changed
- the driver from scsi.device to warpdrive.device, checked the
- LUN 6 box (the CD is on address 6), typed in 6 as the SS LUN,
- and tried most (if not all) combinations of Apple CD300 Emulation,
- Apple HD Emulation, and direct transfers.
-
- I believe I also have all of the Mac SW (incuding the PD NEC
- driver) I should ever need.
-
- But SS never sees the CD drive, and when I scan the bus with a
- utility like SCSIprobe or several others, it reports NOTHING
- for addresses 0-6 on the SCSI bus. I figure even if the
- Reno drive isn't compatible, SCSIprobe should at least see
- SOMETHING in slot 6...
-
- Anyway, I've tried my best, looked at all the FAQs, and come up
- empty. Any ideas?
-
- Also, if anyone has a similar setup that works, could you please
- email me your Shapeshifter Prefs file?
-
- Thanks!
