- Hi Jim,
-
- Myself and two others have been having similar problems and so far though
- the list of us (you now being added) is growing, no solutions have been offered.
-
- My problem also involves the amiga 'freezing' during routine formats of
- my Emplant SCSI-connected 850 meg hard drive. I have resolved it only
- by resorting to an old A2091 that I have. I doubt strongly that your
- problem has to do with your drives max transfer values etc., that info
- was successfully read off my drive and has stayed the same now that it
- is connected to the A2091. I can tell you the following for sure.
-
- The problem is indifferent to Buster revisons (I have an 09, others an 11)
-
- The problem tends to be lessened or go away entirely when the Drive is used
- exclusively for the Mac (you'll need a SCSI prep program like Silverlining
- if you go this route). But the Amiga loses access to the drive, obviously.
-
- My Emplant connected CD-ROM functions fine on *both* sides of my system
- (though not simultaneausly- CD0 cannot be mounted if the Emulation is to
- use the drive).
-
- And finally, you are the first person I've noted to experience the problem
- who is *not* using a Quantum SCSI drive.
-
- This last may offer you some hope.
-
- Let us know if you find anything. And you can search the group for
- 'Emplant SCSI woes...' for my original post.
-
- good luck
-
- martin.
