- I did not recieve any responses last time so here it goes again.
-
- I have a A2000/040 with a Grandslam2000 controller.
- There is a Q105, a Q240 and a Connor 1080S on the GS.
-
- The problem is that i cannot delete files from the connor, the computer
- either hangs or display a "task dh2 failed" error. it is strange because
- i HAD a C540 working before and then it began to fail like this new one.
- So i sent the C540 back and upgraded to the C1080S, and this new one fails
- the same.
- I can: copy to it and read from it but not delete.
-
- I have tried: changing SCSI ID, lowered the MAX TRANSFER, changed the
- buffers, changed place on the cable, changed termination, run it alone,
- run it on a clean WB, installed older filesystems, switched of the 040.
-
- I have tried formatting with: HD-toolbox, TCUTILS 2.3 & 2.5 and HDinsttools
- that came with Tandem.
-
-
- I have even run 4 different memory tests, no memory errors.
-
- I have tried HD-toolbox, Quarterback tools, Amiback tools, Disksalv,
- and some other programs to diagnose the drive. None of them reports any
- errors on the drive.
-
- It can't be any wrong with the controller because the 2 other drives work.
- And the old Connor 540 used to work.
-
- The problems came about the same time i installed AmiFileSafe Pro, but i
- have thrown that out and installed FFS again.
-
- My last idea might be that i have a too weak powersupply.
- I have 4 HDs, 1 tape, 1 cdrom, PP&S040 w32 MB, GS2000 w 6Mb, V-LAB,
- PicassoII and a Tandem card all on a standard A2000/200W supply.
-
-
- PLEEEASE someone must have any ideas!!!!
