- Hi!
-
- I have a very strange problem:
-
- Most of the time when I enter the Boot options in the Amiga Boot menu (both
- mousebuttons at startup), the listview shows garbage.
-
- I've got two internal HDs and two external SCSI-devices and two floppy
- drives.
-
- As I said, this does not happen evry time, just most of the time. The other
- boot menus work fine (graphics, etc..)
-
- The strange this is that *if* I enter the boot menu and then try to boot,
- the system crashes (yellow screen). If I do *not* enter the boot menu, the
- system boots fine without problems.
-
- It could be a SCSI-problem because my system only works correct, if every
- SCSI-device is terminated!!!
-
- My system looks like this:
-
- inside | outside
- |
- HD1 --- HD2 --- SCSI-Controller ---|--- CD-ROM --- ZIP-Drive
- |
-
- I have tried to terminate only HD1 and the ZIP-drive but then I'm getting
- random read/errors or SCSI-hangs on the devices.
-
- What I do not know is: Do I have to change the termination of the internal
- SCSI-Controller? If so, how do I do this?
-
- Has anyone encountered a similar problem?
-
- Help!
-
- My system:
-
- A3000/030/28 12MB fast 2MB chip
- Kick3.1 (ROM)
- CyberVision
-
- 52MB-HD (internal) (Shapeshifter device disk)
- 105HD (internal) (3 AFS-partitions)
- CD-ROM (external)
- ZIP-drive (external)
-
- DD-floppy (internal)
- HD-floppy (external)
