- First off, did you change the Drive type to recognise the Bournoulli? Then
- save the changes before trying a low-level format?
-
- >I partition the drive and save changes to it. It seems to work.
-
- Is the disk named properly? I think it's PC0: but better check the manual
- for the correct designation.
-
- >I reboot. Does the disk mount? Noooooo...
-
- See above.

- Why use the SCSI address 3? Why not SCSI 1, unless there are other devices
- that you did not mention.
-
- >Any ideas?
-
- I work at a flight simulator which has Amigas w/Bournoulli's attached to a
- GVP SCSI controller. When I start my shift on Friday, I'll take a look at
- how it is setup and get back to you with some more concrete info.
