- A friend has an Amiga 500 and GVP Impact Series SCSI controller with
- 2MB of RAM. He bought a 340MB Maxtor SCSI-hard disk but it won't start
- spinning at all.
-
- The harddisk works in a A590 controller and another hard disk works in
- the GVP controller, except for that it prompts for somekind of a
- password which hasn't ever been defined!
-
- What could the problem be? Maybe the Maxtor needs more power when
- started up and the power supply of the controller is broken or not
- powerful enough?
- The problem isn't the cable inside the controller, it has been tested
- with a cable that works.
-
-
- Thanks in advance! Please email me if possible.
