- Can someone (Dave Haynie maybe?) please explain the logic
- behind the following;
-
- My system consists of;
-
- Amiga A3000T/25MHz/2MB CHIP/16MB 60ns SCRAM/WB3.1 Picasso II/MultifaceIII/O
- ne Stop Music Shop/Sunrize AD1012
-
- Internal drives - in order along the cable from the controller;
-
- ID 0 540 Empire ID 1 LPS 525 S ID 2 540 Maverick ID 4 HP C1533
- DAT ID 3 730 Lightning [Terminated] - (I know but it is the only way I can pull
- LhA archives intact from the Toshiba)
- ID 5 Toshiba XM-3401 CD-ROM [Terminated]
-
- External drives;
-
- ID 6 External Nakamichi MBR-7 [Terminated]
-
- Machine was shipped with PROTO SCSI-04, DMAC-02, RAMSEY-04,
- BUSTER-07
-
- I have had a PP&S Mercury 68040/25MHz/4MB 60ns working fine
- for a long time,
-
- BUT:
-
- As it stands above I have problems with the DAT, I get errors
- when backing up and it cannot be trusted. Believe me I have
- been down the long, winding road of SCSI termination......
-
- I have updated to BUSTER-11 but no change.
-
- I have tried 2 different SCSI-08 chips as they seem to come
- highly recommended but they cause various problems with the
- CD-ROM and I believe the best SCSI chip is the -04 PROTO in
- this instance.
-
- If I change the DMAC and RAMSEY for -04/-07 respectively the
- DAT is 100% but I get screen corruption with the Mercury installed. If
- I take the Mercury out, no screen corruption, DAT OK but no
- 68040! :-(
-
- To recap;
-
- SCSI-04 DMAC-02 RAMSEY-04 BUSTER-09 - Problems with the DAT BUSTER
- -11 - No change RAMSEY -07 DMAC-04
- - DAT OK but now screen corruption, why? SCSI-08
- - Lots of problems
-
- It seems like I have a choice;
-
- Either leave the new chips in, take the '040 out and have
- a working DAT..... Or leave the old chips in, have 68040 power
- and no DAT.....
-
- Not much of a choice when you want a 68040 and a DAT is it?
- :-(
-
- Any ideas?
-
- Thanks...
