- Hi everyone!
-
- I recently bought a 2nd hand Apple CD300 (Sony CD800U3, i think it's labeled)
- and I linked it via an external SCSI cable, being in a self-powered case
- (the A3000 can't provide so much energy :) ... my problem is with HDToolBox.
-
- The actual SCSI Chain is: 0 - internal seagate 250mb
- 2 - internal maxtor 200mb
- 4 - external CDRom
- 1 - external quantum 52mb (in the same external
- case of cdrom's)
-
- Well, when I powered on everythink worked and this was a great success :)
- after booting, I loaded HDToolBox and I saw it tells me there's an "Unknown"
- device in address 4. Someone told me it was normal and I went on. I saved the
- situation, and booted again, but then the A3000 got stuck, with the led light
- flashing every 4 seconds or so. I switched off, unlinked the cdrom, and
- re-saved hdtoolbox's situation without cdrom. after having connected again
- the external case, everything worked again.
-
- Thus, I need to keep the situation as is, with an internal HD labeled as
- "Changed" in HDToolBox. This situation isn't so unhandy; what I complain for
- is my unability to make CDRom boot, because it won't be recognized before
- the WB mounts it (I use AmiCDROM), therefore some time after the boottime.
-
- Any suggestion?
-
- I heard about SCSIMounter, and i'm going to download it from aminet this same
- day. Maybe i'll fix everything but I await some reply anyway :)
-
- thanks in advance.
