- Have you tested the Fastlane in your A3000 with just a normal SCSI2 Fast
- hard drive? Only the later versions of the Fastlane would work correctly
- with A3000. Are you using the Z3DMAControl utility and trying to force
- BUSTER11 mode? (Do you have a Buster rev 11?)
-
- What about UnitControl? Does the Pinnacle support synchronous (I assume
- so) and if so does UnitControl show that it is coming up in Synchronous
- mode? What about the Period and Offset values in UnitControl? (They are
- called something different but they are the two sliders in the top of the
- UnitControl GUI.)
-
- For that matter, why use a Fastlane? The A3000 native SCSI can do better
- than 2MB/sec in asynchronous and that is more than plenty for a single
- speed CDROM writer.
-
- What hard drive are you using for storage of your ISO9660 image?

- If you connect to the native A3000 controller can you use it as a CDROM
- reader?
