- Does anyone know of any compatibility problems between GVP
- SCSI A4008 board and a Cyberstorm 060 board?
-
- I've just got a 1Gig SCSI drive, which I can't prep. If
- I remove the Cyberstorm, I can prep the drive OK, and install
- Workbench. Then if I replace the Cyberstorm, it boots OK.
- However, I get checksum errors if I try to write to the drive,
- then after a few attempts, the partition seems to dissapear.
- If I try HDTools, I can reset the partitions, but nothing
- happens when I write to the drive. (Then partion info is lost).
-
- My SCSI CD-ROM seems to work fine with the board.
-
- ( The guy I bought the GVP SCSI from forgot to include the
- disk with GVP's Fast Prep, so I'm using HDToolbox, with the
- device set to gvpscsi.device [v4.13] - Maybe I'll have more luck
- with fast prep. ? )
-
-
- Also, can anyone suggets what to do about termination? I've got
- the Hard Drive, and CD-ROM; neither of these has terminating
- resitors, (and no place to put them). Obviously the cable should
- be terminated somehow. Can you get a terminator to attach to
- the cable instead, similar to what you'd use for a external
- cable ??
-
- (Ps. I don't think this has anything to do with the problem above,
- as I've used a 4" cable, with only the hard drive attached, and
- the doc's say that in this case, I should not use a terminator)
