- Hello!
-
- I've got a problem with my SCSI-CD-ROM-Drive. It's a Sanyo CRD 4-speed-drive
- placed in an external SCSI-Tower. In my A2000 works an
- Evolution-SCSI2-Controller by Off Limits (formerly produced by Macro
- Systems) with the actual ROM which - as Off Limits told me- supports
- CD-ROM drives.
-
- But it doesn't work!
-
- I tried several configurations: (The CD-ROM-drive is terminated.)
-
- a) If the ID of the CD-ROM-drive is greater than that of my internal
- Quantum LPS52 harddisc (ID 0), the computer boots without to scan
- any higher IDs than that of the harddisc.
- As I thought of wrong termination I even took off the terminators
- from the controller instead that from the harddisc, but I think the other
- way round is all right. In addition it behaved just the same way.
-
- b) If the ID of the CD-ROM-drive is lower than that of the internal
- harddisc the controller states 'Error' while scanning the ID of the
- CD-ROM-drive. If I put in a CD before booting the controller states
- nothing but stops working while scanning the ID.
-
- c) I took the harddisk out of my computer and connected the
- CD-ROM internal to the controller (with ID 0). But nothing changed
- to a) and b).
-
- d) I checked the TEMP POWER Signal, which is set by the CD-ROM-drive but
- not by the controller. Is this all right?
-
- e) I connected the SCSI-Tower with the CD-ROM-drive to a NeXT-Station and
- it works fine. Plug & Play! In addition I tried another SCSI-cable
- but without success. Seems that SCSI-Tower and cable do work.
-
- f) At last I put the harddisk into the SCSI-Tower and the CD-ROM-drive
- into my computer. But it was all the same to a).
-
- Does anybody have any idea what I can do to get it working or
- does anybody use an Evolution (or MultiEvolution) controller with
- the Sanyo CRD quad-speed-drive?
-
- If there is no solution to my problem, I would like to know, which
- SCSI-controllers works with my CD-ROM-drive.
-
- Please help me!
-
- Much thanks in advance, Benedikt.
