- I have connected my hard drive and my AD Ide Controller to my Amiga 500..
- However I have encountered two problems...
-
- 1) I can not format, partition, or prepare the Hard Drive with the
- software it comes with because it seemingly does not recognize it and it
- seems to be software for an SCSI drive.. Can someone tell me where I can
- possibly find a new program to get my HD running?
-
- 2) I also can only get 1 external disk drive to work on my 500? I have two
- externals, and the HD on the inside in place of df0: However the computer
- only recognizes df1: and my other drive is not even working or being
- recognized by the operating system? Is it because of too much power to
- handle for the power supply? or is it the 2.04 operating system or possibly
- the controller?
-
- Thanks for reading.. I hope someone can help me figure out this dilemma...
