- >:Well, I did an Icon Info on HDToolbox, changed the number of scsii's to
- >:5, and then tried to open HD tool Box. I got a message saying that the
- >:scsii information was "changed" and I should click on each scsii devcice
- >:shown to notify it of the change and then "save Changes" Which I stupidly
- >:did. Now I can't boot, EVEN FROM A FLOPPY or EVEN FROM THE EARLY BOOT
- >:OPTIONS mouse both button combo. The Hd starts up and begins to churn and
- >:then STOPS with the HD light on. Where are SCSII addresses stored? In a
- >:chip somewhere? A friend mentioned the chip marked "WDCPROTO" as the
- >:scsii controller chip? (A3000) He also mentioned removing the battery,
- >:letting it sit for awhile and returning it, apparently to erase chip
- >:memory of my scsii modified (incorrectly) addresses.
- >:ARRGH!! this is awful. How do you fix scsii addresses if you can't even
- >:boot from floppy? How do you do anything? PLEASE help.
-
- Hm, strange but I think you have a softkicked HD like me. To boot from something you
- must load the kickstart and this is stored on your HD that you can't access.
-
- Hold both mousebuttons while you switch on the power, and choose load kickstart from
- floppy. If you don't have your KS-disk you have real trouble.
-
- Then reboot and boot from an install disk and restore everything from HDToolbox.
-
- If you have KS in ROM I can't imagine what's wrong if you only changed your software.
