- I've just installed a Squirrel SCSI box to a A1200, and had a lot of
- trouble doing it. I have a Quantum 540 MB SCSI hardrive mounted in an
- external SCSI case, which worked fine for months with my A3000. At first,
- the Squirrel would not recognize it at all, even thought it was properly
- terminated. Finally, I opened up the A1200 to make sure the connector was
- seating properly, and found out that the Squirrel WILL work, but only if I
- push the connector in REAL HARD, and wiggle it around at the same time.
- The manual cautions not to do this, because the connector is fragile, but
- it's the only way to get the Squirrel to work.
- Anybody else having this problem? It's the version 1.12.
- I have to disconnect the Squirrel quite often to take the computer to
- my User Group meetings, and I don't think it's going to last very long if
- I have to use that much pressure to get it to make contact.
- Anybody using one in a 1200 that just plugs right in with little
- pressure, and works everytime??
- Or should I exchange it for the Dataflyer 1200+ ??
