- We have an Amiga 1000 ("New To Us" :-) ), with 2.5 meg of memory (mostly
- in a MAXImega box), and a Xebec SCSI controller and 20 meg SCSI drive.
-
- The Xebec software is 1.2, (and won't format FFS), but runs just fine
- as a formatted drive under 1.3.
-
- Questions:
-
- (1) Has anyone gotten this controller (it uses a scsi.device driver)
- to format FFS manually? (The supplied software does not do anything
- but OFS, and since it uses its own programs [i.e. scsimount] rather
- than the more recent HDToolBox, I'm not sure if it will format
- from the CLI)
-
- (2) Are there 1.3 Xebec Disks/Drivers/Etc out there? If so, is it
- legitimate to pass them on, as Xebec seems to have passed into
- the great beyond...
-
- (3) Has anyone used this under 2.04? Does anyone even know if this
- driver (even if formatted to OFS) will work under 2.04? Since
- the responses I've gotten have been (yes, no, perhaps, probably
- not, probably will, and fifty fifty), I'd prefer to hear from
- someone (anyone?) who is running one of these under 2.04?
-
- Thanks,
- --Dave
