  13. I am having problems setting up an A1200 with an IDE Quantum Go drive.
  14. I dont have a spec sheet for the drive, so the jumpers are set as shown:
  15.  
  16.                   I=I
  17.     O-------------I-I-I-----------I-I--O
  18.     |            CS   DS          AT   |
  19.     |                                  = TO SKT IN A1200
  20.         |                                  =
  21.         |                                  =
  22.     |                                  =
  23.     |                                  =
  24.     |                                  |
  25.     |                                  - NO CONNECTION/LINK
  26.     |                                  - TO 4 PINS HERE
  27.     O----------------------------------O

  29. ie. the only jumper is to CS.  The drive came with the jumper to DS but the
  30. Amiga would not boot in this case.
  31.  
  32. The drive starts ok, light flashes, but HDTool box can't find it on any 
  33. device 0-6.
  34.  
  35. If you can help please email me:  M.Saunby@reading.ac.uk
