- I have been using Rodime 200 MB disks. All I had to do to get them working
- again under RiscOS 3.1 was delete-poweron the computer and reconfigure the
- standard options and the Lingenuity SCSI options. Everything worked first time.
- Don't try to use the RiscOS 3 scsi_filer module, it is only for the Acorn
- SCSI.

- Unless subsequent damage has occured, wiping and reconfiguring the CMOS
- values should fix it. If it is very old Lingenuity firmware, they might
- have made a mistake that has since been fixed. I think I'm running the
- 1.3 firmware. Apart from the obvious hassles with directory size and filename
- length, the only noticeable omission is that the new method of showing the
- disk free-space is not supported. And of course the old gripe that it is
- not possible to remove SCSIFSlinks, so the only way to remove a disk icon
- after removing a disk unit is to poke the CMOS values directly or
- R-poweron and reconfigure.
