- Can anyone offer any help to a friend of mine. He has a //e with a High-Speed
- SCSI card, 44Mb SyQyest drive and wants to use Apple Pascal 1.3.
-
- He _has_ had it working fine under ProDOS and under Pascal using a Rev. C SCSI
- card. However, with the High-Speed card, Pascal has great trouble recognising
- the partitions. He tells me that by forcing the Pascal Filer to poll all
- drives, he can get it to recognise the partitions, get directory listings,
- etc., but he can't then leave the Filer and eXecute programs from the SyQuest
- drive (I think that was the problem - anyway recognising the drive outside of
- the Filer).
-
- Just in case, I have suggested playing with termination given the difference
- between the two SCSI cards, but I'm not too optimistic.
-
- As I am reporting this on behalf of a friend, from memory of a phone call,
- please forgive any silly errors above. It's years since I used Pascal (I was
- probably trying to do something with Wizardry disks at the time!), and I have
- never used Pascal 1.3.
-
- Any ideas? Has anyone used the above setup but with a fixed disk?
