- I really hope this is the right group to post this question/plea to.
- I want to buy this 82meg Micropolis HD..._BUT_ when I connect it to
- my A2091 + 40meg Quantum, I get the same LUN #'s for both drives.
- Different scsi addresses(6 for Quantum, 1 for Micropolis) but the same
- LUNs. So, thinks I, You've got to change the Jumper for the LUN#...
- Ok, so where _IS_ the jumper for the LUN#? Well?
- Well that's my question: Does anyone out in netland
- have one of these things, or the docs for one, or maybe someone from
- Micropolis is out there reading this and can lend a hand.(Yeah Right!)
-
- Drive specs: 1986 Micropolis Model #1373a (5 1/4", full-height)
- Part # 900488-18-0A
- The Drive says 'scsi 106 mb' on the media defect table but it
- only formats out to ~80 meg. It formats out correctly and reports no
- errors. It reports all bad blocks listed on the table.
- I have come this conclusion because I'm assuming that both the physical
- addresses(LUN#) and virtual address(scsi address) have to be different.
- BTW: I'm running an Amiga2000, A2091 scsi controller(w/ver6.1 roms)
- a 40meg quantum, and 3meg ram(total). I'm also unsure of changing the
- jumper settings on the controller. From what I've read in the manual,
- I don't think I have to change anything there. Thanks for the help.
- BTW: Please e-mail responses. (unless the mail bounces, then post)
-
- p.s. Has anyone heard when version 7.0 roms for 2091's will be out?
