- Please help me before I murder this A2000!!
-
- I just got this A2090 card to control an old hard drive I picked up a while
- back. It's a MiniScribe 8425S 20 Megger. When I got the A2090, it didn't
- have any install disk, but somebody was nice enough to uuencode and mail
- it to me. I copied my Workbench disk like instructed and booted up with that
- disk. I then went over to the Instal disk and double clicked on the Install
- icon. A bunch of stuff got copied into RAM: and then another screen came
- up. I was asked if I wanted to continue, said yes and the drive copies some
- stuf into my mountlist and c: directory. Then it goes into this this where
- it says "loading driver" the workbench disk spins for a second and then it
- just sits there. I can't close the window, or exit the program. I bring up
- another Shell, do a Mount RES2: and it is mounted (confirmed using assign).
- Then I type Prep RES2: and I get an error -1 return code from Harddisk.device
- or something like that.
-
- What the frick am I doing wrong????
-
- ONE time I tried, I got it to go as far as loading driver, actually load the
- driver, it brought up alittle menu and asked if I had 0)custom installation
- 1)scsi 2)st506. I put in 0, and it asked me all the questions about heads
- and cylindes and all that. It said eveything was cool and to reboot the system
- now. I did so, and the thing just stopped halfway through the SSequence....
-
- What set of pins should the drive jumper be on???? I've been trying with
- it on the rear most set, and the next one closer to the front.
-
-
- Can anybody help me with this ASAP!!!!!!????????
-
- Thanks,
