- Oh, My, yes.
-
- I just finished a harrowing 2-day torture session trying to get a Q240LPS to
- "work 'n' play nice" with a Toshiba CD-ROM drive.
-
- The Q240 would grab the SCSI bus, and hand on for dear life.
-
- (The host adaptor was a GVP Series II SCSI +8 RAM, with 4.5 roms in it)...
- The quantum has Version 4.6 roms... The latest version is 5.7 :)> ... (if
- your roms say 6.4, never mind, you can't change 'em :))
-
- Changing jumper J2 on the gvp board to short pins 2-3 has solved the problem
- in the interim, we are waiting for the new roms from Quantum.
