- I'm trying to get a Quantum 105LPS to work on my Atari ST. It's an
- original 520 with TOS 1.0. I'm using a Supra Host Adaptor (one of the
- early ones, from ~'88, before the clock chip and DMA passthrough were
- added). Software is Supra 4.03, from 1990. I've got my original ST138N
- Seagate drive set for SCSI 0. The computer would not recognize the Quantum
- at 0 or 1 (0, obviously, was tried with the Seagate out of the system).
- The drive will boot and supposedly format at SCSI ID 4, but data is not
- being written correctly to the Quantum.
-
- In addition to the 3 jumpers for ID select, there are 3 other jumpers,
- labeled SS, EP, and WS. As the drive did not come with a manual, I
- have no idea what these are for. With EP set, the drive is not recognized.
- With SS set, the drive went into a continuous seek and was not recognized.
- With WS, the drive would not power up at all.
-
- Has anybody gotten the Quantum to work correctly with the Supra H/A?
- Is there something obvious I've missed here?
-
- Any help would be appreciated.
-
- Jeff
