Default Re: SSD Drive in Amiga detection issue

Yes, the Hard Disk Media Toolbox that comes with OS 4.1 is the most complete Program for dealing with hard drives I have ever used, on and off the Amiga, especially with its "Expert" mode. Find someone who can give it a try with your SSD.

If someone starts a new Thread with what SSD's work on what controllers: OCZ Vertex III, 120GB, VTX3-25SAT3-120G on A4000T IDE, NCR_SCSI + ACard 7720+IDE->SATA, CSPPS + ACard 7720+IDE->SAT, and A2000 GVP Series II + ACard 7720+IDE->SAT.

You got me thinking Dan, I will format and configure in my Peg II since MOS 3 support pfs, perhaps that will be the best route. Or maybe SFS, don't know if it's MOS SFS and PFS is compatible with AOS 3.x...

Should I use the Mask settings for Amiga SCSI on the LSI in the Peg II?

Mask settings only matter if you have a choice of Chip vs Fast ram in very old systems. For the most part, it doesn't matter. Use the default

Thanks for all the help guys.

I was able to get it to work just fine on the 3000 scsi. Mech was right that the cable lengths and proper term was critical. She works just fine, smooth and fine.

Unfortunately the warp engine flat out refuses to see it. So the acard must not like the ncr scsi. Shame really...

Mousehouse: Did you ever get a chance to test your acard with your warp engine?

Final update:
Tried a different 68 to 50 adapter (with proper termination) and it still will not work in the Warp Engine. So the Acard is NOT compatible with the Warp Engine SCSI. Don't waste your time if you buy the Acard trying to fiddle with it to work in the Warp Engine.

Again thanks to Mech, I will visit your store in payback once I sell my Peg II.
