If this is the case you can       only use it with the full-featured SCSI bus of a TT or Falcon or with a       LINK96/97 host adapter. These are the only host adapters for the ST/STE       which support initiator identification (SCSI ID 7).               > I am not aware of the sense of "Disable UNIT attention" here, also of        > the jumper "Disable T.I.Sync Negotiations".              You should disable both. Enabling unit attention can prevent the Atari       from booting from a drive. The synchroneous transfer negotiation is not       supported by ACSI. Only with a TT or Falcon and a driver with support       for SCSI messages (like HDDRIVER and maybe CBHD) it can be enabled, even       though you would not be able to profit from it with the Atari.              But anyway, provided your drive is not broken the lack of initiator       identification with ACSI ist most likely the problem.              --       -----------------------------------------------------------------------        Dr. Uwe Seimet http://www.linkbylink.net/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
