Blizzard 1230 Mk IV and SCSI controller

01 March 2008, 03:33

Hi All, it´s my first message to forum eab!

I´ve problem with my External CDROM SCSI, mount only when Power On External CDROM SCSI(first) and A1200(next), but after eject CDROM and Insert again not mount, same insert another disc no mount.

I´ve been used CacheCDFS and OS 3.9.

thks for any help.

at a fast glance... typing diskchange cd0: after inserting the new cdrom should solve your problem...

I suspect something else needs to be done... perhaps changing your cdrom filesystem?

I have this accelerator and scsi addon as well as the 060 counterparts but I never turn my A1200s on so can't see what filesystems or setup I used...

hope that helps until someone else adds

Hi Slayer,

Any idea to turn on automatic????

you say you're using os3.9

have you installed both the boing bags? other than that either change your filesystem or install idefix99 or similair...

the later package is available freely now with a free serialisation I believe...

I use os4 now so it's a little difficult to remember things... but prior to upgrading I did have idefix99 running at some stage...

IDEFix is for IDE devices, my CDROM is SCSI.

Oops... true

off the top of my head... do you need the scsi.device fix for blizzard boards etc... look at your NSDPatch.cfg in devs: maybe?

haven't used scsi now for quite some time... sorry

Mine worked with default settings on fresh install of os3.9. I think I just changed the unit number and device name in the mountlist of cd0 to the 1230scsi.device and that was it.

Maybe you need to use the unitcontrol program that came with blizzard scsi controllers to change some settings for the scsi unit the cd drive is on.
