HDTOOLS 3.2 and SCSI2SD v6

videofx · 10 August 2021, 23:26

I setup my SCSI2SD with a 4GB and 10GB, drive 0 and drive 1

I boot HDTOOLS 3.2 and change the scsi.device to warpdrive.device for my Warp Drive accelerator.

I then get into HDTOOLS. HDTOOLS see the 2 SCSI drives. I tell it to read the drive info from drive 0 and it fills in all the info and shows its 4GB al is good up until now. After it read the drive info and you click OK I get the error "CAN NOT READ FROM DRIVE DEFINITIONS"

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!

I would verify the IDs are correct, and try to get them to read one at a time. I ran into something similar with my SCSI setup, and basically had to do that.

I tried that. I tired a 3GB drive 0 and same error. No mater how many drives or sizes I get the same error

Have you tried:

To to edit the partitions, select the "Direct SCSI" check box, save the partitions and reboot ?

What about setting the tool type SKIP_WRITE_PROTECTED to YES/ON/TRUE ?

Try editing drive definitions to ram:drive definitions (remember to hit return :-)

Jope, how do I edit drive defs in RAM:?

I decided just for giggles to try 3.1.4 and guess what ? it works! I can read and and saves the drive parameters. I am using a real floppy where 3.2 I am using my gotek. So for giggle I will make a floppy for 3.2 and try it.

So I made a real floppy disk from the 3.2 .adf and it works! Now I know the gotek is not write protected since I am able to change the scsi_drive_type to warpdrive.device

Any ideas how to get it to work with the gotek?

Pardon the language, but that's just f!@# weird!

Weird DMA mistiming?

In the screenshot you posted, there's a string gadget that says Filename: drive definitions in it.. I tend to add RAM: in front before doing anything else so that the file gets created into RAM:
