HELP! Anyone know how to write SCSI commands to devices that are connected to the C.Ltd SCSI interface? I'm still trying to connect a streaming tape drive to my Amiga. Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks in advanced. Chris. rochester!ektools!barrett

Me too!!! - The C-Ltd documentation mentions that you can connect tape drives to their I/F, but they give no instructions at all, and I've found their telephone support to be *lousy*, which is a pig when I have to phone from England !!! The documentation says that there are SCSI Read and Write programs on the disk, but *I* didn't get any...... Oh, and does anyone know what the latest release of the C-Ltd software for the controller is ??? -- Paul Ockenden Philips Radiotheapy Systems, Crawley, UK +44 293 28787 x 4349 ...!mcvax!ukc!prlhp1!ockenden OR ...!mcvax!prlb2!prlb!paul-melm03-decnet Any opinions expressed are not necessarily those of Philips.

I was having a problem once and they sent me a $50 MacII->SCSI style cable for free (I had only bought their controller so they were under little if no obligation to support my home-brew drive .... :-), now that's what I call GOOD customer relations. >The documentation says that there are SCSI Read and Write programs on the >disk, but *I* didn't get any...... > Gee, I called them back a few months later (well after my warranty was up!) and they sent me an upgraded version of their SCSIDOS disk and a manual disk too (I had a problem that was related to an old version of SCSIDOS by a fellow USENETer). >Oh, and does anyone know what the latest release of the C-Ltd software for >the controller is ??? > Currently at 2.06 by my last venture. At AmiEXPO Ed Lippart (company President/founder) said when AmigaDOS v1.3 comes out (uugghhh :-), C.Ltd will release SCSIDOS v3.0. This is in beta test now, and they just keep fine tuning it whenever CA comes out with a new version (gamma, omega,... :-) of AmigaDOS v1.3. I'm sure it will be well worth the wait.
