[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Adding hard drives to A3000

jpotter@ucs.adelaide.edu.au (Jonathan Potter) (05/12/91)

I have just added an external 52 meg quantum (identical to the one inside) to
my A3000. When I switch the 3000 on, the light on the new hard drive comes on
and stays on, and the computer goes no where. If I wait 10 - 15 seconds,
reset (c-a-a), it boots perfectly.

I have the terminating resistors in properly, the hard drive is set up as
unit 0, so what is wrong? The hdtools program says this quantum is v2.8, whereas
the internal quantum is v2.3. I have tried swapping the new quantum for the old
one, but the same thing happens. Is this a problem with the scsi interface not
being able to handle 2 drives? Or is it a problem with the new quantum hard
drive?
