I have an Amiga 2000 (Rev. 4.2) with 1 meg of memory (512 K chip, 512 K fast)
equipped with a Trumpcard Proffessional SCSI controller and a Quantum 105 M
Pro Drive in a hard card format. When I first bought the thing (cost me over
$700 five months ago mail order from Computability in Wisconsin) the software
didnt work so I return it to IVS and they gave me a working version. Since then
I have been happily using my 105 Meg HardDrive. About 5 or 6 days ago I have
experienced some intermittent problems -- after a long period of reading from
dh0: (dir dh0: all) the hard disk light would stay on for a long time and the Drive seems to lock up and leave me hanging. I cannot abort the operation.
Rebooting does not turn that hard disk light off. A cold start however does thetrick, until yesterday! Now I can't even access the harddrive. After the
binddrivers command is executed the hard drive light would turn on and stay on
and I will get a message "Please insert volume dh0: in any drive" The TCUTILS
software that came with the Controller does the same thing.
I tried running the software without the card installed and everything is
normal, so it can't be the software. I tried it with the card but with no driveand the problem was there again. (I have Kickstart 1.2 and WB1.3 if it matters
to anyone) If anyone out there has any ideas please email me at
adap@edmund.cs.andrews.edu
thank you in advance.
