[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] Problems mounting second HD for A3000

rolee@jarthur.Claremont.EDU (Profess'nal Agitator) (04/21/91)

I recently upgraded to an A3000.  In the process, I kept my 105Q hard drive
and wish to daisy chain it internally.  According to the small A3000 manual,
this is as simple as mounting the drive to the holding plate, and connecting
the power and the SCSI cable from the other drive.

Wrongo.

After going through these steps, I could not get my system to reboot.  At
first, I thought it was a SCSI address compatibility, but after changing the
address on my second drive to 5, it still didn't boot.

Has anyone else had problems attaching multiple SCSI devices to their
A3000?  Did you have to remove the terminators from the original drive?

E-mail preferred.  Thanx in advance.

OK.  Second question.

Where are the terminators on the facory installed drive?  The schematics
given in the manual are only for Commodore hardware and the buses, not the
drives.

Thanx in advance,
