I've somewhere, that it would bge possible, to connect to amigas with two scsi-controllers. one of them should be the master the other the slave. now my question, how can I do that? what kind of software I need and can this be done with an a3000 and a gvp scsi controller? How fast would this be? like a harddisk? cu josef -- < Josef Egloff | USENET: josef@augs.ccs.imp.com > < Pfaffnernweg 19 | PATH: impch!accsys!augs!josef > < CH - 4852 Rothrist | > < Switzerland | AUGS: as SYSOP (acc #1) >

The ability to be a target is generally inherent in the SCSI chips used, but the firmware (read "driver") usually doesn't want to be the target. You may need to write special driver code, and you'll have to reset the SCSI ID on one of the controllers, since most of them are set to SCSI ID 7. The HardFrame comes set at 7, but it's jumper selectable. I dunno about the GVP or 3000. > -- > < Josef Egloff | USENET: josef@augs.ccs.imp.com > > < Pfaffnernweg 19 | PATH: impch!accsys!augs!josef > > < CH - 4852 Rothrist | > > < Switzerland | AUGS: as SYSOP (acc #1) > -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [- O] Rick Stevens ?

I dunno about the GVP or 3000. since I havn't the time to rewrite any drivers, I would ask if there is someone out there who has done this. maybe this *is* done by commodore for its driver in the A3000, maybe GVP? are here some peoples from GVP, wich can say something to this? >---------------------------------------------------------------------------- >[- O] Rick Stevens > ?
