I just set a friend of mine up with a 71MB Fujitsu MFM with an Adaptec 4000A. He got a Ken-Ton SCSI Interface (which, incidentally, had serial no 1480, I think; the interesting part is that my interface, which I bought from Boisy Pitre more than 2 years ago, is serial no 1510!!). We tested the drive with my interface and his interface. I use an FD-502, and everything worked fine. However, he uses (used) a Super Controller II with an RS-DOS ROM. When he runs RGB-DOS from a floppy, or boots up OS-9, the HD doesn't work. RGB hangs before an OK prompt, and OS-9 will give an error 214 on ANY /h0-related command or action. I told him over the phone to try his FD-502 and everything works fine. So the question: why doesn't his Ken-Ton SCSI work with the SCII? If it's any help, he has a CoCo 3 with 512k and I BELIEVE a newer MPI. I would think that people who put together high-performance systems would have included these components in their systems; did they get that combo to work? Thanks for any help. I told him that, in the meanwhile, I wouldn't care, because the no-halt of the SCII is of no consequence if everything is done on the HD anyway, but that's not an acceptable solution in my opinion. Thanks, again! -- |"Let's not spoil what we have together by talking." --Dan Fielding| | hpapaleo@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu Delphi: WTHUNDER| | NetworKING BBS: +1 614 868 4793 "And no place else."|
