Hi!

Yesterday, I connected a Conner RZ23L hard disk (120Mb) as the internal
hard disk to a TT (TOS 3.05, probably rev. C), but that combination doesn't
work as it should.

At bootup, after I pressed the space bar, the hard disk LED remains on and
the system doesn't see and doesn't boot from the hard disk. Now, I have
connected another SCSI hard disk through an ICD host adapter to the DMA
port of the TT, and the system does see that one and boots from it. After
the TT has exited the driver software (ICD 6.0.4) the LED of the Conner
goes out. If I then run the driver from the desktop or relog the hard
disks, the Conner is seen and mounted by the system and I can use it
perfectly. I only can not boot from it, and that is just the thing I want
to! I have put the terminator resistors on the HD, so that's not the
problem. I also have tried various jumper setting, but they didn't help.

I have heard that various problems are known when using Conner HD on TT's,
so can anyone help me out? Or does anyone have some documentation on this
Conner HD concerning the meaning of the various jumper settings??
