Hello ATARI-lovers: I can help you and meybe you can help me
- THIS IS NOT A COMMERCIAL -

I connected a CMI 5619 harddisk (16MB) to my 1040ST via a XEBEC S1410
controller and an ATARI host adapter board.  The software I used
is: icdfmt.prg from ICD (a *VERY* nice program which may be distributed
freely) and icdboot.prg as a diskdriver.

The problem is: when I try to format a second hard disk (logical unit
number = 1 instead of 0, which is the first HD), the  disk starts
formatting but when the last track is done, the formatting process
starts all over again, so partitioning is not done.
I *can* format the second disk when I strap it to be LUN=0, but I
still cannot access the disk as a second hard disk from the desktop.

Question ?  Is this a software problem or does it have something to
do with the ATARI host adapter board ?

Finally: anyone who is interested in how I got the first HD to work
(I also got a RODIME 204E (44MB) and a seagate ... (40MB) running)
please let me know and I can see if I can help.


Thanks in advance for your (hopefully numerous) answers.
