Howdy

I want to mount a internal HDD inside of my MEGA ST (Tos 1.02 1986/87) using the AdSCSI Micro unit. I have tried it with these HDDs without success:

* Quantum Fireball TM2100S 2G HDD
* IBM DCAS-32160 2G HDD

Both are not working. The Quantum has no parity-disable jumper, so this could be the problem with that one. On the other side I bought especially the IBM which HAS a parity-disable jumper. Also, no success with this one.

This is what happens: Turn on the Mega, the HDD spins on, the FDD-Lights shortly flash up (Disk is not booting!!), then a green desktop apears with no icons and disabled menu items. That's all. I can't use the AdSCSI Utilities, because no drive is availble.

Argh!! This is really annoying, because I've bought the IBM on Ebay because it HAS a parity-disable jumper. Could it be, that both HDDs aren't compatible to the AdSCSI Micro??!

Is there a list with HDDs which are reported to work fine?
