Alphastation 200 4/166 - connected an external
Apple CDROM (which my predecessor used to install
the OS). I've tried every SCSI number on the
external CDROM, cycling power between each
attempt. (and 3 SCSI cables with each combination,
trusting in voodoo as I do).
No matter what, "show dev" reveals :
dka0.0.0.6.0 DKA Quantum Fireball thingy
dva0.0.0.0.1 DVA0
ewa0.0.0.11.0 EWA0 08-00-2B-E5-54-F5
dka0.7.0.6.0 PKA0 SCSI BUS ID 7
"isacfg -all" had zero effect.
Due to this, I couldn't upgrade firmware from the CDROM
so downloaded the latest version from ftp.digital.com
and that went fine.
Anyway, if it weren't for the knowledge that the
current OS (DU3.2) was installed with this very
same CDROM drive, I'd have bet it was a hardware
incompatibility.
Are there any other checks for getting the Alphastation to
recognise the SCSI / external CDROM ?
Thanks indeed,
chas
