Hello,
I have recently bought a Conner CP3200-F SCSI hard disk, connected to
an Future Domain TMC-1680 host adapter. Upon loading Linux (99pl9) the
drive is sensed properly by the FD-driver, but further booting is not
done. This happens with the original SLS 1.02 bootdisk and the latest
FD-drivers (3.11) from Rik Faith.
I know about discussions on Conner drives in the past in this news
group, and if I recall correctly, the firmware on the drive is of
influence on the recognition of the drive. Currently, the revision of
the drive is 4041, according to the FD-driver.
Without the Conner, my system just boots fine, and I can even use the
CD-ROM player. Because I don't want to use the Conner drive for Linux,
I wander if it is possible to exclude a drive in the sense process?
My questions are:
- Is there anybody with any experience with Conner drives, and are
they working?
- If I need to get a new firmware, does anybody know where to get this
in Europe, preferably Holland?
To be complete, here is my total configuration:
486DX-33, 8Mb ram
Future Domain TMC-1680 SCSI
1 Seagate ST-1096N 80Mb
1 Quantum LPS-240S 234Mb
1 Connor CP3200-F 203Mb
1 Toshiba XM:3232 CD-ROM player
Thanks in advange for all help,
Kees.
