Funny, the Ampro docs list all these various controllers and whatnot.
The software also _asks_ what controller it is going to talk to. The
SCSI controller is part of the LB. What would the software consider the
onboard controller to be?
What hard-drive are you using? If it is a SCSI drive? Is it set to
ID=0? If so, choose either Seagate or Maxtor and give that a try.
If you have the proper version of the HD Utilities, you should not need
to do any.

I was after the length of the cable and their locations on it. belongs with it. Does anyone have a Series 100
box that
could give me
the measurements and connector orientation &
location of the floppy
cable?
Nothing magic. the last one I had used was from a PC.
Secondly, I don't know what "brand" SCSI
controller is built
into the
board. The SCSI chip seems to be an NCR 5830, but
that leads me
nowhere in relation to whether or not it's an Adaptec or other model
controller. I need to know the brand because the hd
formatting software
needs to know it.
Your applying PC logic to it. It's is not Adaptec, i'ts just
SCSI (SCS1 or II) host and the NCR5380 is one of the early
and common chips used for that.

If you dont mind hacking Z80 code you can go frm
an AMPRO LB with SCSI to a smaller SCSI drive (64mb or less,
or the rest will be unused).
I've got a 20MB SCSI drive I'm trying to use. The bootrom rev tells me
that it's got support for the SCSI controller. What coding has to be
done? G.
