FW: lost emails on SCSI to IDE/SD converter project - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

22 Jan 2013

Yeah, I am rebooting after changing the partition table and I am being
careful to "zero" the device before trying to run fdisk.  A "real"
Seagate
ST125N is working in the same test setup, so it is possible for it to work,
but I have no good way to see the exact SCSI protocol exchange with the
ST125N to see what the difference is.

Thanks,

Wayne

Is he rebooting after changing the partition table under DOS 6.22?  It's a
known
thing.  You can't create the partition and use it right away.

DOS did change, so it's not surprising it "works the way you expect"
under DOS 3.3.  DOS was full of "well _this_ sucks!  Why did they
do that?" moments back in the day.  You might be experiencing one
now.
