Hi,
I just acquired a used Trantor 128F SCSI adapter that I am trying to
install in a 486sx-33 to run a Maxtor lxt-340sy harddrive. The card has
onboard bios that can be enabled/disabled. The computer bios is AMI
(06/06/92).
I have set the jumpers and dipps on the drive and card to what I
think should be reasonable values according to what I have so far read about
SCSI. After the memory check and a couple of seconds of who knows what, and
after the SCSI bios message if I have it enabled, I get
FDD controller failure
HDD controller failure
press <F1> to resume
If I press F1 I get that nice little table that gives a run down of
what is in the box, three lines about memory, shadow memory and something
else, and them I am dead in the water because there is neither a floppy nor
a hd from which to boot.
I'm not really sure what to look for or try. I did try changing the
IRQ of the board ( I picked 10 because I don't think anything uses it) but I
got the same message I got about a thousand times before.
I have made some progress in ajusting the dipp switches (I didn't
event get the option of F1 to continue at first). I don't know enought
about the start up of the box to know what is causing this. Can anyone give
me an idea of what to look at ?
Thanks,
Gerald Crimp
