- SCSI device:
-
warpdrive.device and dkbscsi.device
- CD writer:
-
PHILIPS CDD 2000 V1.20 --> MANUFACTURED MARCH 1996
NOTE: I could not get the writer to work with the warpdrive.device!
The SCSI bus was correctly terminated, yet the complete system locked up
when I attempted to scan the warpdrive.device. I have tried several
solutions, but this drive just would not work! Therefor I had to connect
it to the dkbscsi.device, which works perfectly.
- CD-ROM drive:
-
PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-12TS V1.02
This is a fast SCSI-2 drive, 12 speed -- I use it with the
warpdrive.device (extremely fast access time and very high transfer rates
of upto 1.5MB/sec!).
- Other devices at the same SCSI bus:
-
IOMEGA Z100i ZIPDRIVE INSIDER SCSI-2 MODEL
This one is connected to the warpdrive.device, because this is a
fast SCSI-2 device (the dkbscsi.device is just a SCSI-2 device). This way
you achieve the optimal access time with the ZIP drive.
System works fine. No SCSI hangups. +70 (!) CD-Rs written, 7 trashed due
to wrong settings, buffer underruns (because of wrong settings) and
two unexplainable problems ('callibration area full' errors). All the
rest were successful.
The same CD writer was also tested on an A4000 with a GVP SCSI-II
controller (V2.?? an old one!). We could only write at single speed. But
with a ROM update for the controller it should work.
