Message-ID: <53498@nigel.ee.udel.edu> Date: 13 May 91 22:27:26 GMT Sender: mmdf@ee.udel.edu Lines: 23 First of all: I would like to thanks John H. Lee and Hal who sent me instruction on how to do this drive work properly, including disk change. Second: If you are not one of the guys above, but sent me a mail, well, I think my host lost it. We had a disk crash this weekend and all mails received from last friday to this monday morning was lost... I still have some problems: I want to use that drive as an external one, but until now, it work only when I replace it by the internal. Looking on the drives pinouts on the docs, I found a little difference between the internal and external connectors: the external has a line called IORESET. Where have I to link this line in the drive (pin number)? In addition to this, is there any other thing to do? A friend of mine (who is trying to use a identical drive) said me maybe we need a little interface (?) to connect this drive as an external. A flip-flop or something. Is it true? My system is an A500 1M rev.5. The drive is an Chinon FZ 354. * Gelson Dias Santos * Bitnet/Internet: GELSON@SBU.UFRGS.ANRS.BR * * Porto Alegre - RS * Sorry, english is not my native language! * * BRAZIL * (Alguem fala portugues?) *
