Hatch) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.tech Subject: StarDrive Problems Keywords: DMA Timeouts Message-ID: Date: 23 Nov 88 22:08:27 GMT Distribution: na Organization: Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale CA Lines: 21 I have a StarBoard II with 2Meg installed. I've recently added a StarDrive module and connected it to a Seagate ST-138N SCSI drive. For two days it work with DOS 1.3 and FFS. Until I tried to show it off to a friend. With someone watching it claimed the drive was not a DOS disk. It's been down hill since then. The drive now regularly gets DMA Transfer timeouts, SCSI sense codes 3 or 4. Does not want to lowlevel format or DOS format. I've tried the drive on another computer, it works fine. I've even talked my dealer in to giving me another StarDrive module, same problems. Does anyone have any clues?
