If you have an Acorn SCSI adapter, or an alternative which
supports the same SWIs (check with your SCSI adapter supplier), you can
use direct SCSI support. The aim of this is to allow SCSI hard disks which
have been formatted and used on a PC to be read and written to by the PC Card.
If you want to connect a PC-formatted SCSI disk, you should:
-
Select the DOS format SCSI drive radio button.
-
Enter the device number, that is, the drive’s number on your SCSI chain.
-
The software will configure itself automatically to the shape of the drive.
-
You may experience desktop problems because RISC OS thinks that this disc
is a SCSIFS drive which it cannot read properly. To cure this, the PC hard
disk should have its SCSI ID set to a higher number than any other RISC
OS drive on the SCSI chain, and you should use:
to reduce the number of disks by one (that is n should be the number of
discs present on the SCSI chain minus one).
