I'm having trouble with installation of Aleph One's v0.8 distribution on
my RO4 SARPC on account of trouble recognising my Cumana SCSI II card.
On booting into the installer, everything proceeds as expected, except for
the list of expansion cards. My ANT ethernet card (in slot 0), DMI50 MIDI
card (slot 2) and Atomwide dual serial card (slot 3) are all recognised
correctly, but the SCSI card isn't.
I've tried several times, including removing the other cards and shuffling
the SCSI card about on the backplane, and almost all the time the boot
program reports it as
1: EASI [0000:0000] *unknown*
Though on a few occasions it's been reported as "EASI simple card x"
(don't remember the number) and twice as the "SCSI-2 & CDFS Expansion
Card" that RISC OS reports it as. Both those times I couldn't complete the
install because of difficulties accessing the CD-ROM (which, along with a
Jaz drive, is all that's on the SCSI bus at the moment).
I had a look at the expansion card info in the PRMs (4-119) and it seems
that the card ID is only mandated to be at the bottom of expansion card
space immediately after a reset. Perhaps it's not paged in? Or is a faulty
backplane a more likely problem?
Any help appreciated.
Tom
