Went and looked at the latest SCSI2HD offerings -- the V6 now has synchronous transfers! (probably not applicable here but years ago I was a scsi driver/firmware developer -- so a scsi nerd). Sadly the V6 cards are all out of stock (as are the V5.x cards I checked). I hadn't heard of the RaSCSI stuff but picked up a pi hat to play with. Has anyone tried it on their 9100? --Kurt On 3/17/22 09:27, Brad Gass via Techtoolslist wrote:
I *think* Tony was referring to the PCMCIA to SCSI solution being obsolete (which it is).
I admit, when I first read that, it took it as saying the SCSI2SD solution was obsolete and went "huh?" - and then read it again, "has obsoleted" not "has been obsoleted".
But, I'm not sure I'd agree with your take that RaSCSI has obsoleted SCSI2SD, but that's another discussion altogether :)

How is the image obsolete? I used it on my scsi2sd . ( FYI, scsi2sd is also obsolete now, everyone is going to RaSCSI )

I would convert the Spinny HDD to a CF Card.
Andy's Arcade has a premade 64mb CF Card Image ->

This is ancient. The scsi2sd solution has long obsoleted this.
maybe it is possible the system is failing to start because of a Disk I/O
Error?
It should be possible to boot the system normally using just the 3 floppies and he reports this also fails.
Maybe his system floppies are bad and so is the HDD. Anything is possible.
Kevil since you can boot the service disk with the scsi card removed (it is very odd you cannot using soft f2 f4) I would suggest enabling the reporting of Io errors. See if this helps.
