Also, the SCSI2SD Rv5 does not work on the FT, the RV3 does, as does the Aztec Monster. Not sure why, RV3 has the same SD card as the RV5 I tried, but the 5 just locked up the machine. Worked once or twice, but mostly locked up when it gets to the load the operating system.
This was tickling my memory the other day. I have definitely experienced weirdness with the SCSI2SD v5 on FT machines, but not consistently. On one machine, I experienced lockups until I removed the terminating resistors and switched to a three-connector cable with a terminator plugged into the end. I haven’t tried any of the other versions. Another FT machine worked flawlessly with a SCSI2SD right out of the box. Maybe certain revs of the MFA card are sensitive, and/or the terminating resistor packs being towards the top/bottom end of their tolerance makes it flake out. -- Ian
