Title: EIII with ZuluScsi
Post by: Michaelmeinl on July 25, 2022, 12:51:47 AM
Hello everyone,

I am new to the Forum and first of all thank you everybody for contributing.

I have an issue getting a ZuluScsi Drive to work in my EIII

My internal Harddisk died and I just wanted to replace it with the ZuluDrive.

However I can?t seem to get it to work.

First I tried it with the internalHD unplugged and the Zulu termination DIP "ON". The EIII does not even show any display and won?t start.
Then I got an active Scsi Terminator (Ribbon Cable). The EIII will start but the Zulu is not responding (no LED blinking).

When I have the old InternalHD plugged in after the Zulu the EIII will boot from the Floppy and I can access the ZuluDrive. But once I press any button the Display reads "no such bank".

Did anybody sucessfully install a ZuluScsi in the EIII and maybe point me in the right direction ?

Thanks in advance
Michael

Hi, I don`t have Zulu, but i believe it is pretty the same as SCSI2SD. So what needed to be done - you need to configure zulu to 1gb partition size (EIII wont work with more than 1gb), and then try to turn on-off SCSI termination (usual scsi hell), SCSI ID (I use 1) and try switching SCSI 2 mode on off.

My personal scsi setup:   

ID 1 - E3 SCSI2SD HDD
ID 2 - Power MAC G3 HDD (also SCSI2SD)
ID 3 - E3
ID 5 - SCSI CD in Power MAC G3
ID 7 - CPU Power MAC G3

Power MAC is used for Alchemy, Sound Designer, Turbosynth, EIII remote.

All the best,
Kirill

Great, thank you for the Tips !!

The following seems to be working:

I downloaded a bootable HD Image from EMXP.com.

Now the EIII boots from the Zuludrive. I just have to figure out how to get it to work without the internal HD Plugged in.

Thanks for the info with the 1 GB Partitions !! That helped a lot !

Cheers

U r welcome ) Just unplug the HDD and try switching SCSI termination on-off on zulu.
