Title: Rockin' FuzinMonster thanks to EMXP!! Post by: who on October 10, 2015, 12:55:36 PM This may be premature, but wanted to share what appears to be success! I have an Acard 7720U with a CF card and it works, but I want to hot-swap and I don't really like CF cards. So I decided to try a FuzinMonster. At first, the EIII wouldn't recognize the Fuzin, so I reinstalled the Acard and daisey chained the Fuzin after it. That didn't work either. Eventually I got the EIII to recognize both the Acard and the Fuzin by doing the following: The Acard has to be last in the physical chain and terminated. (i.e. SCSI loops through the Fuzin to the Acard.) The Acard is on SCSI ID 4 and the Fuzin is on SCSI ID 5.
The next challenge was to get read/write working from the SD card. I used the EIII to format the card and aborted the verification. I could not write to the card because the EIII reported "SCSI disk is full." I tried to let the verification complete (2+ hours later), but it never did, so I aborted again and got the same result: SCSI disk full. Here's where EMXP come in: I decided to take the same SD card and format it with EMXP and it worked! I can read and write from/to it. I still need to verify hot-swapping works and eventually I may remove the CF card, but now is time to play! Title: Re: Rockin' FuzinMonster thanks to EMXP!!

I gave up on my Raizinmonster and put back my yamaha scsi/ide but will make a new try with you chain. I also have an Acard in my EIII. Does you EIII takes extra long time to boot,like going around 3 times the scsi chain before it boots on your Acard? When I had Yamaha´s both internal and in the Floppy place it booted direct.
