Rockin' FuzinMonster thanks to EMXP!!

[who]

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!

Scratch the part about the order, but it does seem the acard likes to be terminated.

I tested hot swapping and that works too!!!

Thanks! This is great info.

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.

Yeah, mine takes 2 or 3 cycles to boot.
