Reviving an old thread…

I had the same idea some time ago, to have an internal SCSI drive in my desktop A1200 with Blizzard SCSI Kit, but I didn't want to lose the possibility to connect external devices, so what I did is to make a new cable:

SCSI Kit connector ==> Internal DB25 ==> External DB25 (the original one)

Both DB25 connectors are female, and usually devices have male ones, but it's a wise decision to have some DB25 gender changers (male-male), just in case, some devices have the other gender, or you need an adaptor with the other gender (SCSI2SD needed a IDC50 to DB25 adaptor, and the DB25 in the adaptor was female, so a gender changer was mandatory).

So, whatever I connect to the internal one, inside the A1200, it has the termination set to OFF, so I can connect external devices on the rear DB25 connector. I have external HDs, a ZIP drive, several 2GB Jaz drives, a tape drive, a scanner, optical drives, even a SCSI 3"1/2 floppy drive from a SGI…

I have tried internally a SCSI2SD, a ZuluSCSI RP2040 and a SCSIknife Multi, all three work well.

You may wonder what happens if termination is set to OFF and i don't connect anything to the external one, problems may arise (even if I have never faced a single problem with only one device connected in 30 years), or else I should open the A1200 lid and change termination: I have an external DB25 terminator ( https://i.imgur.com/LAXOMja.jpeg ), so when nothing else is connected, I plug the terminator. Solved.

Now I want to try an internal BlueSCSI v2 with a RPi Pico 2W, it has WiFi, a nice and useful feature, and I'd like to give it a go. The problem with these small devices, this one and the ZuluSCSI Slim Pico, both designed to be external, the last device, is that both have termination forced to ON by design, you cannot change it. Fortunately, a friend with knowledge in electronics tweaked the BlueSCSI v2 DB25 and redesigned it, taking out the soldered termination resistances and placing holes for a socket for two resistive grids that do termination, like in the old hard disks, so you can connect them or not depending on the use. When internal, they will be unplugged, but I will be able to use it as external too just plugging them in its place.

@Paul

Call me crazy, but I'd put an eye on amiga.com…

@Chris

Another reason more not to understand why it hasn't been ported to Amiga yet…

Saluditos,

@BillE

Well, both PhotoRec and TestDisk are open source, so someone with enough skills should be able to compile them for OS4.

It recovers files from FAT, NTFS, ext2/3/4 or HFS+, so it should be enough for your card.

Even if you don't have a PC, borrow one and try PhotoRec, at this moment I don't think there's anything on Amiga to recover files from FAT partitions.

Edit: I have just seen your wife has a Mac: there's a version of PhotoRec for Mac.

Yes, me: I wouldn't touch any LG optical drive with a barg pole. Bad experiences both on Amiga and PC, things like units not being recognized, or only some disks being read.

I prefer much more any Nec drive (now Optiarc) than LG ones. In fact, I've been using Nec DVD+RW and DVD-ROM drives for years without a single problem.

Agreed. Solid script, with action and effects adapted to it, and not the other way round.

I hate movies where special effects are there just for the sake of it, ignoring the script, just to show us, poor audience, how skilled the effects creator is. Bah...

Again, recommended movie, this one.

@salass00

Thanks a lot for your offering!

As far as i know, OSes only run clients, servers are run on the printer side of the equation. CUPS, the printing system for Linux, includes a client, and the examples provided by Ami603 are clients or libraries to deal with servers.

@Ami603

Thanks a lot, man! I'll take a look.

@Swoop

Thanks for the info. Shame that my coding skills are close to zero...

@Chris

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for, an ipp equivalent to lpr.device.

Saluditos,

Ferr?n.

@Jack

Thanks for your interest. According to this page, it only supports IPP.

Saluditos,

Ferr?n.

@Swoop

Thanks, but the problem it's not the OS but the router itself, it seems it only support IPP.

Saluditos,

Ferr?n.

I know there's a lpr.device that can be used to do net printing, but I have an USRobotics MaxG router+print server that is not LPR compatible, but it uses IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) instead. Is there any IPP-capable driver for the Amiga?

Using Cowon M5 20GB and Cowon D2 8GB, both are recognized by my A1 without problems, so I-d say any Cowon player would be a sure bet.

Hi Kai, welcome to Amigans.net. Enjoy.

@COBRA

So now that there's no Moovid development, therefore no rivality, time to include MOV format to DVPlayer? Please? Por favor? S'il vous pla?t? Bitte? Per favore?

Many digital cameras use that format, it would be fantastic to be able to play it in DVPlayer.

Saluditos,

Ferr?n.

PS: Did I say 'please'?

@BrandonLee

Even if SFSCHeck finds anything, it will not be able to repair it, being to only available solution to copy the data from the problematic partition to a different one and refformating.

Have you tried

That's what happens when you order a 2-units batch...

Well, my current uptime is more than 20 hours, my system is

A1-XE, G4@933MHz, 1GB RAM

and using it right now with IBrowse, PageStream, ImageFX, DOpus, Yam and some other progs at the same time. Rock solid, I'd say.

BTW, I have 2x512MB DIMM stick and they work quite well, even if they won't pass memtester (I simply don't trust it), while in real use test, like copying many files over and over from HD to RAM and checking its MD5sum won't bring a single problem in HOURS! Oh, and my AOne has been on 24/7 for 3 years now... ;?) And yes, I use it as a file server.
