So I received my shiny new Trantor T130B card today. First attempted to see if I could get the BOOT ROM to work... but no dice as expected. So I downloaded ma13b.sys driver, disabled the BOOT ROM on the card and tried to boot off my floppy. The driver gives me this message:
--- For the T130B SCSI Host Adapter ---
SCSI host adapter detected at address 350h.
Device 0, Unable to read device status.
Warning: No devices respond
on this SCSI host adapter.
1 host adapter found.
I've tried various IO addresses available, BIOS ROM addresses, BIOS ROM disabled, hard drive jumper settings, termination methods (terminated at drive, terminated with a physical terminator on the cable), terminator power enabled on the drive, disabled, etc. I've tried two different hard drives and a CDROM drive. It always has the same error BUT it seems to detect the SCSI ID correctly. If I change the drive ID to 1 or 2, the error changes accordingly. It also can tell when two devices are connected, but both devices give the same error.
This is really driving me bonkers. Unfortunately I don't have another machine with an ISA slot to test, so seem to be stuck at the moment!!
