[Coco] RGB-DOS & KenTron SCSI

[Chris Spry]

RGB-DOS has support for 255 partitions, so it is able to use larger than a 15MB Drive.  Unfortunately though, the drive I am using has absolutely no information on jumper settings, etc, on the Internet.  It's an old Apple Quantum ProDrive, with no model number or anything, just says 500MB.  There are only 3 jumper settings available on it too, all probably for ID.  No jumpers are on, so I'm assuming it is at ID 0.

  Did you set the SCSI address correctly on the drive?
  Possibly too large a drive for the dos. On my old one ( I guess they
  are all old!) It came with a 15 meg drive. I understood back then that that was
  the largest drive you could use.

    Hey guys,

    I just picked up a KenTron SCSI Hard Drive Controller and RGB-DOS recently.
    I got an FD-502 controller with an altered ROM for RGB-DOS burned in there,
    so when I turn on the system it automatically goes searching for a hard
    drive. I hooked up an Apple 500MB SCSI Hard Drive (Quantum ProDrive) to it
    inside of a SCSI Case. The SCSI cable hooked to it is the one
    specifically designed to be used with the KenTron to the SCSI drive (Doesn't
    use the middle pins on the SCSI drive). When I turn on the system it hangs
    looking for a hard drive. I have to reset the CoCo 3 to be able to use it.
    I tried loading the format command to try to format the HD for use, but when
    I go through and answer the questions and then goes to format it just hangs
    there too. Does anybody have any experience with this system and could help
    me out? Thanks.

    -Chris
