You speak of V6 roms, whereas I thought the last version was the V5 for
40MB SCSI upgrade as I have those on Flippers. If you have something
labelled V6 I'd love a copy to see if that may have an effect on my
AztecMonster integration.

Well, not so far!

I have been unable to get any of my 9100s including the 9100FT/68030 to
recognize the Aztecmonster with a Transcribe 128MB CF card at all. Keep
getting errors when the unit tries to format the drive. The cable and
machine handle a regular SCSI drive just fine so I have to wonder if you
have anything unusual in your setup.

I get this error with the AzetecMonster:

"Error Setting 512/Sector Format" followed by "sensekey:05 additional:26"

Using an ACARD ACE7720U with an IDE to CF adapter I get this error
message...

"Can't seek to track 0" followed by "sensekey:05 additional:26"

Any SCSI experts here who can interpret these messages?

I've tried other CF cards, but all I had were 512MB and larger, the 128
was the only 'small' card here.

Thanks!
