Hello,
I am new here and this is my first post, so please forgive me if I'm not posting in the right place !
After reading several topics about using an SCSI2SD V5.1 with the MPC2000 Classic, I thought I'd bite the bullet and give it a try as floppy disks just aren't working out for me, but unfortunately I can't get it to work as expected. Whenever I go to format the SCSI drive on the MPC I just get an "SCSI not ready" message. I have tried configuring different SCSI addresses in SCSI2SD-util but I'm still encountering the same problem.
I will try to provide as much information as I can and as clearly as possible, sorry if there is too much:
I am using the SUB DB25 port on the V5.1 directly onto the MPC (Waiting on the the SCSI2-SCSI1 IDC50 to DB25 adapter to go internal once it's working)
I have tried 3 different SD Cards Sandisk 32gb, Sandisk 16gb and an old unknown brand 2gb
I am using a USB cable to power the SCSI2SD (Powering up the board before powering up the MPC)
I am using OSX and formatting using the default FAT in macs diskutility app (have tried using SDCardFormatterV5)
Here are the settings I have uploaded to the board:
General Settings:
Ticked Enable SCSI Terminator (V5.1 only) I have tried unticking this and I just get a "waiting" message when I scroll through the drives in the Disk menu on the MPC.
SCSI Host Speed: Normal
Starup Delay: 0
SCSI Selection Delay: 255
Everything else is unticked
Device 1:
Ticked Enable SCSI Target
SCSI ID 0 (I have tried all except 6)
Device Type: Hard Drive
Quirks mode: None
SD card start sector: 0
Sector size: 512
Device size: Have tried anything from 400MB to 2GB
Vendor: codesrc
Product ID: SCSI2SD
Revision: 4.2
Serial number: 1234567812345678
I have read of 2 people on this forum using SCSI2SD on the MPC2000 Classic, Plasticlegs and hok-2:

Any advice, ideas would be appreciated, and I'm pretty certain we could help out others !
