I'm trying to get my SCSI2SD working on my MPC60 with OS 3.10 but the the MPC cant find the drive.

The equipment I'm using is
    Internal SCSI2SD v5.2 from inertial computing . Firmware 4.8.4
    Marion Systems SCSI card
    Jazzcat's internal/external SCSI cable
    SanDisk 8gb SD Card SDHC SDXC Class 4 Card

I've tried the setting listed in this thread, (based on the EMAX settings that i found on the net as the images are actually missing from the thread) . viewtopic.php?f=4&t=182741&p=1723017&hilit=scsi2sd+emax#p1723017
I've also experimented with a range of other settings without success.

The cable works fine with the external Zip drive. The LED on the internal drive blinks while the MPC tries to find the drive but then it eventually times out (this happens when the SCSI search is set to AUTO or to a defined SCSI ID).

I notice others are using Vimana OS with SCSI2SD. Is anyone using 3.10?
I poke to Samplerzone and they inform me that their drive works with OS 3.10. Can anyone confirm this?
If anyone is using SCSI2SD with OS 3.10 succesfully can they point me to the correct settings?

Much appreciated !!

Hey I can confirm that your setup works under Vinmana OS (I have the same)

Two silly questions:
Did you format the (sd card) drive using the mpc60?
Did you try a different ssd card?

I know the 3000 guys also have problems with SCSI2SD using 3.12 aswell and no problems on Vailixi OS.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated .
I can’t format the card on the MPC as it can’t find the SCSI device first.
Yes I have tried with another SD card.

Are you able to tell me the settings you are using on the SCSI2SD utility to set up the 4 IDs? If I can copy that exactly and it still doesn’t work then I know it’s almost certainly the OS.
Thanks

Its working!
Big thanks to thabutcha & Clint .
My mistake was not formatting on the MPC 60. I thought that i wouldnt be able to format if it didnt detect the SCSI drive but that is not the case (I think its been a long while since I formatted any Zips disk, hence the brain fart).

For others interested SCSI2SD *DOES* work on OS 03.10

My set up:
    Internal SCSI2SD v5.2 from inertial computing .
    Firmware 4.8.4
    Marion Systems SCSI card
    Jazzcat's internal/external SCSI cable
    SanDisk 8gb SD Card SDHC SDXC Class 4 Card

Use the SCSI2SD utility to set up the drive: 4 devices, numbered 0-3. 1gb in size.
Format the disk on MPC60. I did 26 x30mg partitions for each SCSI ID

Saving and loading is working great for me so far.
