need helb .... external cf reader !!!

i finish's my ext. cf reader ... wen i turn it on it made a little "PIP" it flash´s up and all looks fine.

bud wen the mpc Search´s the scsi id its pup up the "WATE" screen and the mpc frees.

i switch the pols of the id plugs ( the colored cable to ID on the AEC-7720U ) the terminator is sat to on bud nothing helps..

hope you can help me ... berry



the 7720u is now tapt up with insulating tape

Do you have the IDE connector on the Acard bridge connected to the IDE connector on the Delock card reader?

Do you have power connected to the Acard bridge?

Take the SCSI ID cables from the ID switch in the case off of the Acard for the moment, without anything connected to the SCSI ID pins on the Acard, it will default to SCSI ID 0, try to get it working on SCSI ID 0 to begin with.

Remove the SCSI termination power jumper from the Acard, as the SCSI termination power should be supplied from the MPC SCSI port, if the MPC SCSI termination power fuse is not blown, so leave it turned off on the Acard.

ok thanks it´s all sat up like you told me.

i removed all cables from the JP1 (sat it to ID 0 )
and i try it with termination power and without.. the mpc 2000 classic is still freeze....

bud the mpc will freez up wen its no scsi cable in it. is this normal ?

Is the Acard IDE connector connected to the Delock IDE connector? It is not connected in the photo you posted.

Does the Acard have power from the case connected to the Acard power connector?

yes the ide and poewe cables are all connected i just plug it off for the photo.

Can you insert a CF card, go into the Disk/Format screen, select SCSI ID 0, and format the CF card?

When you select SCSI ID 0 in the Disk/Format screen, does it show any information in the Vender= and Product= fields, and does it show an HD icon on the right side of the screen?

What CF card are you using?

What does the IDE cable that you are using look like?

my classic freez wen i turn the data to select a id... "wate" pups up and the mpc dont react to any button.

my ZIP works fine.

i have no secant serial to 25DB cable to chack this out.

ps: thanks for help

ahhh ok you mean goo directly to format... i will try it !

no ... its the same prob. wen i tray to select the ID the os freez up.

Freezes up completely? Doesn't timeout after 30 seconds, or some time like that?

now i wait for 2-3 min .. no reaction

ok turn die scsi cabe in the 7720 an now i can select ID 0



bud wen i try do format it this happens

Yeah, should have checked that in your photo, pin 1 on the Acard, marked by a square solder pad on the rear of the connector/pcb, should always line up with pin 1 on the connector/cable, marked by the red line on the cable and sometimes an arrow on the side of the connector.

Next thing to try might be a Sandisk CF card, maybe a 1 or 2GB card, one of their slower/normal cards, they seem to be the most compatible, but be careful of the counterfeits, of which there seem to be some around.

Also, maybe, try connecting the Acard IDE connector directly to the Delock IDE connector, without an IDE cable in-between, to make sure the IDE cable isn't causing any problems.

hi simon

frome the acard to the delock is just one way to connect it. the pin hast to slide in a recess.
