Hello fellow Amigans,
I ordered the Aztekmonster scsi-->ssd converter for my A3000 from Ebay (artmix) and got it delivered yesterday. Happy with the idea to use a modern SSD with my A3000 I started installing it right away.

But sadly I run into problems with the converter.
When I install it with termination problems the A3000 hangs right away, the yellow led is constant on as soon as I power the A3000 on. This is logical and is suppose to happen normally.
When I install it with correct termination (as far as I can see and understand), the A3000 scsi controller communicates with the internal SCSI HDD on id2 (yellow led flickers while the HDD spins up and turns of for a short time when it goes to the next device), but as soon as it communicates with the Aztec the A3000 scsi controller hangs again with constant yellow led on. Just before it hangs I see a little orange LED on the Aztec controller lightning up for a very short time.
id's:
id2 = scsi HDD (not terminated)
id4 = Aztecmonster (tried both terminated and unterminated)
id6 = external scsi CD with termination
If I remove the scsi HDD and only use the Aztecmonster the problem stays the same, A3000 scsi controller hangs after a short time
If I remove the Aztec the A3000 boots up normally.
Connected to the Azrecmonster is a SSD with 4 FFS partitions. If I use a mechanical sata HDD (old 40 Gb from my PS3, I can hear the drive spinning up so it gets power.
Anybody else using the Aztecmonster SCSI-SSD converter with a A3000 or maybe another type Amiga?
Maybe anybody has some tips I can try to make this work? I already used the scsiprefs program to enable multiple Luns and Synchrone transfwer with no result.
Sadly I can't test the Aztec on my A1200 with Blizzard SCSI kit as the mobo is broken and I ordered a recapped replacement, but it hasn't arrived yet.
Please help?
