I'm making some progress with my CST Thor rebuild project. Almost 3 of my 4 Thor computer work right now. One is still dismantled.
This week I've got a RODIME RO652 harddisk from someone in the United States. The seller reported that the drive is in working condition. Today I connected it to one of my Thor XVI computers (only one Thor XVI has the SCSI interface populated). This Thor has an brand new external switched power supply. When I startup the computer, the drive starts spinning. So far, so good. I know from the Thor manual that FORMAT needs an * after device name (e.g. FORMAT 'win1_*MyDrive'. But all attempts to access/format the harddisk failed. I've tried all drive numbers from Win1_ to Win8_. My speculation: Wrong jumper settings on the harddisk. Does anybody know how the Jumper settings must be to operate a RODIME RO652 in a CHST Thor or with a CST SCSI Interface on the QL? Any other hints? I've uploaded some PICs.
