sible cable malfunctions.
Another cause for transmission errors could be if a SCSI unit, expecially during operation with long
cables, is operated in the synchron mode with high transmission rates. In this test try to decrease
the transmission rate by means of UnitControl.
Problem: A SCSI unit works slower than expected.
Check the correct adjustments of the synchronous transmission and the mask and maxtransfer
values of the concerned partitions. You can use the program CheckMask for this purpose.
Check for partitions operated under AMIGA DOS if those are operated with the FastFileSystem
(FFS). The adjustment FastFileSystem International Mode (FFS Int) can cause performance los-
ses, also the AMIGA DOS formatting with directory cache often leads to a considerable decrease
of the transmission rate.
If necessary check if the hard disk is fully utilized, and the files are distributed over many tracks. in
such a case it can be sensible to optimize the hard disk, special programs for this purpose, so-cal-
led disk optimizer, are available. Please pay attention to the operating instructions when using
such programs.
GENERAL REMARKS TO THE ERROR TRACKING
Another reason for errors which often causes unexplicable malfunctions of the system, is the
usage of non system conform software, which for example does not work correctly with the Work-
bench 3.1 of the AMIGA. This could also be seemingly unimportant, little utility programs, which
are e.g. called in the startup-sequence. If you have an individually configured system, it is impor-
tant, that you eliminate this error source also, by executing a test with a standard configuration.
Should you have problems, which do not correspond to the above listed, or which can not be eli-
minated with the proposed solutions, please refer to your retailer. Before calling him, make a very
precise error description, which states your system configuration as well as resp. system error
numbers in case of system breakdowns, and keep pen and paper ready.
