Ampro LB186 SCSI and hard drives/SCSI2SD/Zulu

[RichCini]

All --

Has anyone gotten a SCSI hard drive working with the Ampro LittleBoard 186? I pulled mine out of storage to try to get a drive working on it and I'm not having much luck with the SCSI2SD that I have. I've defined a drive template based on the Seagate ST-225N (21MB) on a spare SCSI2SD that I have and it doesn't seem to like it. I used the SCSI formatting program on the utilities disk, but Compaq DOS 3.31 doesn't recognize it.

Any tips/hints would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ok, I think I fixed it. I can indeed get it to boot off of SCSI using my SCSI2SD v5.1, but it's revealed another issue with overheating. It seems that after 10 minutes of use, the board stops working and the 80186 is very hot. I ordered a stick-on 22mm^2 heatsink for it, so maybe that'll help. In reality, it should be in a case of some sort, but I don't have that.
