In the UnitControl icon enter the following
tool type: DEVICE=1230scsi.device

OK. That would be the cable ment for the original
A1200 case.

Disconnect the cable from the SCSI-Kit and
check that the connections are correctly matched
signalwise between the 25 and the 50 pin cables.

In case you do not have access to a multimeter,
just use a torchlight lamp and a suitable battery
+ two lengths of wire.

The device is loaded from a ROM on the SCSI board,
so it should be visible in the SCOUT:DEVICES window.

Are you sure that you have connected the Blizzard
1260 board and the SCSI-Kit board in a correct manner?
The SCSI-Kit User Manual warns about residues from
the production process on the circuitboard contacts.

Are the boards brand new?
