Trying to use a Toshiba usb hard disk in Risc OS

No luck, so far…
Using Colin’s USBDescriptors (Thanks for this program, and with sources! Something like this should be present already in the system, in my opinion):
Running !Hform and selecting S for scsifs devices gives: no hard discs configured or detected. With !PartMgr (Thanks to Jon Abbott for this program, is great) I can initialize it with a FileCore volume of 256GB, but the system will not recognize it anyway. Any hints to make riscos work with this disk? PS: I can’t make notextile (tag) work inside pre (tag) up there… and block modifiers (no tags) like “pre.” or “notextile.” don’t work here, so the output is a little screwed by +, --, &c. |

Not much help but the USB descriptors are standard USB mass storage. scsidevices shows that SCSISoftUSB has recognised the drive and the capacity has been read from the disk – info not available via usb descriptors. So nothing obvious is wrong. Is it a power supply issue? |

Yep, old BOT, not UASP. The thing is that !PartMgr can manage it correctly, so I wonder what layer of the OS is choking on it. The disk is externally powered and works ok under other OSes. |
