Re: Request to AOS4 Developers
Not too shy to talk
Not too shy to talk


@pjs

if they (developers) did not get paid for their work (once os4 is for sale and hyperion is making money for example) then that page might be a suitable comparison.

Re: CAMD, OS4 and MIDI hardware

@lylehaze

I received the MT-32 yesterday...sadly without a power adapter.
(I "borrowed" one from my brother which worked but is awfully
loud - guess i have to get me a new one) and with the wrong
sized audio cables (it needs 6.3mm Cinch, i have 3.5) Grrr

Anyway, i just sent in a MIDI song thru DG_MIDIPlayer and it
(the player) actually started counting down the seconds (which
it didn't before when i tried and had NO MT-32 installed on the
GamePort - back then it just silently quit), so i guess it's
finding the hardware?

Although there is no display change in the hardwares display.
Have to check further, when i get my cables...

Re: Make AmiUpdate part of OS4?

@Snuffy

Eh, you may point your question to @Rigo

I'm just the one that drives him crazy

Regarding your question, i assume you have downloaded tha
latest AmiUpdate_upd archive?

There was no icon for AutoInstall and thus no real program
saved which should start it. Notepad is the default on your
system, which is used everytime a program is not specified.

IconX crashed, because it cannot work with Installer files

Change the program to "Installer" instead of IconX and off you go...

Hi @Raziel

I tried installing the latest version of AmiUpdate and it Grimmed right off!
Why is AutoInstall defaulted to Notepad? I changed it IconX and got the GR.

Cheers. The one I have at the moment you can see at the left - used for my avatar. It is Sygygy's "Three Y" logo but it does not leap out at you in suggesting what the programme is about.

No doubt yours will be a *lot* better

Jean-Jacques from AmigaCenter/France can fit the chip.
And fix the mobo. Mine had the chip, so I did the usb/dma fix only. Works like charm. HD is udma5.
But if you have sil, usb hub, and don't need these pci slots, I wouldn't bother.
If you intend to run linux as well: internal sound isn't supprted yet afair, sb - works.

Hi @Jack

It is reported to sport a "floppy drive language":
Massstorage Init | Command language 5 (SFF-8070i (floppy drive)) unsupported

Can this easily be supported ?
I haven't checked my Dynex USB Floppy yet. <report coming!>

Hi @ joerg
> Do you have a Catweazle controller?
Yes, a Mark IV. Too many Grim Reapers!

>If you use CrossDOSFilesystem on the A1 (PC0:)
I didn't do that. I was trying for the whole BattleChess.adf.

Hi @ Severin
>Or more simply, the A1(XE|SE) reads and writes PC format floppies unless you install a >catweasel card which will let you read amiga floppies.

I've been using the A1200 so much the last two months, I forgot the A1 wasn't classic. I'm smacking myself in the head with the keyboard right about now!! I have a Sony floppy that came with my A1. It worked fine with Linux. Damn, it's hard to think PC!. OK, more keyboard adjustment!

Hi @LiveForIt
Forgot to think PC didn't I. <more keyboard adjustments...>

>Buy a Cat MK3 or MK4 this will work whit the driver I wrote, but only in 880k DD format, the driver I have does HD and DD, but is buggy that way it?s not available.

I have a MK4, but it GrimReapers on opening FD0:


@thread
Wow, wasn't even thinking! I see being in a Classic network with the A1 creates a psychological state -- Amiga Schitzophrenia! Gah!!!!
Thanks for the help!

Bingo! It now recognized as mass storage(with final usbmassstorage)
And makecd sees it,but complains about incompatibility (cdr-scsi3-atapi driver)

@joerg

It doesn't show.
It isn't usb_cd0: bts, its: usb0:

BTW: the drive is samsung writemaster.

Hi @quenthal

I just got my first OS4 capable system: A1XE, G4@800MHz, SIL(?) PCI-card, SB and Radeon

"...just got...", wow! I'm going on 4.5 years with the same -- A1-XE/G4 (MPC7451@800MHz).

>1) DMA and USB are not fixed according to seller. I've few questions here, which I'm in the process here to find out by reading older topics, but I put them here too, if someone could point me to right directions...

sii0680ide works fine with FFS2 and SFS 1.276 . I use UDMA3 settings.

>3) CPU & cooling: There is (probably original) heatsink and fan on the CPU, which seems little "wiggly" when I accidentally touched it. Is it normal that it's not nowhere near as tightly attached to CPU as it is with C2D/Athlon CPUs? What do you recommend if I wanted quieter and more efficient cooler?

Don't base your CPU life expectancy just the Sunon heat sink and 10mm fan. Get a Zalman 40mm fan like I did; SilentX stuff is good too. My Pictures:

(Note to myself: Shop for a new ATX case; this one is old and cheap!)

>5) Other recommendations or possible pitfalls when fiddling with OS4 and A1 hardware?

If I understood you correctly, you completely integrated the former SFS2 into SFS >= 1.275 by using the DOSType CFS\02 now.
DOSType 'SFS\2', 0x53465302.

Yes, but unless you have software which supports files larger than 4 GB, wich is very unlikely especially on AmigaOS 3.x, you shouldn't use 'SFS\2' partitions, especially not such a large one. There are no recovery tools for the new 'SFS\2' format yet, and even if you use a 2nd SATA2 HD for backups creating and restoring 500 GB backups takes a lot of time ...

If I understood you correctly, you completely integrated the former SFS2 into SFS >= 1.275 by using the DOSType CFS\02 now. That way I should be able to format a harddrive of 500GB with OS3.x to its whole size into single partition. I tried so with Amithlon (OS3.9.2) on my ASUS A8V Deluxe which has a supported SATA controller onboard. The drive shows up correctly in HDToolBox and can be fully prepared there. But I am not allowed to make any partition bigger than 128GB. Did I understand the Changelogs and your calculation wrongly? Can it be addressed in future versions to make use of the whole drive as one single partition?
