A500+ with Developer PPC 603/150 & Amiga OS 4.0?

@Sveta

Hehe - I knew you would have known if you had thought one more second. It was just out of your sight ... wish you luck with OS4 Classic on the developer-PPC.

Hi,

@Granada

I don't know my actual Map ROM jumper position - on my screen grab is 127.5 Fast RAM - jumper already ON?

Today night - new test and then info here...

Hi,

My Blizzard 2060 has had already MapROM really ON (127.5 MB Fast RAM) and I have now test with MapROM OFF - Problem with BootLoader continue.

Regards, Sveta

Hi,

I have test with real ROM 3.0 A1200 version (2x IC) in Micronik Zorro II BusBoard Kickstart switch - again BootLoader Problem.

ROM 3.1 A1200 not working in Micronik BusBoard Kickstart switch - power led flash.

All Kickstart ROMs are original.

OS 4.0 Classic need ROM 3.1 or 3.0 also OK?

Hi,

@Rogue

Please, how adjust OS 4.0 Classic kernel + loader for Developer PPC?

Possibly help from you?

Quote:

OS4 for classic does not, and will not, support the A500 or A2000, and will not support pre-series developer PPC boards.

Sorry, but that's a fact that won't change.

@billt

True, the A3000 is supported as well.

@Sveta

Quote:

It doesn't matter what Wikipedia says. There are only three machines supported:

- A1200
- A3000
- A4000

If it works on any other machine, that's a coincidence and not intentional. The A500 is certainly not among the supported devices.

As I already told you in private mail.

I was wrong by the way, MapROM needs to be *off* not on. Otherwise, the mapping mechanism isn't available to bootloader.

Hi,

@Rogue

Okay. Thanks for your answer and sorry for my query about A500+ support...

Hi,

@tfrieden

Thanks for your answer.

@Sveta

Sorry I caouldn't see the pictures from your Amiga 500+ with this PPC card, besides I don't understand the czech.

Hi,

@Templario

You needn't write sorry - no problem make more hardware Photos A500+ DevPPC.

My first main work is testing with OS 4.0 Classic, next Photos & video come later.

Last today status with A1200 ROM 3.0 + MapROM OFF on Blizzard 2060 - constantly BootLoader error...

I don't know what need (hw checking?) BootLoader and how make eventually BootLoader "modification" for A500+ board

Please for all: Sorry my bad english.

@Sveta

Did you hook up a serial cable and see what exactly the output is?

in your startup-sequence, where the line c:bootloader is, add this:

c:bootloader COMMANDLINE="debuglevel=10 serial"

note that this will slow down the machine because of all the serial output. You could try debuglevel=5 for a bit less output and a bit faster response.

Hi,

@HammerD

Thanks for good idea.

c:bootloader COMMANDLINE="debuglevel=10 serial"

or

c:bootloader COMMANDLINE "debuglevel=10 serial"

I have null serial cable (from my work - here is for flashing SAT and DVB-T recievers) and no output in Terminal. (XP Hyper Terminal)

Sorry for query - on OS 4.0 Classic install CD is more SS - who SS is main?

Regards, Sveta

@Sveta

I think it's COMMANDLINE=

Hmmmm

I just picked up one of these Microtech towered A500 systems in the weekend (an auction I just won recently)

So tell me (since I haven't open the tower yet) does this turn our standard A500 or A500+ into a fully fledged B2000?

Thanks for any insight

Edit: It's okay now, I opened it, curiousity got the better of me since posting... It looks very nice inside and sports a FPUless 030 (not sure on the mhz) but it seems to have memory and was made by microrobitics 1991...

Got the A590 and A500 memory expansion and all inside...

Anyone know where I can get the manuals for this? The docs supplied are unfortunately in german...

@Sveta

Thank you I'll wait your pictures, because I'll like see your Amiga 500+ with PPC, yeah, this is as put in one PC 286 one Pentium 100, but Amiga is possible and in PC not.

hello everybody,

It probably wont work!

Bootloader only needs 3.0 ROMS
MAPROM Jumper needs to be OFF
Set RAM to 70n/s

Bootloader is failing most likely because the it cant use a kicklayout file that matches your hardware as there is not one for A500
Eg Kicklayout-A1200 for A1200 or because its a developer PPC.

You could try and install it manually and modify it. rename the kicklayout-a1200 file to "KickLayout" and delete the kicklayout-3000, 4000 etc and comment out all the machine specific A1200 stuff like carddisk etc

Its unsupported hardware but saying that I have gotten OS4.1 _KickStart_ ,not WB, to boot on an A500 with a ACA500 + Non DEV BPPC

You should have opened a new thread.
