Hey guys,

As you may or may not know, I have a rather sexy looking AmigaOne XE.

It's not had a lot of use recently, but I decided to power up the other day and I think I've got a few issues.

Firstly, not so long ago, the machine decided to take ages to boot up - it boots the U-boot ok, loads kickstart and then takes ages to load the WB.

When I tried to defrag and use mediatoolbox, it crashed.

So I figured a rebuild was in order but couldn't be arsed so left it since the machine still booted and allowed for use of OS4 nicely.

Now, the machine does not detect the keyboard or mouse - the machine boots as normal but U-boot complains about no keyboard

if I fiddle with the connection sometimes it works but I think there is something fundamentally wrong!

The mouse does not work at all and the keyboard is never seen in OS4 now (i.e. it does not work.)

the fan sounds a bit crappy but always has done as it is original - I have not tried another kb as yet but wondered if anyone else had had this problem?

Is is a tell tale sign of HW failure or something else?

Hmm, how do i unmount a driver safely?
assign DD0: dismount (?)
Does this also tell the device to stop polling?

(The clicking sound is as enerving as it ever was)

And i assume that mounting two DD disks at the same time is
also not good? (i.e. PC DD and Amiga DD)

I don't have a second drive here, just playing with one floppy.

Is there a way to incorporate the CW drivers as with the
A1Floppy.device? (Having two [three, four, five] devices on
screen - FD0, PC0 - but only one is readable?)

Now, the machine does not detect the keyboard or mouse - the machine boots as normal but U-boot complains about no keyboard - if I fiddle with the connection sometimes it works but I think there is something fundamentally wrong! The mouse does not work at all and the keyboard is never seen in OS4 now (i.e. it does not work.)

....

Tonight I will try a different kb, but it seems weird that both mouse and kb are playing up, almost as if somethings either got fried or shorted out.

Thanks in advance,
Rude!

OS4 doesnt support 680x0 processors. How compatible will the "emulation" be with old 680x0 software (f.i. Kick 2.0 -> ).

My PPC setup is 210mhz (I think) and I have 256 mb fastmem with Mediator and Voodoo3

Is it worth the trouble getting OS4 or should I wait until Amiga Inc. (or other developers) releases new hardware?

Well there is two version of the cw.device, the one you downloaded does not support auto detection of DD/HD,

The version I have for where long time, do support auto detection and MSDOS disk, but has serious memory corruption problem, which is way it's not uploaded.
(Maybe because, it contains dynamic lists of blocks, and not static sized disk buffer)

Note most of the setting in your mount list is automatically quarried form the CW.device, I don't think you need Geometry information in the mount list at all,
(In the same way, as when you insert different sized USB sticks.)

(Surfaces, BlocksPerTrack, LowCyl, HighCyl, BlockSize)

Note if you mount HD and DD disk at the same time, you probably get conflicts when write to one of the devices, so don't do that

Its the same battery as always

About my linuks I'm using PC... so I don't know you want to listen about my config? ;). My PC it's to new for Linux :(, after loading kernel (from CD), computer doesn't see the CD-rom any more :(... (nothing help... maybe you :)...
