thats what i am talking about, the costs were paid by the dealer from which dealer we do not know (or care) if he has agreed to be repaid by ACube or not, probably in other cases there was no agreement yet for the shipping costs to be passed to Acube from the dealers

@MickJT

just a thought.. How will this system finally work? Acube will send the backplates to the provider to ship them to the buyers??

I am taking a guess here that this hasn't happened yet because of who might cover the shipping cost of these plates to the buyers!! It is obvious that amiga e-shop have shipped to several buyers at great distances around the world... Maybe that's why there is no answer on the matter, because of the shipping costs.

@amije

i tried both. I mainly use the kvm, but i thought it might be a problem and tried the monitor directly. Nothing changed, no signal....

I revive this thread because i committed again the same sin.

To explain: after all this battery changing etc, i managed to get the mA1 working with OS4.1 update 1, when i came up with the "brillant idea" to relocate the board to a mini-itx case with the minimum required components, that means no dvd-rom, just the board + the HDD.

The board worked fine the first time i turned it on, closed the box and from that time on the board turns on, the cpu is working (fan spinning at least) battery is brand new of course BUT there is no signal at the screen! I hear the hdd loading data etc but i could not get a signal!!!

I am guessing, probably a power supply problem (psu is 60watt) but i disconnected everything including hdd + fans and once again no signal! I tried also the remote possibility of using a pci gfx Radeon 9200 but nothing changes!!

Does anyone knows the power supply demands of the mA1 in order to at least know that the psu is or is not sufficient before rellocating once again?

@amije

hahaha! ok, a minor error my friend! Blame it on my excitement!!

Guys thank you all!

It was the same all story with A1's! I changed the battery and the cpu started spinning again!! Unbelievable! I wonder , everything in A1's are battery related??? I'll start setting up my uboot settings again and also the complete system. No need for psu for the time being.

@Paul

300watts?? lastly she worked with 60watts.. it was working before that happened, no noise, no sparks :) nothing, just died...

@K-L

ok, but would this resulted into the cpu fan not spinning?? Just the battery??

@Dwyloc


the funny part is that i transfered my a1 from the mini-itx case to a micro-atx with atx psu standard because i had problems with slim dvd's etc!! So the A1 died in the micro-atx case with the standard 300watt psu and not the mini 60watt!!

@orgin


changed, but a few months ago, should i try a new one again?

Good morning to all!

I had a nasty surprise last night, as i went to set up my micro-A1 in a new case, i ended up with a dead machine for unknown reason..

Facts: i haven't used my system for a while..a long while actualy! - i had os4 (r) set up and just before the machine died, when i tried to boot and install os 4.1, i could get the machine to boot, resulting in several errors.

Also, the mobo green led is on, the mouse has power (its blue light is on), the power switch turns on the machine but the cpu fan is not spinning!

So apart from a "fried" cpu, could it (hopefully) be something else???

@me

got envy, and added a signature...show off!!

@CountRaven

Nice machinery my friend! And many amigans from this forum helped us , setting her up!!

I think now it is only the forth AmigaOne in Greece! Probably the first XE !

I noticed you were talking about Catweazel and Amigaone and i have bought and encountered similar problems.

I have catweazel markIv plus and the thing is that i did the following: i "bridged" the a1 floppy controller with catweazel white-black cable, i connected the CAt with the floppy and then unexpectedly the Os4.1 cannot be started! It freezes and the OS4.1 screen and the drive stays with light on!! If i change the cabling and plug it directly to the catweazel there is no response (light) ...the same thing is when i plug the floppy directly to the A1 floppy controller....:( So i think i never got to the point that i can set up the beta drivers...

Any ideas? Maybe i need the latest firmware update that Hyperion has posted on its website? Has anyone made that update ?

@sundown

My friend you are a SAVIOUR!! It worked with me with conf 2010 and 4.1 recognised the HDD!! I am now installing 4.1 in the A1!!!! At lasT!

EDIT: installed, up and running!

Update 2

Finally i've managed to install AmigaOS4 pre-release with this configuration!! It is ok, and bootable but whatever i try when i boot the 4.1 cd i cannot seem to find the HDD on the A1ide.device even now that it is SFS formatted and ready!!

So, to overcome this, is there a way to upgrade the OS through the OS4 ? Do i have to install a new slb loader? The installation utility for 4.1 does not work when i try to load it through OS4 pre-release....

I'm getting somewhere but i would appreciate any ideas or suggestions

update:

I activated the secondary ide port, i connected the HDD to the port as device 1 and A1 recognises the HDD and boots AOS 4.1 from DVD, but then i came across a different problem: AmigaOS 4.1. cannot see the HDD on controller a1ide.device in media toolbox so i cannot partition the HDD to prepare it for installation!!!

Why????

(the config now is DVD as master in primary port device 0 and HDD as master in secondary port device 1... this is the only one that works , if i change them meaning HDD primary master and DVD secondary master i get the purple screen again...)

@sundown

will try that, thanks! Another issue is that when the A1 starts i get a message "SCSI error...." and then the machine goes to initialize the ide ports...is there something that needs to be done with that message??

@sundown

i cannot seem to make the secondary ide work! The next thing to try is using ONLY the secondary ide but i am not too optimistic about it...probably a hardware fault?? dont know

@CountRaven

no because i finally managed to boot into OS4.1 but i did that without the HDD installed... So i suppose now that the problem is not in the DVD-ROM. The strange thing is that i cannot use secondary ide, nothing is recognised by A1 !! So i find my self with limited options regarding master-slave configuration and cabling...:(
