What app or tool are you using that properly shows the Temps for the AmigaOne X5000?

Hopefully you can get this issue fixed.

Thanks

It would be so nice if one day we all get one new Amiga OS 4.1 MASTER that has all the original and updates that is part of the new Installer so one does not have to piece-meal all of this.

That is a nice dream to have.

Seems wonky after all this time we have to go back to Square One to build things back up to a updated form that we can then build back onto.

Use any of the USB ports on your motherboard, not a USB port on the case. Any of them should work as long as your keyboard is one that works.

My experience as I noted before is the X5K is picky on keyboards that worked for getting one into early boot. Even if the keyboard is one that came with your X5K does not guarantee it was tested for early boot either.

Once that boing ball at boot starts to spin and do the animation, try ESC key and even Space Bar.

I had one keyboard that worked on ESC key while another using my Space Bar.

If that fails on all of the motherboard usb ports, your keyboard may not be one that it likes for early boot access.

Just my tips as I only found a couple keyboards that worked for me over the years owning an X5K.

Your mileage may vary. Good luck.

TJ

Yeh I find my nicer RGB keyboard can't get into early boot yet a $6.95 USB keyboard I purchased from Fry's before they closed works fine.

I have found one of my older Apple USB keyboards also works, wired model of course.

Very hit and miss for me.

TJ

Such a Fun game and a THINKER and Puzzler as well.

My 1st go at Glubble.

Did you all see the smoke coming out of my noggin on this one?

Played on my AmigaOne X5000 with AmigaOS 4.1 via RunInUAE.

I had a issue like this when I started playing with early boot and trying to get AmigaOS and MorphOS installed and dual booting. It seems after shutting off the system it kept trying to and wanting that USB Stick that had MorphOS on it connected to boot. Without it it refused.

Trial and error I finally had it allowing me into early boot again and selecting the Amiga OS button to boot from and then all went back to normal.

Wonder if it saw a USB stick with an OS on it and want's that back or else.

Just an idea is all.

How about doing a USB Reset in command line from the early boot screen? Pretty sure I did a number of those when I started having an issue like this.

TJ

*as a side note, in my dual boot X5K, the system remembers what OS it last booted to so if that was MorphOS, I don't need to get to early boot again unless I want to go back to Amiga OS to select it. So to me it seems to me it no longer sees a USB stick it wants to try and boot from and is refusing until it sees it again.

@AmigaOldskooler

Enjoyed.

And thanks for adding a few snippets of my adventures in the mix.

I often wear my Atari shirt at Amiwest.

Call that Brave or Insane or Both?

haha

TJ

@328gts

Yeh, 15 years in Amiga is like a total NEWB. haha

That is kind of sad at the same time as in some fields, 15 years means a very long time.

At least with Atari I can say it has been 45 years and as I depart this message...

Atari Rulez!

hahaha

WormHole for MorphOS...

... What Is It?

an EASY way to transfer files on your local network between MANY platforms!

MacOS - AmigaOS - MorphOS - AROS - Windows - Android

TJ

@lazi

Thanks

I never unchecked those boxes and confirmed mine had the Enhanced checked and it is working today and testing now.

Maybe when I tested it was unchecked but today it works so maybe it was.

Will report more later.

Small files went zippy quick in transfer. Large files like a 600MB is taking a very long time but slowly workings its way over.

Mac Pro 2019 and AmigaOne X5K running MorphOS 3.19 and the recent Wormhole.

I would guess this 600MB has taken 10 minutes already and is only at 350mb transferred so far. I am transferring to RAM disk on the X5K.

If a speedup is able to be done, this Wormhole application can be really nice.

Thanks for the hard work.

TJ

Would any of this usbctrl make or break early boot access on some keyboards? I have some keyboards that refuse to get into early boot while others work fine.

TJ

Thought I would try the MorphOS version today.

Would not launch and get this error.

Screen doesn't support alpha transparent windows!
File: Wormhole.hws (current line : 1353 - In Function: Open Display)

Running MorphOS 3.19 on an AmigaOne X5K

As a side note, I tried the newest Mac OS version as well, and still have issues with any files of size. Just seems to lock things up to a crawl.

I have Candi in AmigaOS running and when a transfer of size starts, the whole Candi desktop becomes a crawl and halts and stops in any animations.

Just a note is all.

@Skateman

Not sure if others have this issue but I have several keyboards and for me, ESC does not work at all but a spacebar does.

Is the Early Boot supposed to be accessed but ESC or Space or either?

I have some keyboards that just plain won't work yet others work.

Example, a nice RGB keyboard that won't but a $7 Fry Electronics cheapest keyboard does.

My clear G4 Cube USB Keyboard does but that one won't let me boot from a USB stick but will get me into early boot.

Ah the Voodoo of these sorts of computers is fun.

haha

TJ

This is really neat. I am only really a Next Gen Amigan BUT if this device lets me buy some of these Homebrew Amiga games that come out on floppy and play them, I may have to buy one of these!

I am starting to play some ADF and older games these days on my X5K.

TJ

Is there a way to tell what version of NGFS actually was done on an old drive or no?

TJ

@joerg

When you mention author to get the current version, are you meaning Hyperion?

I purchased my X5K back in 2016 and have done all the updates to date, but unsure what version I used to last partition my drive. I know I did a reinstall of all couple years ago but may have been the 2016 version is my guess.

I need to look but who do we reach out to to get the current NTFS if we are current X5K and Amiga OS 4.1 licensed owners?

TJ

@Maijestro

Ah funny, I own zTools. I need to go grab that again. I did an reinstall a number of years ago and forgot I owned it. Hopefully Amistore remembers. haha

TJ

Maybe I am missing it but is there some progress meter inside or that works with WormHole that shows how much transfer remains for the larger files?

TJ

@Maijestro

can you tell me the names of the apps you had in your top status bar that showed the speed of your network transfer.

I want to install that.

Thanks
