Not so much a Rave feature request, but would love to see Rave's improved file requester rolled-out across the system and support previewing other file types.

Perhaps now you're an official OS4 dev that might happen?

@Hans

That's pretty crap, especially as there are lots of dodgy overseas seller on TradeMe already. But I have found they tend to turn a blind eye to any large volume seller. Years ago I bought a sound card from an NZ based bulk seller. Of course, I needed a specific sound chip that was supported under OS4. When the card arrived, it did not have the advertised chip. I complained to TradeMe about the seller's false listing details, but they didn't give damn.

Good luck, hope you find a buyer.

@Hans

Sent you a pm

@Hans

No luck trying to find who owns the group. I will try Stephen Fellner.

Ah, apologies, I thought you had some involvement in Amiga Auckland.

I have dropped him a line, as well as another former member (who, along with me, was about the only regular member left who actually used an Amiga!). Will PM you if I hear back.

@Hans

No idea, sorry (I'm not on Facebook and Amiga Auckland has dissolved). If you have Garran's contact details you could try him.

@OldFart

There's no limit that I know of. I have a couple of 1TB USB drives (1 NTFS and 1 SFS) that work fine.

I have found that AmigaOS is very picky about which drives it reads and which it doesn't, although the new update seems to fix this.

Check what they have been formatted as. They may be exFAT. If you have access to a PC, try reformatting them as NTFS (which will, obviously, wipe any data on them already).

@Rolar

I thought they were going to release it first and then solicit bug reports?

@Hans

Its kinda tempting, but as I've just burned through $2.5k in a single week, I'll pass. I played around with the Amiga Auckland SAM a few years back, and it was a fun if limiting machine compared to the X5000. Interesting to see how they sell, I think Classic hardware gets snapped up pretty quick.

@walkero

I did have a PCIe network card in my X5000 that worked, although it behaved very strangely and eventually stopped working altogether.

@joerg

Apologies joerg, I will replace with the OS4 Depot version.

Yes, I had seen your message, that was my clue that USB might be the problem. But I don't think I saw a resolution? Was it removing Candi? I don't use it.

But what's really unusual is that this didn't happen right after I installed update 3. It happened weeks later.

@graffQuote:

I'll give it a try.

I installed Update 3 on my X5000 about 2 weeks ago. I didn't have alot of time to rigorously test it, but it seem fine.

Yesterday morning I booted as normal, did some work, and powered down. I powered back up in the afternoon and it would not boot, getting stuck on the splash screen.

I would have this problem from time to time and would just do a reboot and it would normally be fine, but that didn't work and it would consistently lock on the splash screen with the drive access light lit.

I was able to boot into my backup partition which is still on Update 1.

This morning I had the same problem. On a hunch I tried disconnecting my USB devices on boot,and eventually found that it didn't like my WASD keyboard. If its unplugged at boot, Update 3 boots fine.

It's very strange that it just started yesterday, and on every boot. I haven't changed or installed anything since yesterday, although I think yesterday was the first day since I installed Update 3 that I plugged a USB HDD (SFS formatted) into my X5000.

My suspicion is that the new USB driver isn't quite bullet-proof, although why it would suddenly become problematic is strange.

Hmm, maybe a little. I seem to recall I was previously getting around 40-50 MB/s, now fast.com reports 80 MB/s. Still a fraction of what a PC on my network can achieve. It's a pity I don't run Linux anymore, I can't do a like-for-like comparison on the same hardware.

@walkero

Thanks, very helpful.

@walkero

Thanks for the update George. Is it possible to set the keybindings for copy, cut and paste to use the Amiga keys? I tried pressing RAmiga C and the keybind just comes ups as C.

Kevin, my first exposure to ffmpeg was through ffmpeg-GUI. Later I learned to use the command options, and now I use it every day for my job (sadly not on an Amiga). Thanks to you and Mick for introducing me to an invaluable piece of software.

@Reynolds

With regards to your missing USB, check UBoot prefs -> Hardware tab. The motherboard USB ports can be deactivated there. (I bought my A1XE second hand, and the previous owner had, for some reason, disabled the rear ports).

The motherboard USB is only 1.1 (I think,might even be 1.0), so I do recommend getting a PCI USB card. They could possibly be tricky to find these days.

I always had issues with USB file trasnfer until I replaced the motherboard fan.

The latest versions of UBoot is 1.1.4. I got it from someone, can't recall who. Maybe Steve Solie? It adds booting from SATA, which is a godsend these days, and the only "bug" that I know of is a graphical glitch (the text is a little too big for the menus).
