Near future I would like to buy delfina lite.

My personal site: www.amiga.pekdar.net, it's about my experience with Amiga from 1998 to today. Polish only - sorry. I have a plan to translate several articles to english but it's not my native language and it's really difficulty to do for me. I know there is google translate but this is not to good solution for english readers.

I have firend, He told me He can do translations for me from time to time, so I think this is good solution for me to public english translations form time to time.

Sorry for my terrible english.

Re: Mediator's Driver on AMIGA OS 4.0 CLASSIC

@LiveForIt

I think that the A4000 with SCSI controller is good enough. The FastATA controller for A1200/A4000 is not so slow You think. I have CSPPC with UW-SCSI controller and 36GB HDD working with it. For Me it's fast enough. I like My classic Amiga. SAM is good for people who need it. I don't.
On the page 25 the OS4 manual wrote that Amiga user need one or more work partitions, and a SWAP partition. It's also written about "...is not used in the initial release of AmigaOs 4.0, but you should create one right now, .... when swapping to disk is supported in a future update."

So, if Hyperion had a plan to update os 4.0 for classic with working SWAP, I think They should do this. Even if this update will be the last one for classic Amiga.

This is my opinion.

I think the CSPPC early-startup hooks into a vector that's bypassed by the OS 4 startup (which over-rides the original ROM startup in the same way as those old Kickstart 1.3 compatibility disks worked). If you hold down the C+A+A for long enough to remove that vector (a number of seconds) it'll go through the original bootstrap code and you can run the CS-PPC menu again by holding down Esc as normal.

I think. :)


Yes it works and I knew about that.
I wrote about CSPPC menu problem with hope that sombody found solution.
Thank you for advice :)

I did some tests and found some conclusion. I have two SCSI device.

1. Streamer HP SureStore DAT24 SCSI II
2. IBM UW Fast SCSI 36,4GB HDD

In CSPPC bios both are setup to:
- 15 transfer offset
- 10MHz sync period
- Synchron
- 8-Bit bus
- No reselection

When I turned off (NO LUN) Streamer, reboot and OS4 come up. Guess what?
No error requesters!
So I turned on Streamer and changed "Synchron" to "Async/Synchron". Reboot and now is much better. I almost have no error requesters with read error.

It's really weird that on OS3.9 everythink is OK with or without this change.

Out of topic
Did You know that if you start OS4 then You can't get in to csppc bios?
Anyone have the same?

I wonder if you're using the right dos code for the FFS system... If I remember rightly (can't remember which revision it affected) but even if you selected in toolbox you wanted to use FFS with longname support you had to alter it manually...


I did.

Quote:

check ya config file in your kickstart directly too... perhaps there is some options relating to the PPC that caters to the UW...


Good idea! I will.

Quote:

I run OS4 on my 233mhz PPC too but my UW HD died quite some time ago and I never replaced it...


Why not? Today this discs on ebay it's really cheap.
I have second exactly the same disc for day when my current disk be bad.

I never boot the system anymore since I've gone SAMs way... adios!


Lucky You. I haven't SAM.

As soo as I return home will check the specs of my OS4 partition and re post here.


Would be great. Thank You :)

You probably do something wrong with the specification you are giving to the OS4 partition.


I did the same with IDE hard disc (partition, installation and others) and everything works perfectly. No error requesters. I think I did everything in right way.

OS4 Classic - problem with CSPPC SCSI

Hello,

I have a problem w SCSI controler on my CSPPC card use it with OS4.
My harddisk is 36,4GB Ultra Wide SCSI. Works perfecly with OS3.9 + BB2 and
MuTools.

Today I decide to install OS4 on this disc. By Media Toolbox I created partition 1GB with FFS with long names support. On this partition i set block size to 1024, 180 buffers, Max. transfer to FFFE00 and Mask to 7FFFFFFF and saved settings.
I did reboot like Media Toolbox suggest. After reboot I run installation with
OS4, quick format partition I created and install system. After reboot system loaded, on my screen comes requester with information like:

Wolumen
OS4
has read error
in block nr 687425

This requester comes very often and very diffrent moment when I use OS4.
The block number is always diffrent.
When I try use other partitions with data, I have the same requesters with errors on that partitions. I tryed to change Max. transfer value to smaller but nohing
change. So my very fast SCSI disk is useless on OS4 :(

Weird is that on OS3.9 everythink is OK. I can play games, use programs and nothing bad happend. Są I think this is bug in cybppc.device ?
Anyone have the same problems?

Help!
Regards
Pekdar
