Hydranet on A4000 hack

rkauer · 21 April 2009, 00:59

Can someone point me the needed hack to make the Hydranet 1.1 ethernet board work on the A4000D?

AFAIK it is called an Amiganet by Hydra Systems (Not Hydranet)

I assume you've already got an 10BASE5 (AUI) to 10BASET (RJ45) transceiver?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=250410006501

And installed the drivers?

http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/amiganet2000

And a TCP/IP stack such as Miami DX, Genesis, AmiTCP?

Yes, everything is checked:
- Amiganet 1.1 + AUI transceiver;
- OS3.9 + BB1 & 2, plus other fixes for the 3.9BB2, plus "BB3";
- Genesis + Samba (correctly configured) already installed and ready to go;

But I know the A4000 need a physical hack to make this board work...

Oh, ok.

I'm sure you've already done it but all 6 of the jumpers must be set to ETHERNET not CHEAPERNET.

It also has to be the last card in the zorro chain which I think means it must go in the bottom slot of an A4000.

Is it really so? I thought the chain starts from the lowest and ends at the top slot.

Dunno for sure, hence the "I think".

What I need is the "cut two traces and join them somewhere" hack that I know is needed to make the board work on A4000. I know the jumpers on the board must be all closed to use AUI (15 wires, which can be "transceived" to 10baseT(X)) and all open to use 10base2 (old ethernet on today's standard).

I am not to sure about your terminology. There is no open/closed with 3-pole jumpers. ALLthe jumpers need to be on.

Code:

1  . . . . . .
   | | | | | |
2  . . . . . .

3  . . . . . .

All Jumpers set to 1-2 = 10Base5 (AUI Ethernet)

Perhaps ask this guy?

And in others claiming the 1.1 board model must have a hack to work on any A4000.

OK, my bad. Where I said "closed" I mean AUI-selected. Where I said "open", read 10base2 selected. Alex, sometimes you are too much exacting/painstaking!

I'll do, certainly. If he still is around...

Sign of a good engineer. You wont here us utter "But I thought you meant...".

rkauer · 24 April 2009, 17:46

Right, I wouldn't like if someone point me wrong traces to hack.

You get your point.
