A4000 with X-Surf-100 [SOLVED]

[highpuff]

Hi All!

I bought an X-Surf-100 this week from GGS-Data in Sweden (thanks for the excellent service btw) but sadly I have ran into some issues. When I start with the card as Zorro III, it all looks and seems ok until I fire up xsurftest and/or amitcp (v4.3).

I know that the card works since it does work without any problem if I strap it to Zorro II-mode.

The following has been tested

• Different Zorro slots in my Amiga 4000
  Different device drivers from the lha archive (even those in the amitcp folder).

Can I debug my Amiga in other ways? I have tried SnoopDos but it doesnt indicate anything wrong with the applications I start.


My configuration

• Amiga 4000D
  CyberstormPPC 060/50 128Mb RAM
  CyberVision PPC
  Indivision AGA MK1
  Kickstart version 40.68
  Workbench version 3.5 (44.2)

See attachment in this thread from SysSpeed and XSurfTest.

Any ideas on how to move forward?

Presumably -11 buster?

Do you have the correct 060 library installed?

How about posting your startup-sequence?

[highpuff]

Yes, I have Super Buster version 11, see the attachment.

Version of my 060-libraries:

• 68040.library = 46.5

• 68060.library = 46.15

Startup-Sequence:

Your first port of call should be the Individual Computers support email BTW.

[bubbob42]

Start the Amiga without startup-sequence, run setpatch, run xsurftest.

Btw. you must not run xsurftest and a TCP-stack at the same time.

[highpuff]

@bubbob42:
Tried it but it still crashes, I got a little further tho. I think I will remove all hardware from my A4000 and do trial & error later. What's still bothers me is taht it works in Zorro II mode and not Zorro III.

Btw. My mainboard is version B.

[bubbob42]

Did exchange the mainboard's capacitors already? How's the status of your battery?

[highpuff]

@bubbob42: Doing it right now and the MB looks re-furbished. Also checked the U103 chip and it seems ok, no changes.

[bubbob42]

Have the SMD caps really been replaced?

Do you have other Z3 boards you could test? If your X-Surf is working in Z2 mode then I'd say it's not a problem with the card itself, since you've got the original daughterboard.

Did you try different slots?

[highpuff]

They seem new and if I check pictures on internet on revision B boards it's not the same capacitors. Too bad I don't have another Z3 board that I could test with.

Yes, I have tried all other slots and also checked everything on the mainboard. I will continue looking.

[highpuff]

Case closed!
It seems like it was caused by a bad jumper on J104 and also that it was set to INT instead of EXT. Strange thing is that when I put it to EXT with the bad jumper it did not start so I thought it was mislabeled due to that the CSPPC should not even start when CLK is configured to INT.

Anyway, thanks for the help!

[fitzsteve]

Yeah I think CSPPC will start with the INT clock and causes all sorts of issues, I think I read about PicassoIV only working in ZII mode and the user had the same mistake.

Please to hear it's resolved and thanks for sharing the resolution

[bubbob42]

Great to hear and have fun with the card!
