Kickflash problem (can it be wiped?)

X-ray · 18 October 2009, 13:35

I haven't used my Amiga for some time and now I find that if the write jumper is closed on the Kickflash, I can't boot my A4000T. It goes into an endless reset loop (after the blue screen flash)
If I open the jumper, boot, then close the jumper and try to run CoyoteFlash, the Miggy freezes.
This happens no matter which slot the Kickflash is in, and I have also tried removing all other Zorro cards, changing slot sequence etc.

If the Kickflash is out, and I run Coyote Flash it correctly tells me there is no Kickflash, and the Miggy doesn't hang.

I have a Subway connected to the clockport on the Kickflash, and it works fine all the time. I have tried without the Subway and I still have the Kickflash problem.

It seems to me that the contents of the flash are corrupt. Is there any way I can wipe it or reset to factory?

I have left a message for Jens a few days back, waiting for reply.

@X-Ray

Have a look at CoyoteFlash in the Zone. It should help you sort it out.

Thanks, Davideo, but unless that is a different version from what I downloaded from the Individual Computers website, it won't help. Running Coyote Flash hangs the Miggy

I recently purchased one of these from another user on a forum and on my first startup had a hang when using CoyoteFlash.

I then found there are two versions on the web kicking about. One has more software updates than the other. The one in the zone is the one that eventually worked for me.

Also in the zone - just in case - is the KickFlash instruction leaflet.

I'll give it a whirl then.
