Retina Z2 Install

[Kepler]

Hi all,

So until a new Kickstart version arrives, I decided to try installing the original Retina-23.dms software from the Amiga Hardware Database. I first converted the dms to an adf file. I have tried to install the software from both my WB and Work folders. In both instances the attached error appears:

Are you still running Kick 2.0 and WB 1.3? Readme from Retina-23.dms says that it needs the OS 2.0 or newer.

[Kepler]

OK. I am using Kickstart 2.0.
I will install Workbench 2.0...

You might want to go to 2.1 software if running 2.0 ROMs. It will more closely resemble modern AmigaOSes. 2.05 and older are kind of in-between 1.3 and 2.1 with some common concepts missing (such as the devs/storage directory structures) that some installer scripts take for granted.

[Kepler]

Thanks Jope. I assume WB 3.1 will not work with a Kickstart 2.04?

[Jope]

True, it will not work properly under the older ROM.

[Kepler]

Thank you all...I managed to complete the installation and now have an output on my card.
Does anybody know if there is a tool that can tell me how much RAM I have on the card?

[Jope]

Probably fastest is to just look at the card. Of course this won't indicate whether all of it is detected.

1 MB setup: every second socket (1, 3, 5, 7...) is populated with a 256k×4 chip (414256)
2 MB setup: every socket is populated by a 256k×4 chip (414256)
4 MB setup: every second socket (1, 3, 5, 7...) is populated with a 1M×4 chip (414400)

Yes, I saw this except that with mine, every second socket is populated with a 424402 chip.

That should be a 4Mbit Chip
