This shit makes me fucking fume. The seller clearly has read this thread but is perfectly happy to scalp everyone

If the seller reads this: fuck you

I think (hope) no one will buy this bundle. Nearly everyone who is interested in this topic knows this thread her.

Option one is to buy the bundle, cancel the deal and get the real name. The rest is a matter of time and research. Another option is his link to the wiki - a easy to find information about such rip offs, or link to such auctions in the official wiki will safe others.

Ok, so this is just general Amiga information, don't be offended if I restate things you know.
ENVARC: is just the place on the HDD where the contents are copied to ENV: in your RAM drive.

So if you open a CLI and just type env: you should have stuff in there like env:sys/screenmode.prefs
or env:sys/ahi.prefs
So for the purposes of the sonnetlib you just make a directory called sonnet in envarc:
like 1> makedir envarc:sonnet
The configuration flags are actually just text files in there that you can create with a text editor or canonically like:
1> setenv envarc:sonnet/Harrier256MB=1
This is creating a flag called Harrier256MB, with a file content of just the number "1".


When you reboot your startup-sequence copies the envarc: dir to ram:env/ and assign env: ram:env
So if someone says hey try setting EnStackPatch for the Sonnetlib, you'd say:
1> setenv envarc:sonnet/EnStackPatch=1
Envarc: usually resides in your sys:Prefs/env-archive/ dir.



Regarding your configuration, usually I would not recommend putting the SWAP jumper on, unless you're sure you have to, or have a pretty good reason to think you do.

Thanks for the info especially about the swap config jumper I’ll try it with it open

[Timtheloon]

so I need Swap config closed due to my Fast ATA it don't like it open

So here is Getinfo


showconfig



pciinfo part 1



Pciinfo part 2



And is this how my env should look?

[grelbfarlk]

Yes that looks correct. Delete that Harrier256MB "file" you do not need it, a "0" is the library default, I was just curious if it changed anything. Please check the LEDs on the PPC board when you turn the system on.

Ok with the LEDs it seem to have a flash of the green led when turned on and orange stays on then a flash of the green when activated

Ok I also put another jumper on the ppc and it’s tight on there if the jumper is of there is a lot of activity on the green LED

[grelbfarlk]

Ok that is correct, with the jumper fitted a brief flash of the green LED is normal on Power-On. So it's not that.

I tried filling my ram disk it didn't like that so it defo is only 128mb

You are using Build 431 or later from the Git? Also are you using MMULib, also what 060 library?

MMUlib is installed doesn't it upgrade the 060 library?

im using the newest Sonnetlib from the Git

[grelbfarlk]

Yes MMULib can replace the 060 library if you tell it to.
From a CLI do a:
version file full libs:68060.library
And from the MMULib tools directory, run Muscan and show us the output.

Here you go



And thanks for all your assistance on trying to help me get this working correctly

Grab the latest from the git, 436.

is this the 68060.library or a newer copy of MMUlibs?

I was talking about the Sonnetlib git. Build 436 from the git should error on your system but force 128MB after a reboot
Also TinyMenu I see on your desktop has always caused instability for me with Sonnetlib, I would recommend not using it.

It looks like you're using ClassicWB, so do this:
1) Copy this powerpc.library that is attached to your system.
2) After a COLD BOOT as in turn computer off, wait 30s, right click somewhere on your desktop Edit Hex
3) FileX should come up, Open Grab Memory and enter for start 100000 end 100008
See what value you have there.

Hey you did it

I reinstalled the MMULibs from the link on the Git

I added your PowerPC.library did the restart didn’t need to go further because the memory was correct

Now showing this in show info



Think that’s me for the night it’s 1 in the morning here

Thanks ever so much for your help
