im very impressed with amigasys4 i tink its great.

many thanks.

Go to the amigasys menu, and go settings. Undersettings select CD/DVD Drive setup and scan for your drive. It should find it, aslong as it acts the same as a PC.

lol, always a good idea. Use screenmode to set it to your monitors native resolution (using screenmode in prefs folder).

can someone please tell me how to turn off the "screensaver"? it fades dark after a while of inactivity, but also while playing some games.. regards!

In wbstartup folder, move matrix file to dh0: or some other place or just delete it.

Ebster · 08 August 2009, 11:29

i am using amigasys4 under os3.9 and unfortunately there is no "matrix"file in the wbstartup-folder. hmmm... what else could it be?

Sorry, its "MTX". Remove that and it will stop the screen saver.

I think the screendimmer option in MCP is activated.
Start MCP prefs and deactivate it.

Interesting, I have never had this, only the matrix code screen saver.

Wanted something to play with @ some free time so I installed AmigaSYS 4 Live on a small USB stick on my Home PC. Everything went smoothly except the CD / DVD drive support that sadly is not there.

There is menu that helps you to mount the CD / DVD inside the Workbench environment of AmigaSYS but every unit I tried I got the message uaescsi.device can not mount device at Unit X.

I found out that uaescsi.device is not a real file that I should place on the devs directory but part of the UAE.

I thought that a small check and edit on the .uaerc file of UAE should do the trick. I found the scsi variable that should have been set to true and a scsi_device variable that should contain the Linux path of the CD/DVD Drive, at least that is what I discovered searching on the net.

Ok this small Live AmigaSYS first boots a Linux Distro (perhaps a GNU one?) Which command should I use to see how my DVD drive is mounted on this Linux Distro? Both DVD drives I got work perfectly when I put a CD inside the drive after quitting UAE and remaining on the Linux desktop.

Beside the settings on uaerc file any other idea or suggestion will be useful.

EDIT: Actually I think the problem is uaescsi.device it appears to be nowhere.

Thanks!

Will Amisys install and run fun on a real A1200 with 6MB ram?

Yes it will if you install the A1200 version. Go to dary's website and download the A1200 version.

Excellent thanks

I just found out about Amigasys 4. Looks great! The number of pre-installed Internet programs is huge, but is there a tcp stack (MiamiDX, AmiTCP) pre-installed? Couldn't find the info...

I'm planning to use this on my real A1200 030@50/128Mb

Just want you to know the included 060 libs when installing with support for CyberStormPPC card is not the latest ones which are available from unoficial Phase5 support site.

no, it is not. i am currently working with genesis which can easily be installed afterwards from the os3.9 cd.

Ok, thanks Ebster

Hi

I have just started using this. This is a great pack. The only thing I cannot figure out is mounting my Pc drives under Winuae. Normally under my standard workbench install I can get them mounted automatically via Winuae but for some reason they are not showing up in Amigasys, even though I have selected the mounting options under drives. I even tried manual mounting but that did not do the trick as well.

thanks
