Professional slacker!
|
Maybe you could try building a Custom Rom and using the ACA's Maprom to remap it from an image?
My Blizzard 060/PPC won't boot when I patched the scsi.device but I ended up getting a FastATA MkIII so don'e have to worry about that anymore... |

I'm already glad I'm not the only one
Thanks for the idea fitzsteve. I'm quite newbie but I will look at how to do that. But if the great creators of ACAtune could eventually have a look ... that would be pretty cool :-) |

Thanks mfilos !!
Unfortunately, that does not work for me. I tried all the ROMs on my A1200 and it does always the same: the screen goes red and the power led blicks, and then reboot. But I managed to have the ROMs work in WinUAE ... Any idea ? |

Red color flashing means: ROM error.
Make sure that the ACATune declaration is the first line in your Startup-Sequence. Even the slightest load before it, will mess the memory alas the kicked image of yours won't load properly and you'll have issues. Use the following declaration to test your kickstart images: C:ACATune -maprom <Your_Custom_Kick_Path> -cache on -burst on >NIL: example: C:ACATune -maprom Devs:kick31.rom -cache on -burst on >NIL: If it doesn't work also, maybe the kickstart images aren't correct. I wrote a guide for you to be able to make one on your own here: http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?t=11935 |

ACATune is really at the first line.
I even removed the top comments as I became paranoid :-) Well well well ... I'm gonna try to make my own to see ... I also have another A1200 unit to compare ... in case of ... BTW, which version of ACATune do you use ? Last edited by Graham Humphrey; 14 May 2011 at 14:52. Reason: Back-to-back posts merged |

Jens, do you know more about this issue with scsi.device and acatune ?
Or is it an issue with loadmodule ? because acatune seems to execute fine. But the following "LoadModule scsi.device" crashes the machine... ---- Edit ----- Ok, I made some "progress" ... I realized that I forgot to remove the kick 3.0 jumper on ACA 1230 board. After I did it, no more red screen ! Unfortunately, the custom ROMs still don't work. After the maprom, the following happens: - reboot - screen goes orange - sçreen goes black - power LED blicks ... And reboot ... And loop to orange screen ... When I use the standard 3.1 kick, the machine boots but don't start on my CF (error is "Not a valid DOS disk). Does that mean that a disk formatted with kick 3.0 does work with 3.1 ?? That sounds rather strange ... I still did not understand why custom ROMs dont work (they seem to work in WinUAE). Any idea is welcomed. Last edited by dreamybxl; 15 May 2011 at 11:32.

They do work just need to do it right got a pm from a guy and he helped throught it. Now I have a custom rom that works.
I think the trick is to only change out the scsi.device on that tutorial. Keep everything else standard. |

Ok, I also got my custom ROM working. Here is the procedure I followed using lastest Remus:
- Make sure that the "kick 3.0" jumper is set on the ACA1230 board - Grab the contents of kickstart 3.0 - Create new ROM project (standard 512K, with checksum) - Include all modules from original kickstart 3.0 EXCEPT "scsi.library" and "icon.library" - Include patched "scsi.device" version 43.24 - Generate new ROM - Copy "icon.library" from kickstart 3.0 into "libs:" - Make sure the first line of startup-sequence is as follow: ACATune -maprom <path-to-rom> p -cache on -burst on >NIL: Reboot ... and it should work. You may do a similar procedure with kick 3.1 of course. Thank you all for your support ! |

Problem with acatune :
Error : ACA Card Type Unsupported. Of course the aca630 is inside the Amiga and the acceleration is there. I have also removed acatune from the startup-sequence but once back in the WB the problem is the same. Any ideas ? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1566495/Amiga/Acatune.JPG |

The fact that with a tiny software you can change a lot of settings, and map Kickstart ROMS on the spot... makes it not only a useful application but a damn essential one! |

@jens
Sorry, I didn't knew I couldn't ask to the ACAboys if they had an idea about this problem. Problem solved without calling the Resseller. I thought it would have been helpful to share the experience. I thought it was the goal of a forum. Sorry again |

I believe that if you can tell how did you solve it in a single post it won't hurt anybody but on the contrary.
