AOS 4.1 problems on A4000T
I really do not get this.
Have installed this before with any issue. After gotten my Cyberstorm repaired a while a go I have let it be for a while because of other projects. Now I tried installing AOS 4.1FE and I get so far as to run Media Toolbox, right until the moment I try to save it to disk. Then I get "Couldn't writew RDB to disk! Write error in sector 0". I have tried several disks, and even got "new" disk that I would be very surprised of having any contact with an Amiga in their life. I also tried a Jaz drive, and there I could write to disk, but sadly not install to it. Probably tried 3-4 disk, and same problem an all of them. I have active termination at the beginning and end of disk. Only other unit on chain is a cd-rom. Hdd has id 0, cd-rom has id 1,m and Jaz(when installed) has id 4. Tried to change RDBBlocksLo from 0-4, and no difference. Also tried low level format one of the HDDs I have tried, but still nothing. Any ideas of what is going on. Don't have a working SCSI controller in a PC, so can't try via emulation. |

Try HDToolbox from OS 3 or SCSITools from the CybPPC SCSI tools disk.

Think I am going to give up on this till I get a SCSI card I can use in my PC.
Tried most of today to get it working. With HDInstTools I can save and change the HD, but when starting Media tools it claims part of RDB is damaged and something was lost/truncated. I am there for back to start regarding installing OS 4.1 FE. There are also problems with CD-rom sometimes not being recognized. Missing uaefx.device or something like that. This is to my knowledge part of the *uae emulating/custom drivers for the Amiga. Some times it will load sometimes not. Can't understand why it do one thing or the other. AS the CPU is a 060 it's a bit difficult too boot from floppy(gotek), to test from os3 or the cybppc disk as I could not get it to boot. |

Got some news.
Swapped the SCSI cable, and now it saves to disk, installs and boots. New cable is a bit short, and not enough connectors. Very impractical that Phase 5 didn't add termination to the card. Next is to get the Adriane detected and working, and also the ATAPI zip drive to be detected. |
