Workbench 1.3, FAT32 support failed

Fieldday · 12 February 2018, 09:44

I use an Amiga 2000 with 2 AT-BUS 2008 controllers inside with oktapussy ROM. For quick data exchange I thought a CF card would be the best solution. Well, I downloaded at aminet the fat95 file and follwed the installation steps. After that, I modified DEVS:mountlist and add the commands as descripted on the instruction sheet. I changed the UNIT flag to 2nd.scsi.device and finishd all with #.

First, I mount my cf device with:
mount cf:
this works fine. But when I try to show the directory:
dir cf:
i get this error message:
Could not get information for cf:
Error 115

I don´t have the experience to solve this problem

Maybe some skilled user here could give me further hints?

Be careful, the syntax of the 1.3 mountlist and 2.x is different.
Error 115 = bad number...
Can you provide the mountlist text please...

Fieldday · 12 February 2018, 17:33

Yes, here it is my mountlist:

PHP Code:


			
CF:
FileSystem = L:fat95
Device = 2nd.scsi.device
Unit = 0
Flags = 0
LowCyl = 0
HighCyl = 0
Surfaces = 1
BlocksPerTrack = 1
BlockSize = 512
Buffers = 20
BufMemType = 1
BootPri = 0
StackSize = 4096
Priority = 5
GlobVec = -1
DosType = 0x46415401
#

BlockSize doesn't exist in 1.3, assumed to be 512...

1.3:
BlocksPerTrack=1

2.x
SectorsPerTrack=1
SectorSize=512

Tell if it fixes your problem.

Hi Giloo,
removing BlockSize makes no difference, still Error 115.
I will make a try with a real harddisk to be sure that my CF card/CF reader dosen´t had any problem with the Amiga.

I will correct myself, there ist a little mistake on Device, right is:

PHP Code:


			
Device = "2nd.scsi.device"

Best regards

Tested this morning with an IDE harddisk. Got the same error 115.
What is the meaning of 115 = bad number? Is there something wrong with my CF entry point on the mountlist?

Gilloo · 13 February 2018, 12:19

And if you set HighCyl = 1 ?

Fieldday · 13 February 2018, 14:20

Hi,
I have news, a good and a bad one

The bad one first, it is still not working with the posted configuration.

The good one is, when I switch from 2nd.scsi.device to scsi.device and set unit = 1 (slave IDE port), then is the fat95 formatted diskdrive accessable. It looks like that the 2nd.scsi.device makes the trouble. I can´t explain why, I don´t have the knowledge to figure it out, but I can reconstruct the 115 error message.

I think I would change my IDE chain and use the 2nd controller with PFS filesystem.

Gilloo, thank you very much for your helpful hints. If you want further tests, I would be there

P.S. : Changeing HighCyl makes no difference.

Best regards
FD

Perhaps there is an explanation:
scsi.device is the IDE port (you have the disk !)
2ndscsi.device is the SCSI port (sure you don't have anything in SCSI...)

sorry for delay, no, both IDE controller are AT-Bus 2008.
An very interessting thing is, if you are using Oktopussy, you only need the ROM placed on one board and both boards responds.
