Archos Over Drive PROBLEM

penfold_t_mole · 20 February 2010, 23:41

Hi all,

I bought a bundle of amiga stuff and part of that bundle was a Archos Over Drive and i just tried it out and it doesnt work. I plugged it to the slot and then also plugged the lead into the back of the drive and into the diskdrive port. Then i swich the power on, the over drive starts to power up and then after only 5 or 10 seconds it powers back down to silence and a blank screen. Please does anyone have any ideas here?

Thx

J

Did you installed the drivers?

penfold_t_mole · 21 February 2010, 02:04

No, i think its just meant to plug into the size of the amiga and work,

Nope.

Thaks for that. I had a read of it and theres no mention of software being needed but there is a download link to some sort of software. THx

The Overdrive has a builtin partition called " :" (one space) and on that partition there's a file called " " (two spaces) which should "mount" the harddisk. The overdrives didn't work with accelerators though iirc.
