Got a GVP 4060 and 5 minutes?

Damion · 16 November 2011, 03:49

Hello,

In an attempt to assist a busy coder that has generously offered his time to remedy a nasty bug with this card, I'm hoping to find a volunteer with a 4060 (T-Rexx II) that can run some code and email me the output. A Willem and a bit of spare time would also be very much appreciated

, though not an absolute requirement.

Please shoot me a PM for full details.

Thank you!

Just curious... What is the nasty bug that you are looking to fix?

Thanks.

Dude! What aren't you getting?

ajk · 28 March 2013, 08:21

I sent some output to Damion a long time ago. He sent me a couple of chips with the fixed code to test, but I still haven't got round to it. Soon, I promise!

Great! I need to know if there are issues with this board I just bought

The bug is related to not being able to load file systems from the RDB (rigid disk block). It's nothing that will prevent you from using the card as long as you stick to FFS, ie. the AmigaOS default file system.

Thanks for explaining. I will be using WB3.1 FFS. I have a 4GB CF, 1 - 1GB partition and 1 3GB parttion, FFS So all should be good

please read here. toni may create a pfs version you can put in a selfmade kickstart.

Damion · 04 April 2013, 09:16

Yes, the fix works perfect on the 2060, fingers crossed it does on the 4060 too... LOL!

videofx · 04 April 2013, 22:12

damion, How can I get the fix to test on my 4060?

emufan · 05 April 2013, 20:00

the fix by Doobrey: GVP tekscsi patch. read the readme.txt file inside the archive.

Marmes · 07 April 2013, 00:52

Works on 4060DT

Just love this board!

videofx · 08 April 2013, 04:02

Thanks Emufan for that. I hope to have my card tomorrow. I will dump the EPROM with that patch and fix it

emufan · 08 April 2013, 22:26

videofx: when you run the command, you get a fixed version of your eprom - this you have to burn with an eepromer. the tool cannot flash the eprom. if you do not have such device, maybe a member here , close to you, can burn it for you.

videofx · 09 April 2013, 03:20

Yes , I know I need to burn it into a 27256 EPROM. I burn eproms all the time for my Atari and my BBC. I have a DataIO eprom programmer. The only problem is I cant burn a chip like the one that is on the board. I may have to just stick with FFS

TjLaZer · 09 April 2013, 03:46

what kind of EPROM does the GVP take?

videofx · 09 April 2013, 05:41

Here is a pic of the eprom.

Marmes · 11 April 2013, 04:52

I burned an atmel 27c256R , it just works excelent!

videofx · 11 April 2013, 19:04

I would have to buy an Atmel programmer and chip then figure how to desolder the chip from the board and solder in a new chip.

I don't know that its worth it
