Hi,
UPDATE: Found the cause (see below for original problem) but now it brings up the question why this is happening...
A2091 on an A2000. 540 meg SCSI Quantum HD. Drive tests good with no errors on PC or Amiga, verifying sectors and bad blocks. However randomly when I copy files on the Amiga from this drive to a second drive, whether internal 2nd SCSI drive OR internal 2nd SCSI drive or to something like a Jaz or Zip drive, the drive will sudden just run on a file until it fills the HD completely and then errors with out of space.
If I delete that last file it was copying, (which takes it a long time because the file is now the size of the HD itself), I get all the space back and if I try again the same file will copy just fine. So it is not a file specific issue... This happens randomly any time I copy a bunch of files. I can do this in shell manually copying, using DOPUS or even drag and drop on Workbench.
Anyone have any idea what this might be caused by?
Original issue I wrote about:
Original issue for my post: back again.. Was nearly done getting this A2000 rebuilt. Had everything running great. Yesterday, I upgraded the Agnus (NTSC) and Denise to ECS versions. Those test out and work just fine. However, after the first boot, I must have bad seated one of the memory boards I put back in and ended up with a initial machine wig out caused crash to weird diagonal display on monitor, type situation. Powered down, pulled the memory boards, reseated them and it then booted up fine again. However the machine now acts like it lost 75% of the Workbench files. I.E. most will not execute and are not recognized as a program anymore. Everything from the simple stuff like calculator to text edit to just about every other executable, all error as invalid files and won't run.
Anyhow ever seen anything like this before? I am on 3.2, latest kickstart 47.xx and as I said, just did the agnus and denise upgrade.
*DISCLAIMER: Do this next stuff at your own risk.
For anyone thinking of doing that upgrade, it can be very confusing on the exact right steps because there is a lot of conflicting information out there.
NOTE, for rev 4.x/5.x boards NTSC, simply remove old Agnus, plug in new agnus, move jumper J101 to pin 1-2 shorted, cut J500 pad. That's it. DO NOT cut J102 to remain NTSC. If you are PAL, set the J101 jumper to pin 1-2 short, cut J102 and cut J500 as well.
For Rev 6 boards, It is the same thing but note the jumpers are NOT in the same locations so be very sure which jumpers and pads you are working with on rev 6 boards. Move J101 to 1-2 short, LEAVE J102 shorted, remove jumper from J500 for NTSC. For PAL, cut J102.
