So I managed to get the system up and running yesterday (did I mention that the first thing I did when I got it was to open it up and removing the battery? It was a real mess. I cleaned the motherboard a bit to. A new ni-mh is waiting for me at the post office. Right now it is without a battery, and looks happy with that.).
The accelleratorboard had ofcourse come loose on the long trip, and it looks like the connector has taken a beating. But reseating the card twice did the trick.
I installed wb3.0 (in the lack of 3.1 roms), and after a lot of trying (and a lot of failing) I got the scsi cdrom up and running, and the picasso.
Oh joy.
But a friend of mine told me that by installing blizkick and loading a 3.1 rom file, I woulde be able to install OS3.9.
It looked promising, the picasso installer allowed me to install it (while it use to quit saying that I need 3.1 roms).
When I click the os3.9 installer icon it loads up the funky background, and the installer box appears at the bottom right. Ajiff starts loading top left, but when that is done the box where the welcome image is supposed to go is blank and the system crashes giving me a guru.
Guru also appears if I try to boot of the emergency disk or os 3.1 install disk.
So I guess blizkick is not a good option after all, and that I need to order some real roms today?
If someone has a pair of spares they would like to sell, please send me a message. If not I'll order from amigakit.
Will the os3.9 emergency disk be able to use my scsi cdrom (cybscsi.device) automagical? Or do I first need to install os 3.1 and fix this myself first?
