I'm relatively new to Amigas and could use some guidance. My setup includes an Amiga 600 with the A604N expansion, Indivision ECS, a compact flash IDE adapter, and a Gotek floppy emulator. Everything was running smoothly until I installed the new Furia accelerator. Since then, I've been unable to boot from the compact flash, and I've heard that this could be due to the need for a faster flash card. I can still boot from floppy ADF images, although not all of them seem to work, though I'm not sure if this issue is related to the recent changes. Interestingly, if I boot from a Workbench ADF, I can access the hard drive. Now, I'm keen to use Furia Tune to optimize my setup. My question is: how can I get Furia Tune onto my disk? I apologize if this sounds like a basic question. I have Amiga Forever, and I'm wondering if it's possible to create an ADF with Furia Tune on it using Amiga Forever.

I have removed these new versions from all my systems. I still use OS3.9.

I know it's problems and it doesn't do dirty tricks to me.

I was under the impression the A2000 needed for the -5V for the boot process.

The A2000, as with other Amigas, only needs +5V to boot normally.  If you want audio output and RS232 serial, then you need both +12V and -12V as well.  Most floppy drives and mechanical hard drives need both +5V and +12V.

The A2000 also needs the 50Hz/60Hz tick signal that normally comes from the power supply.  It won't boot without it as this timing reference increments some of the hardware timers.  For non-original power supplies that don't provide the 'tick' signal, you can change main board jumper J300 from external to internal which drives the timer from an internally derived signal instead.

Hello,

I'd like to use my A2000 to connect to a PCengines router. The router talks through the serial port at a fixed speed of 115200. I've read other places that this speed is too fast for the A2000. Does anyone know if the limitation is from CPU+custom chip? just CPU? Can I install an old Zorro II GVP I/O card (parallel + serial) to get a higher speed? With the serial processing handed off to the I/O card would I be able to achieve the needed speed?
