Roadshow for 68K -Needs your support!

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Yeah long as the price isn't very much I would definitely support it and any new Amiga software products anyone develops

I'm with you!  Dang it, all you folks resurrecting the Roadshow thread.  I always recommend it to people but have yet to try it for myself.  Can someone clone me, so at least then maybe the other 'me' could spend a little more quality time with the Miggy's?  :lol:

On the bright side, sounds like TheDaddy is making good progress on his latest keyboards and custom keycaps project.  I'm excited to hopefully get mine soon!

I'll go ahead and say Roadshow does rock!  Seriously, if you have a network capable Amiga, get it right meow!  Seriously night and day performance between Genesis and Roadshow.  Plus, I always hated that you I could never quite get Genesis to start on boot up, but with Roadshow it basically did right away.  Boot up the Miggy, and immediately I can browse, use IRC, etc.  I know he's released at least one bug fix update since I downloaded, I should check again once I have my Miggy back to how I want it set up.

I say if you have the money, even if you don't really need it (for example you only use WinUAE, which has it's own bsdsocket setup) you should get it.  I actually recently bought HDDriver for the Atari ST.  1) because I wanted the best to partition out my Falcon.  2) because I wanted to support the guy writing software for our beloved platforms!  Oddly, I think I bought a copy of it many many moons ago, but I'm not sure (I know it was one of the different hard drive drivers, just can't recall which one!)  Good times!

Dag-gummit.  So my old install of Miami apparently didn't seem to like my new '060 card, and decided it only wanted to work about half the time, so I figured I'd give Roadshow a shot.  Of course things never work out like they're supposed to and I'm getting the following two problems:

(1) Execute S:Network-Startup seems to take about 30 seconds to complete.  If I run it as part of User-Startup it won't let Workbench display until it's done, and

(2) AddNetInterface X-Surf-100 gives the error message: "Could not add interface "X-Surf-100" (Object exists)"

This is with the default config of Roadshow, no options changed other than the first text file (bumped the buffers up from 32 to 64).  I also tried changing "unit #" to 1, no difference.  Other settings are all still at their default for DHCP, etc.

....Next I also tried renaming the DEVS:X-Surf-100.device file that came with my card to ".old", and then "AddNetInterface X-Surf-100" fails with "Failed to open "bsdsocket.library" V4".  I confirm that I have bsdsocket.library version 4.310 in LIBS:.

...Next I tried commenting out all the Assigns for the legacy Genesis/AmiTCP/Miami on my 3.9 setup, now "Execute S:Network-Startup" completes in a second or so, but "AddNetworkInterface X-Surf-100" fails with ""X-Surf-100 configuration attempt timed out".


I've been at this for two hours already.  Obviously I have some conflict with either the Genesis/AmiTCP stuff that's installed as part of 3.9, or my Miami install.  While I continue to poke around at it, anyone have any suggestions?  It's never easy, but this is why we love our Amiga's, right?  Thanks!  

Edit - strike all that.  After fighting with it for 3 hours I decided my time was better spent working on getting Miami running right again.  Maybe if someone wants to point me in the direction of a "dummies guide for Roadshow" I'll give it another shot sometime.  After I've had more coffee.  

Bah, now I understand what the other guy was complaining about Roadshow leaving directories all over the place.

All I did was install it using the installer. Go to storage and take the MediatorFast from the configs and put it in the real devs location. Rebooted and I was online. Thats was it.

Did that, only in my case it was the X-Surf-100 file.  No love, and no end to the string of error messages.  Oh well, after some tweaking Miami is now working better than ever.  I even fixed AWeb and got it working now, too!  :roflmao:

I'm glad I read your post before trying it, as I have a similar setup.

LOL. By all means, try the demo. Just give yourself a couple of hours to mess with it if it doesn't work "out of the box", as they say. Think my issue was compatibility issues with my previously installed TCP/IP programs, since my system is pretty heavily tweaked. Dunno, will try it again when I have more time.

Wow, some unexpected understanding

Hi I bought Roadshow a while ago and it was easy to install and works like a dream on my Amiga 1200 and my Amiga 600 and is the best thing I ever bought.   oh but I do have to write Netshutdown if I play games but that is worth the effort to watch both my Amiga beauties surfing the Net,Brian

Do US customers exclude the 19% tax in their payment?

I am now using the x-surf 100 file with mine and same thing, just worked once I moved it to devs. There are two files to move! One in devs for the card and another that goes in networks. Be sure to get them both in correctly!

[mindprober]

Acill,

Since I know you are in the US, did you need to pay the tax as well for your purchase?

Just want to be sure so I do not overpay.
