Epsilon's Amiga X1000 Blog

[Epsilon_]

Hi All,

For those who are not aware, since 2012 I actively maintain a blog dedicated to Classic Amiga and NextGen Amiga systems (all flavours).

I try to cover projects and look at new releases of interest, as well as hints and tips on how to get things working on various Classic Amiga and NextGen Amiga systems. The link is here:

In the last month I have been focused on Classic Amiga project work, with my recently bought Amiga 1000! Here are some direct links to recent posts about the Amiga 1000:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/gotek-floppy-drive-emulator-on-amiga.html

I also took a look at some AmigaOS 4.1 software released on my AmigaOne X1000 in the last month or so, and a two part coverage of the installation process for AmigaOS 4.1 Final Edition on the X1000 - some of the direct links:

I will update this thread when I have new blog posts so people can keep up to date.

I hope you enjoy it! :-)

I have added a new blog entry with more details about my  X1000 Troubleshooting process since my CFE flashing issue on Easter  Friday.

It covers what I was trying to do and the  troubleshooting steps done so far, as this information may potentially  be helpful to other X1000 owners troubleshooting problems.

Link is here:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/x1000-troubleshooting-and-repair-part-1.html

I hope to have my X1000 fixed and working again soon!

Hi All,

I have added a new blog entry this weekend, looking at a 2MB Comspec expansion I bought and using it to run Kickstart 2.0 on my Amiga 1000!

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/amiga-1000-comspec-2mb-ax2000-with.html

I hope you find it interesting! :-)

Hi All,

I have updated my blog this weekend covering the build  and setup of my new Sam 460CR system, which I bought while waiting for  my X1000 to be fixed (which is with Varisys at the moment).

I  also setup my A4000D while waiting for it to arrive - the X1000 sure  leaves a big hole since it stopped working, and I miss not having it to  use. The Sam 460 goes someway to helping with that while I am waiting for the X1000 to be fixed.

I hope you enjoy it!

Hi All,

Hi All,

I have added a new blog entry this weekend, taking a first glance at the newly released MorphOS 3.8 on my Powerbook G4 and SAM460CR.

Link is here:

http://amigax1000.blogspot.com.au/2015/05/morphos-38-on-sam-460cr-and-powerbook-g4.html

I am still very much working on the SAM460CR build with more to come no doubt - I hope you enjoy it.

@itix

Sorry I couldn't respond on Morph.zone regarding some helpful pointers from you and others, but the site appears down at the moment.

Not sure regarding the french in the status bar in Ambient on the powerbook either - it was like that a few MorphOS versions ago when installing the Chrysalis pack on a new install. I only use English, and checked the settings to confirm it is English, and only English in the Locale settings. No idea where the french is coming from!

I am keen to get the Envy24HT working on the Sam 460CR ...not sure if the elf openpci library is needed or not. also, the library. has .elf at the end, does that need to be renamed openpci.library to put into dh0:morphos/libs - nothing else has .elf so I assume so...

I guess if MorphOS can't find the card on boot then it doesn't appear in the MorphOS sound options to choose from...well it hasn't appeared for me yet anyway! Any other suggestions to get it working? I am all ears! :-)

Hi All,

Today I have written a blog entry showing the new firmware upgrade released by Acube Systems for the Sam460CR, installed today on my Sam 460CR!

Link is here:

You could try PCIScan (shell command) to check if it is seen by MorphOS. If it is then it is probably problem in openpci.library...

Thanks - I ran the pciscan command as suggested. It looks like it only sees a pci-e to pci bridge - doesn't appear to see the pci-e audio card itself...

Not sure what else I can do to get the sound working.
