@lost_loven - Did you ever get the original DOM to boot?

Nope.. But got email from Jens to try cleaning my daughter board slots and I was waiting for the ok to try in other ide  port. And the master slave switch on the DOM doesn't effect nothing apparently. Will try after work today.

[lost_loven]

I didn't clean anything (will on the weekend), but did swap over the dom and no go there. Maybe I just wait for the firmware update and the Amiga JTAG tool to carry on.

Cheers

Anyone try the public beta yet? If so let me know how it went!
Google translate actually works sometimes on chrome :roflmao::hammer::rtfm:



from A1k.org

Now. Is sometimes difficult when I am the last healthy person in the house; Woman and both children sick greatly reduces the available working time.

First public beta: http://wiki.icomp.de/wiki/File:BuddhaSCSI.lha

Please with the flash tool V1.3 import. And please also test with old buddha flash controllers.

A little getting used to "old customers" exists because NO IDE doubters are supported anymore - we need this to have access to the interrupt-enable register of the individual devices. This also makes the unit numbers more intuitive: Master on the first port is Unit 0, Slave is Unit 1. Master on the second port is Unit 2, and Slave on the second port is Unit 3.

In addition, there is no difference between ATA and ATAPI devices at the device name: it is consistently only "buddhascsi.device". CD-ROM mountlists might need to be customized in two places: the device name and the unit number.

If you have a Picasso IV, please also test it: The old ROM was not compatible with the Picasso IV, because there was just a guru on power up. That should be gone now too.

I have to check the CPLD update again: I'm currently having trouble with a Silversurfer on the clockport of my test controller. I still want to find out if they come from the CPLD update, or if the part is just wobbly in itself.

So, I cleaned my contacts on my daughterboard (and the connector on the motherboard to the daughter board and still no love from the DOM.

It doesn't even show up on the boot menu.

lost_loven - maybe you'll have different results -- If yours still doesn't see the DOM,  I can't help but think that our similar setups may be something to consider...

Maybe its the 040? I pulled everything out but that. Maybe I will give a try on the weekend. I flashed card and didn't see DOM.  Didn't see 160 gig drivenow either. But It did see 80 Wd drive but that was it. Could'nt partition or anything. wouldnt let hard drive install.

[lost_loven]

So confirmed. I pulled out my 3640 and the Dom is recognized and Boots up the Dom when selected an early start up. So just got to get the CPL updated to go along with the new Flash!.. Ugh

from Jens .. .

We're working on a method of how anyone can really do the CPLD upgrade themselves: I'll give you (and other customers) a free cable that you plug into the Buddha and an Amiga port. Then you start an Amiga software that we also deliver, and the CPLD update is over.

We should deal with it next week. The cable is simple, can be built by anyone with a little soldering experience. And who does not have this experience, wait until we send the free cable. The fact that I have already released the CPLD upgrade is only "up-front" for those who already have this special equipment at home.

By the sounds of his reply on A1k he already knew but stated that the A3640 does work with the upgrade.  ..

So that being said I took my scsi2sd card out of the A3K and put it inside along with the external cd-rom I have and using system like that for now.... making way and space for IDE drive and cf card in the A3K. Have a 500 gig sata drive sitting here ready for install and mother load dump of software on it..:rofl:

[lost_loven]

Getting tired of waiting to... Debating making my own cable also..just bought 120gig ssd to toss in. Killing me looking at this thing lol

[lost_loven]

Yes there is a firmware update and also a CPL update with the cable that goes from the card to your parallel port

[lost_loven]

I read over on a1k.org Jens said it didn't matter what order it had to be done in.

Quote from Zick Doctor  Show contribution
First flashing and then CPLD?

Or better vice versa.

Jens  - This makes no difference.

From what I read on a1k everyone who has did the updates everything has worked out.. I am waiting for the cable from Jens and my Sata adapter to come in. Then Deciding on the Sata SSD 120 gig or the sata 500 gig to install on Pics and Vids will be coming!

[lost_loven]

been a few weeks....

@ lost_loven

did you get your cable yet? anyone else on this side of the pond get it ?

From what I read they are mail out now.. I haven't received mine yet but hopefully any day! Then the hardware porn I will post! I also read that there is a disk provided to and both flash upgrades are newer than what is on Jens site.. So we shall see!

[lost_loven]

How long have you guys been waiting? Let me ask you guys this if it wasnt an amiga company would you be this patient? its rather absurd at this point.

If this wasn't a amiga company, I would be all out mad and looking for a refund. But also knowing its a amiga company and things do happen and/or gets over looked for older hardware I do have some forgiveness and I have other products from Jens that work great and his support has been very good in my eyes. He replies to all my emails and answers them timely. If this was some other bigger out fit like I said I would probably rampage.
I ordered pretty much day 1. I can wait, no rush, I have a ton load more projects on the go to keep me busy.  
But the day the cable comes in, my poor wife won't see me for awhile as  hide in my office with BEER in hand...

GO JETS GO!!!!!!!!
