Title: Exact uses for eFlash 4000 card
Post by: awe4k on March 06, 2005, 06:44:41 PM

Hi,

I got an eFlash 4000 in my A4000. I use 3.9. I flashed it with the rom update and with BB2. Well, instead of resetting twice at bootup, it resets once, but it still does once, while I'd like it not to reset at all. Also, I'd like to have USB and PCI cards (Mediator) working upon startup. When I got the card I believed that all of this was feasible.

Can it be done? How? The docs on the CD that came with the card are quite technical, and I am no expert (yet...).

Thanks!

The computer has to reset to make the rom update active. The eFlash just moves the reset from the end of the boot process to the start of it.

The eFlash docs is of no use. Read the Poseidon docs to learn what is needed to make it resident. There is also a shell script coming with Poseidon which uses the List command to get all needed files together.

You might want to have a look on eflashutil (http://de.aminet.net/aminetbin/find?eflashutil) on Aminet, it has an option to add Poseidon to the eFlash ROM.

Bye,
Thomas
