Title: MiamiDLX and VarIO problem!
Post by: Dragster on April 01, 2003, 07:57:02 AM

Hi everybody,

    I have a problem with MiamiDlx 1.0c when I use it with my VarIO. This is my setup: Amiga 1200 Power Tower, BlizzardPPC 603e@240, 060/50, SCSI II, 128 MB RAM, BVisionPPC, ZIV busboard, Highway USB, VarIO, XSurf Ethernet.

    When online (DialUP) browsing the WWW with IBrowse2.3 or sometimes when using VNC miami just stops working (all connections die, no modem light flashing), like if the VARIO would have hung or something. This behavior also happens with genesis. So, when It happens I have to reset the machine (without droping the line) and reconnect and everything then goes back to normal until the problem happens again... anyone had this problem before? Could it be something with the VarIO? The busboard? Weak PSU? Any advise will be highly appreciated,
   
    This happens under AmigaOS 3.9 BB2.Patches: Blizkick, MCP,
Stackattack2, HSMathLibs, KingCON, TitleShadow, OutlineFont.


thanks!

Daniel

No pb here with VarIO and Miami3.2b with nearly same HW as you. Better ask directly people at individual computers, they know alot.

Change miami to use your serial.device or the built in serial-driver and plug your modem in to it.

If the problem still happens you know its got something to do with the modem.

If it goes away its the VARIO

You could run miami init again and select haynes 14K modem.
Don't let the speed confuse you its just the init string for the modem your interested in.
It should affect your browsing speed but give that a go to see if that cures your problem.
