Title: subway usb on a1200 working then not working
Post by: fidelTFG on May 24, 2008, 09:58:13 PM

hi all, I just got a subway usb adapter and installed it in my a1200, for the first 20 mins it worked fine, then after a reboot, seems to have died. I tested it out with a mouse and a usb CF card reader and it worked fine. but no noting shows on the WB when I plug in the card reader and the mouse fails to power up at all, does anyone have a clue how I can fix this?

thanks

This sounds like a lack of power.  Is it used with a desktop or tower system?

no, its in a wedge case. It worked fine last night for about 20 mins, but this morning, nothing.

What does Trident report?  Is the Subway online?

You should be using a high rated PSU with this otherwise you could put significant strain on the Subway / motherboard.

You need to install MUI- you also need to ensure PSDStackloader is loaded from ENVARC: on Startup of Workench.

I have MUI, and user-startup says

ENVARC:PsdStackLoader


where should that file be located on my HD?

thanks for the help BTW

Path in:

Sys:prefs/env-archive/psdstackloader

Install MUI and run Trident
