Title: 3000T Buster Issue?
Post by: don27dog on February 27, 2013, 01:07:13 PM

I currently have Fast ATA 4000, Deneb, and Zorram installed in my A3000T. The computer will not boot with all 3 installed. FastATA and Deneb boot fine. Zorram and deneb boot fine but I can not get all three to boot together. I currently have buster 7 installed. Will superbuster 11 fix this problem?

According to the web site at amigakit.com...
zorram requires buster11 "for 4000" (opps)

Only for the 4000, it says not required for the 3000.

Zorram ran fine with buster 7 for me in my a3000D for a year or 2.. Then i tossed in a buster 11 just for giggles and just in case for these sorts of problems to avoid.

Have you tried changing the order of the cards?

Could it be a power supply problem (too many devices and an ailing power / weak power supply)?

Last Night I tried them in different orders. No luck. Deneb will boot with either of the other two cards. I can't get Fastata 4000 iv to boot with zorram no matter what order the cards are in the zorro slots. I ordered Buster 11 to see if it makes any difference.

Most important issue: Buster 11 allows only one active busmaster (details can be found here). Take care especially in the A4000T: the internal SCSI controller is basically a A4091 and counts as busmaster!
If your system has Buster 9 mounted, you can operate the Fastlane Z3 as additional busmaster besides DENEB in DMA mode. Moreover, the Buster9 mode must be activated in Poseidon, or if started from FlashROM, the Buster9IdTag must be included into FlashROM. Details on this issue can be found in the Poseidon manual.

If the Fast ATA is a Busmaster Card you could configure the Deneb to not be busmaster.
