Title: Help with drivers for Ameristar (A2065) drivers.
Post by: Dalamar on May 17, 2004, 06:17:33 AM

I have the card but no drivers for it.  I have it installed in my A3000 here but it's more or less useless.  Can anyone help me locate a driver setup for it?  I'm trying to install it under OS3.1

Thanks.

Drivers come with AmiTCP and Genesis (probably Miami also).  Or, you can download the SANA2 pack or updated A2065.device drivers from Aminet.

Yes Miami has the drivers for it, it comes up as an NMI device (I'm drunk and I hope I have the letters in the right order lol)

I did find the SANA2 pack with the device file, but I have no idea what to do with the files.  I'm afraid I'm in the dark here, and the readme files all contain info about including the files in an installer (for developers I gather).  I just need to get the device installed.  Any help on what to do with the SANA2 pack would be much appreciated.

The a2065.device file goes into Devs:Networks (although there is nothing hard coded to this area).  Then you need to configure your TCP/IP stack (ie. AmiTCP, Genesis, Miami(Dx), etc.) to use this device.  

If you don't have a TCP/IP stack installed then just run the setup and use the setup/wizard.
