Amiga Emulation / Re: Minimig ITX / TF536 and attempting to use scsi.device on both
« Last post by Dr. Gonzo on November 26, 2025, 09:47:21 AM »
Ah, Thank You for the explanation, makes sense.  I assume it's not something as simple as selecting a different memory region in the source and building new a new .jed for the TF?  Probably beyond my abilities anyway, but I'm grasping at straws as I'd really like to use the 44 pin IDE for the CD and ZIP drives.

Thx again!

There is a big difference between multiple IDE expansions in an A2000 and the mainboard IDE of an A600 or A1200.

The former do Autoconfig which lets the OS assign a different memory address to each expansion. The latter just appears at a fixed memory address.

And that's your problem: both the Minimig and the TF mimic the onboard IDE at its fixed memory address. As the CPU is on the TF, it takes precedence and overlays the same address of the Minimig. You cannot use both at the same time.

My friend who was an Amiga guy says he managed to get the floppy disk data to be decoded by the Blitter with error checking. I am not sure how but he tells me it worked well, he had one value to check at the end and if it was zero then. I also do not know why the data needed to be processed but...

Do you mean an Emulator like WinUAE? Where you can install AmigaOS and Amiga Basic and run this on a PC?

Mean an IDE for writing and testing code, like BasinC for ZX Spectrum.

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Re: Amiga SCSI Benchmarks?
« Last post by jaesonk on November 25, 2025, 04:52:11 PM »
Thanks.

Benchmarks would be affected by the drive used, so that would be worth noting.  Read vs Write speeds would also be worth noting.

In an old email, I found this about GVP T-Rex II 50mhz 060 SCSI performance:

BusSpeedTest v0.19 @ 50 MHz:
41.3 MB/s readm
22.3 MB/s writem

Is there a third-party IDE for Amiga Basic that works on Windows?

Amiga Emulation / Minimig ITX / TF536 and attempting to use scsi.device on both
« Last post by Dr. Gonzo on November 25, 2025, 04:18:37 PM »
So finally finished building a couple Minimig ITX 1.97 boards and am building one up with a TF536 I threw together as well some time back.  Everything seems to be cooperating with them, but I'd like to have .hdf file(s) on the SD card in the Minimig and put a physical CD-ROM and ZIP drive on the IDE port on the TF536.  However, when I have the TF536 installed, I no longer seem to be able to access the .hdf files on the Minimig SD card.  I can see a physical or SD card reader on the TF536 in HD Toolbox and everything works fine.  If I pull it out and just use a 68000 on the Minimig, the .hdf files work fine.  Both controllers use scsi.device so wondering if the TF536 controller stomps over the Minimig's and somehow disables it?  I can't find any other instances of this coming up in my searches, but do see people with multiple physical cards on a 2000 (for instance) that all use scsi.device having to jump through some hoops to get them working together, with some saying you have to disable autoboot to get them to work together.  I don't believe I have that option on either the Minimig or TF536.  Both are on the latest firmware I could find with the Minimig using the TF53x core.

Sorry for the long winded question, but anyone have any experience with trying to do this and/or have any advice to get this going?  Hopefully I put this in the right forum as it's 'sort of' emulation.  ;D

Thanks in advance!
