Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / Going crazy - Trying to use two Chinon FB-354 floppy drives in A2000

« Last post by techhusky on December 15, 2025, 04:13:43 PM »

I just (finally) added a Gotek to my main A2000 setup. Now I'm trying to move the Chinon FB-354 that was DF0 in that system to my spare A2000 as DF1, with an identical FB-354 as DF0. I am having no luck to get these drives to work together. I've tried multiple jumper configurations, switching the cable positions, open/closing J301 on the motherboard. I'm not able to locate documentation for the FB-354.

Does anyone have a similar setup that works? My main system has the Gotek as DF0 and a Matsushita as DF1. The Matsushita has a different jumper config than the Chinon, so I can't use that as a reference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried Aladdin 4D for AmigaOS 3.x and 4.x, which has a built-in 3D object converter?

Do you have friends who have Apollo Standalone or Apollo A6000 (with ApolloOS)?

I have friends in the Amiga User Group of Victoria (AUG) who have Apollo Vampire V4 standalones. They are located in Melbourne, Australia.

Merry Christmas!

So your just after some one to test it, to see thats its still all working ok?
There is no changes etc etc, just code optimisation to reduce size?

Yes, and only this is already a big work...

One quick example with the original (20 bytes) :

Quote

_BCDtoBIN
move.w d0,d1 ; isolate one's digit
andi.w #$000F,d1
lsr.w #4,d0 ; isolate ten's digit
andi.w #$000F,d0
mulu.w #10,d0 ; multiply ten's digit
add.w d1,d0 ; add one's digit
rts

This one is faster or not (14 bytes) on a 020 ?

Quote

_BCDtoBIN
moveq #16,d1
divul.l d1,d1:d0
mulu.w #10,d0 ; multiply ten's digit
add.w d1,d0 ; add one's digit
rts

Or maybe this one (18 bytes) :

Quote

_BCDtoBIN
unpk d0,d1,#0
lsr.w #8,d1
mulu.w #10,d1
andi.w #$000F,d0
add.w d1,d0
rts

Good question, isn't it ?!

It’s US layout. Also, the keyboard works perfectly on real Amiga hardware.

That option is for Windoze keyboards with a missing second windows key, as your amiga keyboard has both left and right amiga keys it should work fine without it.

True. After some more tests, it doesn’t need that option.

It still seems to me as the Amiga keyboard isn’t mapped correctly. Doesn’t recognize the “\” key, the “help” key is identified as the right “Alt” key and it also doesn’t recognize the “(“ and “)” keys on the numpad (“NumLock” and “ScrollLock”).

I tested the keyboard with Amiga Test Kit.

The user @birko70 reported this issue with OS3.2.3 but it seems a system wide issue.

It ought to just use the mouse by default unless told not to. Could be something glitched and that default option got unselected but I'm not sure how that would happen.

After a few more tests, it seems to have been a glitch. It’s working fine now.

I also found a few more glitches on Amibench. Sometimes when it starts the background image has some graphical glitches on the left side of the screen and it doesn’t always mount the usb stick. An Amibench reset usually solves the issue.

I’m also using the original Amiga keyboard. On the initial setup I left the option “105 key generic keyboard” and ticked the option “use alt as amiga key”, since I saw this on a video. Is this configuration correct? Haven’t tested every keys but the keyboard works in general.

That option is for Windoze keyboards with a missing second windows key, as your amiga keyboard has both left and right amiga keys it should work fine without it.

After fiddling around some more with the settings, I found out that I had to use the option to configure controller on the main UI, to let Amibench “know” which port my mouse was using. A bit odd that if the UI knows there’s a mouse being used, doesn’t automatically apply that setting to everything…
