A600GS & A1200NG / Re: A1200NG Wireless mouse issues and Amiga keyboard question

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…

     On my A1222+, v1.50 seems to rotate the objects more quickly.  I don't know if it's because v1.50 has improvements over the older versions or if it's due to the fact the A1222+ has OS 4.1 FE, Update 3 installed recently.  Anyways, very nice...!  :)

Thank you for your nice feedback. I did not modify the 3d viewer.

Do you have friends who have Apollo Standalone or Apollo A6000 (with ApolloOS)?
I would like to know if the program runs on the Apollo system.

Hi,

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?

Hi all !

I'm looking a for CD32 owner(s) for checking my new cd.device :

==> https://leblogdecosmos.blogspot.com/2025/12/cddevice-4030.html

You need to have a real CD32 (no emulation) for checking CDs, doing benchmarks, verify files integrity...

You can use of course LoadModule for loading my new versions, or burning in eproms, as you want...

I already have many new versions, need deep checking now !

Amiga Hardware Issues and discussion / fastata and 4gb devices?
« Last post by lorddef on December 14, 2025, 10:48:42 PM »
I recently resurrected my a1200, and when I first set it up I the fast ata device wasnt loaded, I configured 3 paitions of 1gb, 1gb and 4gb.

I've noticed now the fastata is loaded and working the 3rd 4gb partition is showing uninitialised.

In HDToolbox I now get lots of 3.9gb devices I vaguely recall this but it was over 20 uears ago and I've forgotten.
 
Whats strange is the first device still shows larger than 4gb when I select it. Whats the best way to straighten this out?

The U177 clock input (pin 9) should always have an AC waveform on it, so your DC meter will be trying to read the average voltage.  I can't say if 0.5V is normal or not, as of course you need an oscilloscope to actually see what's happening.  An AC waveform with an average of 0.5V and 0.5V DC will measure the same on a multimeter, you won't be able to see the difference between the two.  The meter should display some kind of AC voltage if there is a clock waveform present, though what's displayed will depend if the meter shows a true RMS reading or not.  You really need the correct tools to diagnose this kind of problem at this level, it's like trying to explain how to change a wheel on a car using a pair of pliers because you don't have a wheel brace :)

I wrote this RTC repair guide a long time ago, you could follow the continuity testing parts:
http://amiga.serveftp.net/RTCrepair.html

If U891 (in the fast memory interface) has been subject to corrosion, it would be worth removing that to see if the system starts booting or not.  Though there won't be any fast memory present.

Failing that, I do component level repairs if you want to send the main board to NZ.  Contact me for an estimate:

If you can ask the 'powers that be' again, I'd be grateful, I've not seen it on the store yet.
