Symptoms of timing problems

[Matt_H]

Fusion is crashing on my A1200. At first, I wasn't surprised, since it's not the most stable piece of software on the planet. But after eliminating all potential software problems (virtually base install of 3.9.2), the only problem left I see is hardware. The Blizzard1260 and SCSI Kit in the machine I know to be good, as I used them in another 1200 previously. The hard drive is good, the floppy drive is good, the only thing different about this setup is that this is a Rev 2B board (possible timing issues), and my other was a 1D.1 (no timing issues).

Since it is emulation software tied heavily to the Amiga chipset, could it be timing problems that are preventing me from getting this going? The exact symptom is that the system locks completely as soon as the Fusion Control Window pops up on the Workbench.

By tied to the chipset, I meant that it relied heavily on the Amiga's native architecture (yeah, there were P96 drivers, but bear with me). The odds of getting this going under OS4/MOS seem very, very small.

I'll give it a shot on the 1D.1 board when I get some free time.

The only reason I preferred Fusion to ShapeShifter was that it was slightly faster and had the option to force the emulation to quit if the Mac side crashed/hung.

Will try ShapeShifter later tonight. Anyone ever used Basilisk?
