DENUB USB adding USB Classes

[Matt_H]

I don't have Trident in front of me, but I think the thing you need to be dir-scanning is SYS:Classes/USB.

And if you have Poseidon in the FlashROM, you'll need to reflash it after you save Trident's settings in order to get the updated PsdStackLoader into the FlashROM.

Why are your file names written in all upper case? I don't know if this can cause your problem, but it's not ok.

I agree - this is probably related to your problem. What filesystem are you using / did you use to bring the Poseidon install files over to the Amiga?

I think that device names are one of the few case-sensitive things on the Amiga. Poseidon probably doesn't recognize those files as being valid.

EDIT: If case sensitivity isn't the issue, you may have lost the correct permission bits on the files - please check what they're set to.

Great! You might also consider reinstalling directly from the Poseidon archive, just in case there are other issues lurking around - check Devs:USBHardware for case issues, too.

The Deneb didn't ship with a CD, so it looks like either whoever made it (previous owner?) used an old ISO9660 standard which doesn't support case correctly, or you're still using the CDFilesystem that came with OS3.1 which also doesn't support case correctly.

EDIT:

For your next issue, if dm9601eth.class is what the device is binding to, it's the correct class. EasyNet might be hardcoded to a limited list of drivers that dm9601eth isn't a part of. Look around the EasyNet install files to see if there's a config file somewhere that shows valid drivers, and add the new one (check the Poseidon docs to see what the name should be). Talk to AmigaKit about it if that doesn't work.

The other option is to configure the system with a different driver and then change it by hand after it's installed. I've had to do this for Envoy and Roadshow when using USB Ethernet.

Strange. One of my USB Ethernet thingys binds to a class, shows None as the identified class, and no lights come on, just like yours, yet it works fine.

Oh well. Glad you're up and running!
