AmigaOS3.9 Emergency Disc and FastATA

"Very funny"

:laughing:


He's right though, you know.  

I don't own a FastATA but I do own a VXL*30, that to enable it's 32-bit RAM you have to run a program at the beginning of the Startup-Sequence.  I was able to get it working on my 3.9 ERD just by copying the program into the C: folder on the disk and modifying the Startup-Sequence on the disk accordingly.  I imagine the process would be the same for the FastATA.  Whatever process you use to activate the two additional ports normally, just include it on the ERD.

I think I will not get any specific help .

You need someone who has the specific hardware as you, and who has also made a 3.9 ERD.  Surely you can't be alone, but the people who have may not be visiting this forum.

FYI I don't think your problem is a "3.9 problem".  You're trying to make a bootdisk that supports the second IDE header on the FastATA card. You need it to contain the necessary applications/commands to activate said header.  This could be a bootdisk for anything, really, it doesn't have to be specifically 3.9.   You might try googling the process to make a bootdisk for FastATA, rather than anything 3.9 specific.  Even just a regular old 3.1 floppy with FastATA support, etc.  Make sense?
