How To Install WB 3.1 from Gotek

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

It's probably telling you that the floppy disk is full. Are you installing via the standard 3.1 install script? Are the drives prepped and formatted correctly?

I'd recommend addressing  the other problems you already listed first.

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

No idea what the above instructions are supposed to be for.  Assuming you have correctly installed your hard drives and have a set of (6) .adf files loaded onto your GoTek comprised of the 3.1 Workbench disks, all you should have to do is double click on the install icon on the first disk and let the installer script take it from there.  Once the install is done then you can drop in any additional libraries (such as icon.library - note the special instructions for adding this under 3.1 listed in it's docs).

And if you look at the spec, there's no mention of what ROM chips are plugged into the A2000.

If you look at his signature it says "WB 3.1".  Maybe that's an assumption on my part to assume that he's trying to install 3.1, but since every other post in this thread has been referencing the same, I don't think I'm too far off.  But thanks for talking at me like I'm an idiot, another one for the block list!  :p

The latest version of P96 can be downloaded from here:

I saw your message asking for a copy on ADF, unfortunately I don't have any easy way of making an ADF.  If I download it, write the file to a floppy disk, then create an image of that disk, I imagine would work.  Just haven't had a chance to try it yet.  Perhaps someone else has a better method?

...as you can tell, I don't use ADF's very often, lol.  :biglaugh:

I've got this video on YouTube of some P96 stuff.  It's a few years old now, but maybe helpful?

Ah-ha! P96 doesn't update the screenmode.prefs file itself, it only allows you to modify the settings for the mode. Once you've set the mode how you want it you need to select it in the standard Workbench ScreenMode preferences tool. Try opening that, I bet you'll see a list of all your custom screenmodes in there.

Remove all P96 software (including any entries in Startup-Sequence & User-Startup, libraries, etc.), and reinstall?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

A few ideas:

Something in your Startup-Sequence may be calling it. Post a copy?

Try running Enforcer or some such similar software to see what's calling it.

Try changing to a non P96 screenmode and rebooting.

What are your version numbers on the P96 libraries?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Wait a sec, you have a PII. You're sure it's trying to open "Picasso IV.resourse"? Definitely something wonky with your install.  Are any of your screenmodes defined as PIV modes?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

Just to confirm: if you completely remove the P96 software using the process you described earlier, and change back to a native screenmode, you still get the error message on boot?

At what point did you first see this message?

Did you try Kolla's suggestion?
