A4000T (a bunch of issues, please help!)
« on: May 29, 2013, 04:26:51 PM »
Hello everyone!
Let's start with my specs shall we?
I have an A4000T with a cyberstorm 60, maxed out on ram. Hydra card (ethernet) CD rom (not sure what brand, internal) and a CD Rom Mediavision External, workbench 3.1, Video toaster 4000, Par, and TBC4. (No display cards!)
It's been years since I have fired this thing up, but I am trying to get it back and updated!
Now here's the first issue I am currently having:
When I boot up, it endlessly seeks the floppy disk until I put one in, then it stops, in the meantime it keeps seeking and seeking. I'd like to fix this one first!
The next issue is that I am trying to transfer a bunch of files to and from the Amiga from my pc (or mac, I have both). I have miami and I am trying to use an ftp client on the Amiga, but the client (I forget which) will not let me send over FOLDERS, just files. Remember, this is workbench 3.1, not sure if there are better FTP clients out there.
Next issue: Miami doesn't pull my DNS servers, so I'm not sure how to configure it properly for internet access, I have intranet access.
Next: I have some installers that need to have the folder mounted as a drive I think, I forget the command line thing for this, please help!
And lastly, about upgrading, what is the latest compatible AmigaOS that will work with what I have?
Thanks for your time!

No, this is not an emulation, this is a full tower, A4000T with 3.1. I can't zip, I have LHA on the Amiga side, but that doesn't help me when sending from the pc. I can't burn CDs because none of the Amiga drives can see burnt disks.

I am an IT analyst, this is a floppy drive seeking ONLY at boot issue, it's software, the drive functions normally.
