ShapeShifter tips
« on: May 19, 2008, 09:48:27 PM »
Hi all,
I'm trying to set up my A2000 with ShapeShifter 3.11

For the mac part,I got a Quadra rom (1mb i own  940Av for spareparts), Mac OS 8.0 CD and 7.5.2 for Performa, a 1Gb  dedicaced volume, and ShapeShifter 3.11

On the amiga side, i have :
A2000 ECS, FortyFusion 040RC-8mb-PNG 3.4, GVP SCSI HC8+II rev6 with 2mb and a 9.6Gb Sca HDD, Vlab Y/C, Buddha flash + CDRW, A2386sx + pc cards...

All is well set up to run properly with the A2386sx (enforcer).

about the forty fusion, i added in the SS :  setFF PRESET AMAXIV so it softkicked a modified rom (but it let on MMU/FPU/COPYBACK/VBR).

When I start with OS 7.5 it refused, told me to upgrade the SYSTEM  :-? , but with 8.0 i passed and boot.

Whatever, the biggest amount of "good ram" is around 6.4 mb, and under OS8, it told me that i only have 5.9mb and around 5/600 kb free when the CD drawer is open...

The system is quite slow to react, even if i increase the refresh rate to 100.
And the hdd speed seems low (buffer = 300), I took nearly 2 hours to prepare a 1Gb partition.
I had a Performa 630CD (LC040/33 + 32 mb) but it seems much more faster  :-o

I also tried to install the "MAC" device with the 2 others files, but when i put in DosDrivers, the system refuse to launch WB at the restart...

Any advice / tricks ? lots of site about that are down...

I put my FF40 to 32mb last night, installed Oxyron patcher, turn off the MMU for Video Refresh, reduced the refresh and it works a bit better.
I will try the drivers recommanded by " -D- ".
I would like so much to use a RTG card, but my FF40 needs the "PAL upgrade"...
