Maybe idefix (found on Aminet) works with WB2.1...was just about to check but the search function on Aminet is dead now :P

Check your Storage/dosdrivers if you have a CD0 icon there...can't remember if WB2.1 had a cd filesystem since it's a cut down version of WB3.0

That's what I'm trying to tell you; Emergency disks are made specifically for the system you make them on.

Anyway you could try to alter the Emergency disk made on the 4000T to work with your setup. Edit the CD0 mountfile and look for the entries there. Make sure the device name and unit number match your setup. I don't know what the device name of the SCSI on the 3000 motherboard is called but probably scsi.device.

And no the CD isn't worthless; you can install OS3.9 with it. But is does take some effort.



Yep, it's called "scsi.device" on the A3000

Just edit it correctly so that it has the unit number correct also whhich is the SCSI ID number you have on the cd-rom

Edit the CD0 with an Amiga text editor...

Glad you found a solution!

Don't want to complicate any of your endeavours but you could also use the Picasso96 software which also has a driver for the Cybervision 64/3D. You don't have to buy the CyberGraphics V4 cd for that.


I already purchased the CGX V4 CD but it seems Picasso96 has a wider support. Is picasso96 also a piece of software you have to buy?


I would use CGX 4 if I were you, I once used P96 with my CV64 and CV64/3D card but will never go back to P96 again  :-)

Don't forget this update when you after you've installed CGX4 in OS3.9 http://phase5.a1k.org/files/cgxv42_rc5.lha

P96 is or was donationware, think the P96 website is gone  :-(
