GoldenGate 486SLC and OS3.9

[keropi]

Hello!

I installed the v1.31.27 GoldMineI disk on my HD using the install disk, but when I open any of the gg icons, like digger or setup, nothing happens!
I tried booting with the disk, and the icons work, is there an update available??? for 3.9 ?    :-?  :-?  :-?

also, anyone knows how much faster is the SLC2 50mhz board?
thanks!!!!

I use the original 4000 revB busboard...
I also use it with an ISA 1MB 5420 vga...

os? I cannot even get the damn thing started , lol!

edit: I plan to use it to play some dos games that play full speed on 386sx/20 , like alone in the dark, scorched earth, commander keen stuf...
old dos games... at least I hope I can play ! lol

I will test without the vga, but I have no ega monitor to plug... at least I will heare the 2 beeps...
By icons I mean the icon programs of the GG, those are: miner, setup , server, server setup. those do nothing when opened from HD on my OS3,9 installation. snoopdos does not give any info either, there is no "fail" ...

do u get any kind of gfx corruption from the ISA card?
sometimes the lines are missing from the boot screen, some times some characters are wrong... I even had flashing wrong characters once lol
my pc experience says the vga is busted... mauybe that is why with a full os3,9 it won't work....

edit: tried without the ISA vga, still nothing on normal 3.9 boot...

edit2: I had better success by installing the GG on the top slot, the CLI commands work on the 3,9 , only thing I get wrong characters from ISA vga... gonna try another soon...

damn, this is what I get, with another working on a pc vga, and other mem chips...

most times just freezes there....

:bump:

it sux I cannot get it working....
I highly suspect the MK2, as it also has probs with the kickflash.

reseatting? Tried it in all 3 possible slots...

never tried to turn off cpu caches and such... I will try though with the orinal 030 to see if it works... even alone in the bus (except a videoslot sd) the card doesn't work OK, only the mk2 is left to be tested...

[keropi]

I will try that also...

[keropi]

just as I suspected....
I tried with the ec030/25 card (with an AGA display, pIV one was dead slow) the GG works fine...
why is the mk2 plagued with so many probs? bah...  :madashell:

EDIT: tried the command "cpu nocache" before gg , and it works! there are some floppy disk issues though... it cannot always understand the inserted disk... the 030 again worked fine.  :madashell:  :madashell:  :madashell:
