DENEB USB & CYBERVISION 643D

Anyone know how I can save my prefes so the USB stack is running on start-up? I've never had this problem before.

There is a "save"-option under the settings menu of poseidon.

I don't mean the buttons. If you right click your mouse a menu should appear (just like the workbench menu).
Then you goto settings and select save.

Is poseidon in the flashrom, or do you start it in startup-sequence or user-startup?

All I've done to the Deneb Flash ROM is remove the Eric Scwartz (sorry Eric about the spelling!) demo. The flash ROM still contains:...psdstackloader

There you go. If you save your settings, the settings are saved to ENVARC:psdstackloader. There is an old version of it on the flashrom, so you either put the new one in the flashrom, or remove the old version from the flashrom.

Also of note is that I can't get the 3 controllers active at the same time in Trident. If I deactiveate the mausb controller then I can start the piousb controller.

Well, there can only be 1 driver active. Either the dma driver or the pio driver (or if you have a Z2 system the z2-driver).

Darrin, forgot to mention, that if you keep the poseidon files in your flashrom, you can remove psdstackloader from user-startup.

It's also important to know that the save option is greyed out as long as poseidon doesn't notice any changes in your settings. So if you removed poseidon from the flashrom,
and the save-option is still greyed out, make some unimportant changes in your settings, and see if the save option becomes available.
BTW 1 important advantage of keeping poseidon in the flashrom is that you can boot from usb masstorage devices.
If you keep it in the flashrom, you don't need psdstackloader in startup-sequence/user-startup anymore,
but when you change your settings in trident and saved them, you must reflash the flashrom with the new settings file (ENVARC:psdstackloader).
EDIT: This also goes for other poseidon files, for example when you install a new version of poseidon, you must reflash the ROM after installation.

First you SAVE your trident settings. Then you put all related poseidon files in the flashrom with luciferin.
There is a menu option in luciferin to automatically add
all poseidon files. Then you remove psdstackloader from user-startup. Don't forget to partition and format the usb-stick with an amiga compatible file-system (FFS/SFS/PFS).
It's not possible to boot from fat or ntfs partitions.

Edit: Just found out, it is also possible to boot from fat partitions. Use boot95 from the fat95 archive.
