Amiga 3000, Deneb and the different Busters

[alexh]

1) Buster 11 is only capable of ONE active busmaster and that is being used solely for the built in SCSI. No workarounds.

Only A4000T SCSI. A3000 SCSI is not a Zorro III DMA master.

...since there's a Buster 11 in my machine and the only way I can get Deneb to work in my A3000 is if I force Zorro II mode

Should work fine in Zorro III DMA mode assuming you have no other Zorro III DMA masters.

The A3000 shipped with a Level 1 Buster 7 which did not contain Zorro III DMA in any shape or form.

The SCSI never changed over the years and so cannot be Zorro III DMA and in turn cannot interfere with DENEB.

Should work if all your jumpers are right, latest Poseidon v4.3 software installed. Firmware updated to V9 and no other Zorro III DMA Masters present.

Ask Michael Boehmer of E3B. He's an nice guy and will give you all the support you need. Just read all the docs first.

Wouldn't this also be the case with the A4000T (NCR motherboard SCSI)?

Nope. The A4000T SCSI is a complete Zorro III DMA A4091 integrated into the motherboard.

The latest version of Poseidon is V4.4.

Oooo, released today.

I see from the README that the RTL8150 Ethernet adapter class was commissioned? Are we going to see one of the Amiga shops selling USB ethernet adapters?
