Timing issue?

[starf81]

Hello!

My main Amiga setup is an A1200 Rev.2B motherboard (not fixed) with a Blizzard 1260. Sometimes it crashes and reboots without any reasons. I think it can be the famous "timing issue" but... can I have a confirm? I mean, what are syntomps to identify the timing issue that affects Rev.1D4 and 2B (particular error codes or behaviours)?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply.

I'm afraid of that it could be a software issue since it happens just using the OS3.9. If I boot from a floppy disk, the A1200 is stable.

I don't know what is the cause, do you think I'd format and re-install the OS?

Thanks and... TANTI SALUTI ANCHE A TE!!!  :-D

I also had this problem when I use my 2 GB harddisk.

When you installing OS 3.9 you get a question about 4-way IDE adapter. Select this.

Yes, I did it...

After the installation you change the Maxfiletransfer in HDtoolbox to fffe0.

Well... I've just tried but it doesn't accept the new value.
By default, it is set as 0x0001FE00. I've changed and saved the new value but it shows always the default one.
Could you help me? It's the first time I do something like this... :-)

My problem also disappear when I use a Hitachi/IBM or Toshiba notebook HD. I only had problems with a Fujitsu HD.

Yes, also my HD is Fujitsu... :-(

Thanks!

It crashes specially surfing into the HD, opening programs and/or moving files. Sometimes it shows errors for DH0.

So I think that your idea is right to solve the my issue... any idea to change that value?
