PPC603e+ & OS4 Installation!
« on: November 15, 2008, 06:50:33 PM »
Hello,

I am ready to Install OS4 on my A1200T but on the OS4 Manual I read to configure the ram into the PPC by holding the ESC Kay at the boot . But when I press ESC at the boot nothing happens.
If I run the PPC with another floppy and not the Amiga OS4 floppy Installation disk I can run everything but if I use OS4 intsllation disk I am stucked!

Help me please!!!

How to enter into PPC Menu?

I can only enter onto the other menu, the one by pressing both mouse buttons but not the ESC Meny key!

Help!

I did not hook thespare floppy connector from my PSU to the motherboard floppy connector on my A1200 MB.

Could be it the cause of my problem?

Thanks

Ok I got it about the PSU.

I have flashed the PPC but I cannot see anything by holding the ESC key at the Boot!

In the PPC Flash Docs I can read:

BootMenu which can be invoked by holding
    the Key key during the system boot.
    (It may not work for weird tower pc-keyboard hacks)

I do have a pc kayboard and a D-Box tower and in the next hours I would try the PPC into a desktop A1200.

But the point now is that what I need to do according the Amiga OS Installation manual is to make sure that the MapROM Option is set "OFF" and that the RAM settings are set to "70 ns".

I cannot have anything by holding  the "ESC" Key at the Boot ... I can only see a menu by holding down both mouse buttons and that's it!!!

Any hint or trick?

Thanks!!!

sorted out!

I could enter the Menu by holding at the same time ESC key into desktop Amiga and not into tower and pressing "SPACE" to go back to the 15 khz mode.

Many Thanks!!!
