Subway USB installation problem

[portarinos]

Ordered a subway usb for my A1200D from Amigakit. It arrived within a week (extremelly fast considering it's Xmas time and Post Office services are dead slow). So far so good BUT: when i connected the subway to my miggy and installed poseidon v4.2, nothing really happened so i ended up wondering what on earth i should do. Tried to run Trident from Prefs (as suggested in the installation procedure) but all i got was a "Failed to open muimaster.library" message. Obviously i downloaded and tried to install the missing library. Found mui3.8usr.lha on aminet and tried to install it too but no avail again. Has anyone experienced problems like these while trying to install Subway on their systems?

My config is an A1200D, PPC, Bvision,internal cd, hd, 160mb ram...running OS 3.9. Also tried the above on a 3.1 partition but nothing again. I desperately need help as this is the last step that i have to make in order to complete my "all in the original case" project.

Thanx for the replies guys, I'll give it a shot and of course i'll let you know!

Install MUI sounds right but where can i download it from? The one i downloaded from aminet just doesn't "work". Is the "3.8usr|" the right one? Besides, i tried the resolution of WB but it keeps popping up the same message, so i suppose that i have to seek the right MUI version. Any help?

Can we call it progress really? New messages:

COPYLIB: Can't open file "  " in line 299
Dos Error Type: Unable to locate a file or drawer


I suspect that it will be sth really not so big that ruins the process but in fact i still have the problem i can't install MUI so won't be installing Subway as a consequence.   :boohoo:  :boohoo:

I already unarchive on a real amiga. Isn't this version of installer already included in the OS 3.9 i'm using?

[portarinos]

After maaaaaaany attempts i still can't see the light either in 3.1 or 3.9. I'm really pissed off that buying a brand new hardware like SUBWAY requires "rocket science knowledge" in order to run for starters  :madashell:  :madashell: At least i seem to be unlucky!!

[portarinos]

Of course i'm not saying that it has to do clearly with the hardware part. I said that it should work out of the box for me too but it seems that sth is goiing wrong with installers, MUI and things like these. And of course the fact that it works for you is of no further help for me right now. Maybe you could tell me what you did or what your config is. :-D Thanx anyway   :-)

Did exactly what Keropi suggested, did a fresh 3.9 install  but again the same message. It seems like a dead end anyway:

COPYLIB: Can't open file " " in line 299
Dos Error Type: Unable to locate a file or drawer

I have downloaded again the MUI file from aminet just to make sure. Is there any way that i could install MUI manually without using the script? Is there anything else i could do? Really really desperate. Sorry for insisting on the same matter but.......


EDIT: Another question i wanted to make. Does MUI come with 3.9 (cause in my installation cd it doesn't seem to exist) or everybody had to download and install it?  

[portarinos]

Nope. Maybe a really bad coincidence but still the same problem. What else?  :-?  :-?  :-?

[portarinos]

Tried the Shell solution as suggested:

cd RAM
unarc 3.1:mui38usr.lha

Still no solution as the unarchived MUI folder whicj i used to installed MUI from RAM still produces the same messages

COPYLIB: Can't open file " " in line 299
Dos Error Type: Unable to locate a file or drawer


 :madashell:  :-?  :madashell:  :-?  :madashell:  :crazy:  :boohoo:

At last OK with MUI. After i tried all the above with no results, i noticed better what was meant by renaming the problematic file named "_". I renamed it to what the popping message was complaining that couldn't find. Renamed it to " (no name)  " with the difference that i had to press space bar once cause otherwise it couldn't be accepted as only a....blank name. Anyway, finally managed to install MUI but Poseidon is still complaining that it can't find the muimaster.library. I suspect that i have installed MUI in the wrong place (SYS).
 Do i have to install it in some specific dir that Poseidon is looking in for when trying to run it?

[portarinos]

Yeahhh! That's that. Finally i'm through the final procedure!!!

@all
Many many thanx for your advice, time and support.

[portarinos]

When i solved all the above problems with MUI, installed Poseidon, opened Trident from Prefs, installed subway device, rebooted but then nothing. Do i have to do sth manually (libs etc.)? What is the exact procedure step by step.

[portarinos]

I suppose you mean fat95 in SYS:L. It is necessary in order for the amiga to recognise drives that have been formated in a PC or sth? In case fat95 doesn't exist in the system, won't there be an icon of a non recognised drive shown? I mean the drive should appear anyway, either readable or readable? I'm saying this cause i already shoved a pc formated usb stick and nothing appeared on screen.

[portarinos]

Unfortunately still nothing happens whatever the effort! Guess i'll have to contact Amigakit. I don't want to think that after all this it's the hardware to blame!  :-(  :-(
