Managed to flash Kickstart in Deneb so she boots faster, but cannot get my printer to print. Poseidon/Trident recognise I do indeed have a Canon MP760 and installs it as both a printer.class and masstorage.class (it has memory card inputs), but there seems to still be something missing here. Under AmigaPrefs, do I need to point the driver to something else? I've already tried every obvious option I could think of, but no luck yet.
Also - even though I've got Kickstart/AlgorKick flashed in Deneb, I cannot get the flashdrive to boot. I've installed the drive as an AmigaHD, selected 'boot' on HDH0:, installed OS3.9 and whatever else I thought needed to be done. I believe I have everything patched into Deneb's flash as well. All the drivers it came with, etc. Upon early startup, my A2500 does NOT recognise the mounted and installed HDH0: partition/drive.
EDIT: Have managed to get the flashdrive to boot finally (after 1st reset, system boots in 22 seconds!). Problem had to do with the boot priority when I still had my SCSI drive hooked in. Works like a champ now and not having a big ol' hard drive in the Amiga is pretty slick!
AND... come to think of it, I seem to have lost the expansion board diagnostics from early startup.
One more thing... I don't remember where I saw it, but there seems to be a device called usbparallel.device. But I have not been able to find it again. It's not hidden somewhere inside the Deneb, is it? It's certainly not a "physical" file that I can simply tell AmigaPrefs Printer to go and use that. Although that seems highly logical to do so....
And yes, I am running the latest 4.2 version of Poseidon. When I manually point the printer to call upon usbparallel.device, it sends a signal to my printer and acts as if it is going to print. But alas, just ends up not doing anything. At least whatever program I happen to want to print no longer crashes. :-D
