Troubles with x-surf 100 and Rapid Road

[klx300r]

I had the exact same problem with my RapidRoad not working on my XSurf-100 in my A4000 and no matter what I tried I couldn’t get it to work ...Poseidon always found it as working under ‘controllers’ though


after nearly sending it in to Individual Computers for repair I realaized I had an empty clock port on my Buddha IDE controller so installed the RapidRod on it and bang she’s working great now


So for me anyhow the issue was on the XSurf-100 side....let us know what your findings are once you finally get your RapidRoad working

That does not bode well for a future purchase. I have little interest in the ethernet functionality of the XSurf-100 and would have only bought it for hi-speed (relatively speaking) USB usage with the RapidRoad. I have no clock ports as a back up and I have no assurance from AmigaKit that the one on the Prisma Megamix is compatible with the Rapid Road board (I don't mean that it is possible to sit in the same Zorro space I mean is it able to be used to connect the RapidRoad rather than the XSurf-100)! That would actually be my prefered option (and from your comments actually with less risk of technical difficulties and conflictions) but until I know that you can run a RapidRoad off the clockport of a Prisma Megamix I am not biting :-(

been asking the same question since the Prisma was first announced and like you...only silence ..oh well lucky my Buddha 20th ann edition has a clockport that works

Did you try jumpering it to Z2? DMA on Z3 machines does not work with old Buster versions.

yup I did at first as per Jens instructions and later I actually upgraded my Buster but still no go to get my RR working with my X-Surf-100
