mediator issues AGGHHH!
« on: January 14, 2008, 01:40:17 AM »
Well, I got easynet from amigakit, and it looks really cool.  Installed and configured easy.  But it doesn't work, because I keep getting an open device error on the fastethernet.device.
Also, when I try to run medication it tells me no PCI devices detected.
At the very least the board is working as a ZIII pass through, since my picasso IV and AD516 are working fine..... how can I tell what's wrong.  I don't have net access with the amiga since I don't have easynet working yet... so if there is a program I need to download and try I have to download it with my mac and burn a CD.
Any help would be appriciated.... I have spent so much money and come so far.... I feel like I am close to having a working Amiga system... AGGHHHHH!
-Dan

Hi,
I do have PCI cards installed.  Easynet from Amigakit comes with a PCI 100/10 ethernet card.
So my complete config is a little extensive, but here are the basics.
Amiga 3000 housed in a Elbox mirage 3000D tower.
Warp engine 3040
32 megs fast ram, 2 megs chip ram
Using the warp fast scsi controller which is hooked up to 2 hard drives and CD burner.
I have the mediator installed.  I have pulled most of cards out trying to pin point the problem.  So currently I have in the mediator:
#1 the mediator's own bus board card thing, whatever.
#2 the PCI ethernet card
#3 voodoo 3000.  (only installed because someone told me it had to be there for the fast ethernet to work... something about memory.  I would love to take it out if it's not needed).
#4 ATI wonder TV card
#5 AD516 sunrise sound card
#6 Picasso IV video card (using picasso 96 software and currently using it as the primary video delivery system for the whole system.)

I have OS 3.9 installed.  Umm..... I am probably forgetting something important, but this is what I can think of right now.

** what part of California am I in?  I live in Vacaville California.  Which is half way between San Francisco and Sacramento.**

Thanks for the help ahead of time.
-Dan

where is PCI info?  And I don't think I have set up the variables... I don't think anyway.

Also, I don't know if this means anything, but everytime I boot, it gives me a message that it can't open the mixer.library
I think that is something that came with the mediator.  There is a program in prefs called mixer and when I try to launch it, it tells me it can't open that library.
Again I don't know if that has anything to do with anything, but I thought I would mention it.
Thanks,
Dan

does the order of the cards matter?
