OS 3.9 Install issues!!! Pls help me!!!
« on: November 09, 2006, 11:38:48 AM »
I received my 4000 yesterday and it's booting fine into OS 3.9, The CDROM drive is also recognized and works perfectly.

I was having some issues with a few PPC games so I decide to do a complete reinstall and make an emergency boot disk.
It loads so far and then a requester appears, cannot open "asim_atapi.device" unit 1. then followed my a system request "Please insert volume AmigaOS3.9 in any drive"

As I said before it's recognized in workbench but not from emergency boot disk. I have also tried changing jumpers on the CDROM to no avail.
Both are conected to the 4000 IDE port. There was also two SCSI slave drives on the cyberstorm but I've disconected them for now. Any sugestions  :-?

Installed another Samsung CD RW but same problem.

Have just tried with two different original OS 3.9 Cd's and get the same error msg and also with OS 3.5 and install disk  :-(

Might be worth a try makeing a copy. How do I duplicate OS 3.9 under windows XP, Just drag to CDRW folder and write?

Yea well I had taken your advice and looked into the DEVS: drawer, found the file "asim_atapi.device" so copied it over to the emergency disk, rebooted and the CD-ROM drive spun up first time!   :-)
