DENEB various small issues
« on: August 04, 2008, 09:28:46 AM »
1) Thumbdrive must be in port 0 (internal port) in order to boot. If any other mass storage device is plugged in ahead of it it will not boot.

2) AsimWare keeps ejecting CDs. AsimWare does not seem to like usb cd drives. I am having better success with CachCDFS under Os 3.9.

3) Cannot have CD in drive while booting. Not too unusual as I have had this same issue with PCs. It appears to be an issue specific to certain models of drives regardless of platform.

4) USB audio eats full 500ma of power. Locks up system even when plugged into a powered hub. A hub that Trident says it likes.

5) PsdStackLoader never copies to envarc: during the install. This is a definite bug. I keep psdstackloader on floppy because of this.


6) Installing to a thumbdrive presents a LOT of inconvenient circumstances. For instance:
   a) Installing Deneb software requires setting the rescue jumper so that the deneb 'hardrive' will appear on the desktop. Unfortunately this disables all usb devices and there is no thumbdrive to install to. Interesting dilemma , right? Perhaps an install CD with every card purchased?
   b) Upgrading Poseidon to a newer version causes usb stack to halt and thumbdrive you were installing to disappears and the usb cdrom you were installing from goes bye bye too! Ouch!
   c) Neither Installer 43.3 nor MUI 3.8 which are required to install the Deneb software are included with the software on flashrom. Makes installing to an os 3.1 formatted drive (non-usb) a little difficult.

More later. Share your issues too.

Alas.......

I'm not sure why the guys at E3B feel that every customer issue is an outright ATAAAAACK on them but I really wish they would take the chip off of their shoulder and just stick to going over the facts rather than repeatedly mentioning what a dumbass someone is who missed something in their documentation.

Do you get your head bitten off on a regular basis by a nagging wife? Missed your coffee this morning? My questions are not attempts to ASSASINATE the character of those at E3B or to malign your hardware.

I'm not your enemy, I'm your customer and I wish you would put down your fists and stop trying to box with me.
