Thylacine installation issues

[curtis]

Okay, I'm banging my head against a wall here and I'm getting nowhere!

First, installed the Poseidon stack.  Everything seems to have installed.  I said yes, install the USB stack.

Clicked on Trident and got the message MUI wasn't running.  What?  Bugger.  Found the MUI files and installed it.

Trident running.  Yea!

Go to Controllers and add thylacine.device.  Click online and get the following message:

Opening DEVS:USBHardware/thylacine.device unit 0 failed/device unit failed to open (-1)

I"m running a GVP Combo 030 with WB 3.9 and 2MB  chip and 16MB fast/other.

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm starting to wonder why I bought this @#$@#%^%# thylacine board!

@Gulliver:  Yeah, I know it's pretty slow, especially compared to modern devices, but still it's easier to use a thumb drive to transfer images than a floppy, especially with files that are larger than 720K!  A 512M thumb drive resolves that issue quite nicely.  And I've got a TON of those things laying around.

@ Oldsmobile_Mike:  Hadn't thought of the installer putting things in the wrong place!  Will double-check that.

Thanks for all the help guys!

Well, the 8.3 situation got me again!

Went to see if thylacine.device had been installed and it had not.  Went back to where I had copied it and saw thylac~1.dev.  Hmmm, I think I may have found my problem!

Renamed the file and made sure it was copied to the right place.

Opened up Trident again, deleted the old profile and created a new one just to make sure then clicked online.  Clock appears and immediately my pointer gets very lethargic and not moving too well.  Looks like the cpu has been maxed out!

So, I've made progress, but still can't get it to work.  It appears the driver is found and it's trying to initialize, but it seems to be running out of resources.

How long should it take for the board to initialize and when should I see results?  The only thing I've got attached to the USB port is a 1GB generic thumb drive.

Ya know, the more I try to get this board working in the 2000, the more I'm tempting to see how far I can throw the board!

May give it up as a lost cause and try it in my 3000.

Mechy,

From my experience with an A2K, don't waste your money!

I'm going to try it in my 3000 and see if life is any better.

I tested two of Genny Flick's new Mini-Thylacine cards in an A4000D and they were recognized immediately by Poseidon and worked wonderfully.

That's what I'm getting to realize.  The Thylacine isn't really practical for a ZII 2000.  It just needs a little more horsepower to work properly.

Oh well, like I said earlier, I'll try it in my 3000 and see what happens.
