Escom/Amiga 4000T won't boot to Workbench
« on: February 13, 2009, 05:25:18 PM »
I recently purchased an Escom/Amiga Inc 4000T.  It has a 060 and 128M of ram.  I got it w/o HD but it came with 3.1 and an 060 floppies still sealed.  I installed a 73G HD SCSI and CD.  When I boot off floppy, I get a workbench screen w/o any icons.  I have tried a 1.3 WB and I get the same thing.  However, if I boot a game from floppy it works.  I think I have a SCSI conflict?  I have HD as 0 and CD as 2.  Didn't have time to remove HD and just try booting from the floppy.

I don't have a manual for the 4000T but it has a SCSI 3 on the 060 and a SCSI 2 on the motherboard.

Ideas?

It is the Amiga, inc version.  It also has a termination card at the rear of the tower where the mouse/joystick/parallel and serial ports are.  I have never seen where it boots to WB and no icons.  It is very weird.  There are dip switches on the back of the card which address it.  If the card was 0 and my HD was 0 would that cause this?  Ever see this problem before?

BTW, I am using the MB SCSI not the 060.

I am using the original disks that were sealed. They say Amiga OS 3.1 4000T.  Another issue is that with the 060 it needs the 060 lib and 060cpu which I had to remove the HD Toolbox and all the languages except English to make room for it.  If it doesn't have those libs it will just Guru.

Yes a copy.  I don't want to mess up the originals.  Thanks I'll try that when I get home.
