A4000 Help
« on: April 29, 2013, 11:11:31 AM »
My trusty A4000 finally packed it in over the weekend. The power supply gave out. Sifting through my Amiga graveyard, I actually managed to find a replacement power supply and hooked it up to my A4000. The system boots up normally and all seemed well, except for one small problem. I am unable to double click on any icons. The mouse pointer moves around fine, but remains in loading mode (a clock icon) and doesn't become the usual red arrow icon??? Please excuse my lack of technical jargon.

When I boot the system with no startup sequence, I can access all my files and most of the programs work fine. There are a few (like SCALA) that bring up the requestor for me to insert volume ENV.

The only thing that is different with the new set-up is that my CD drive and disk drive are no longer plugged in. Neither of them function anymore, so I wasn't concerned about them having no power.

Any suggestions on how to move forward would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone. I've been able to run wb with no startup sequence. Most of my software works fine, but programs like SCALA and ImageFX ask for me to insert volume ENV.

I tried removing emptying the wb startup folder, but that had no effect. I was still unable to double-click on any icons in wb, although I could still move the mouse around.

I then looked at hooking-up the floppy drive and CD drive. Unfortunately the replacement power supply doesn't have the right connectors for me to do that.

At least I can now get in and access my files. A step in the right direction. I assume something is off in the startup sequence or user startup??? Is it likely my A4000 is freaking because it is looking for DF0 and CD0?

Thanks so much for everyone's help. You guys are the best. Adam.
