Got my Deneb...some questions

[HammerD]

Hi I received my Deneb USB hardware and D-Link USB network card this weekend (thanks AmigaKit .

I have some questions and issues so I hope someone can help...here are my specs:

Escom A4000T/060 with Quickpak 68060 XP rev. 2 board
SCSI CDROM and hard drive on on-board A4000T SCSI
Picasso IV Graphics card
Amiga OS 3.9 BB2
Deneb USB, D-Link USB DUB-E100

After some reading on the forums and on the support sites I have updated the Deneb to the latest V9 firmware and Poseidon to 4.2, placing the poseidon.library and other files into the flashroom of the Deneb.  So I think I have that working OK, my D-link usb network card is working with Miami.

However, after using the card for a few minutes surfing websites with IBrowse or Aweb, I get a recoverable alert, and then a red Software Error 8000000B.  I am using the Deneb PIO mode (that is what is in the flashrom) as this is an A4000T and I know DMA doesn't work with it because of the limited buster rev.11.

Is anyone else getting this error?

I also have a Logitech USB optical wheel mouse that does not work with Poseidon  Poseidon recognizes a usb low-speed device is inserted but it doesn't work.  I don't have the exact error message at the moment as I'm away from my Amiga...but really the more pressing issue is the Dlink usb network card...

One final error is a couple 1GB USB memory sticks that work but are not always mounted (yes FAT95 is in L:).  Sometimes they mount but then I get read errors, and I see message in Trident about adjusting the block size, etc.  On my Vista PC I did a check disk and no errors are found; I can copy files and read the memory stick fine on Vista, but on the A4000T I get block read errors...

Thanks

HI, I will try this out.  In the Deneb flashroom I can remove the PIO driver and just put the z2 one then? There is really no documentation on exactly what files you need in there.  But my Deneb came with 7 files in the flash...so I guess that is the minimum you need?

Hi, yes, I found that, thanks.  It is useful but it requires an envarc: file to be present. I had to copy that over from a backup...but after that it worked and populated the list with all the poseidon stuff.

By the way, I want to get a USB sound card, do you know if this one would work?

Also, is it safe to attach a powered USB 4 port hub off one of the backplate usb ports so I can get more than 2 external usb ports?

Thanks
