Why bother, the latest drivers are available at Elbox website.


Hi Bamiga2002, TheRougue had heard that there was a version 7.x of the A4000 drivers, he already had the ones from the Elbox site, I've been scouring the internet but can't find any drivers beyond version 2.5

Anyone else able to help out TheRogue here... :)

Wrote to Elbox once showing them how to fix this bug/problem but never heard a thing from them.

Typical Elbollocks behaviour...:madashell:

On the other side of the problem attack: Newest/latest version of WHDLoad (16.8 onwards) is aware of Poseidon & LAN stacks and disable those during the game, so nothing may be wrong on this front.

 I agree with the Elbollocks hardware/software crippling problem on this matter, as I had it once on my Medi(T)ator system. Was on pre-16.7 WHDLoad, but the problem was there.

Goodbye people.

I\'ll pop on from time to time, RL is acting up.

Well I got everything working. Like I said in a previous post it wasn't a problem with Genesis or Poseidon because I found out later when I ran whdload from my system partition it ran fine. The issue was my FastATA drive kept corrupting itself no matter what I did. I finally made it work, even though the FastATAPrefs still state the drive and driver are in split mode (???). I first had to prep the drive in split mode, installing every 4 gig chunk, then restart, prep the drive in nosplit mode with one 2 gig FFS partition and one with the remainder as SFS2. Then I restarted, formatted the 2 new partitions and everything worked as it should, even though as I said the FastATA prefs are still reporting the drive and driver in split mode. It's such a shame that Elbox, one of the few remaining Amiga hardware manufacturers is so disorganized and backwards...
