Well, I will see about moving it over to the cyber.scsi port then. I'll need to figure out how to get the CD drive working again with it. Is it as simple as just going into devs and changing from scsi.device to cyberscsi.device?

I also have a couple of IDE CD-RW drives and nothing on my IDE header at all currently. How would I add an IDE drive to cacheCDFS?


Well you should read the Section 1.0 "Installation/Booting" on the AmigaOS 4.1 Classic FAQ which is on the FE ISO.  It explains how to configure a CDROM connected to the Cyberstorm and have it boot directly using that - no boot floppy required.  That method is a little bit tricky, so it's easier to use the bootfloppy, but that will automatically detect the CDROM assuming it is setup correctly.  I usually verified everything was working properly under OS 3.9 first - eg. you can access the CDROM, see the PPC.  If it is you should be fine.  The fact that you got the bootlogo up tells me your PPC is working, which is good.

Make sure your PPC is adequately cooled. Especially if it is has been upclocked. I have an issue with mine that if I don't have a fan running on the heatsink, I start getting random errors and sometimes it wont even boot. Took a long time to figure this out, especially since for a while it seems fine.

Subtle first signs were when it actually failed to copy files correctly. The files would copy but the copies would be different. Wrong CRC and whatnot. I thought it was memory first, but adding a fan made it stable.

you should never run a csppc without a fan on the ppc sink-not even at 233mhz., it must have a good fan at all times. lack of fan is the best way to kill one fast.
