A3000D, Cloanto 3.X, bad floppy?

[Cosmos Amiga]

I guess I found the issue : into _IVPORTS, it's UW in the structure, not L...

Another little bug in REVISION, it's $15 and not $14...


Since there is no history.txt, here I am :

- bug .L in _IVPORTS
- bug in the REVISION number
- very tiny optimizations here and here (st, pea, bcc, movem...)
- __scanBounds_512 and related simplified
- IntAckFix included (Bert Jahn)
- fix tst.b R_Alert (Harry Sintonen)

(Note for some professionnal trollers like kolla : I have nothing to do with this new Kickstart 3.X)

I know! :laughing:

Not sure that workbench library should be relocated as well as having AGA stuff on an A3000.
Something funny here.

Uncommon, yes, but funny, not really.

Space is very tight in this particular ROM version, due to the updated FastFileSystem and scsi.device drivers being in there, among others. These drivers take up more space than the original versions, and as little as that might appear to add, it won't allow for all compontents to fit. Dropping workbench.library out is the straightforward solution to this problem. Commodore did the same with the A4000T ROM due to space constraints.

The AA graphics.library variant has a fall-back for ECS/OCS and won't blow up on the A3000. The only drawback I can see in the use of this graphics.library variant is that it takes up more space than the ECS version.

Maybe if you did it wouldn't be so messed up!  :hammer:

Anyone made a patch for this exec.lib ?

I'm considering getting a set of these for my A1200 - is this issue resolved in the latest versions of the ROM's?

issue with floppy drive is resolved. i bought 2 of the last set for A3000.
but... there's an issue with sfs formatted drives.
they appear twice on the workbench. normally, and greyed icon.

i contact cloanto about this, they investigate, and told me the bug is in sfs itself, bug with indentification...
they send me a patched sfs wich solve the problem. but nowdays, sfs for 68k seems "dead". so idk if they can officialy release a patch at the moment.

and, they are wrongly labeled for the A3000.
i bought 2 set at vesalia, and all 2 have their label U180 U181 swapped... so, the first time i tried... i let you guess what happened, until i try swapping them.
so maybe you can face the same for the A1200 chips.

Hi.

Just wondering if there has been any resolution to this?

I have licensed 45.061 roms in my amiga 2000 that I purchased, that have been working fine, right up until I install fast ram expansion. As soon as I put a 4mb module into my accelerator, I get the NDOS error on my floppys.

I see that later versions of the rom, I think they are up to .64 or .65 now, have a floppy fix in the patch notes.

I've tried contacting cloanto through his website, and through amiga forever, and never got a response or acknowledgement.

If there was a fabulous new feature that I wanted, i wouldn't mind buying an updated rom, but this is a basic system breaking fault.

I wouldn't even mind if I had to use a patch file on boot, but my google-fu has failed me (plus I'm really not that familiar with amigas). I bumble my way through hardware/software setup guides, and fiddle until its completely broken or working.

Does any one have a rom image they can share for the latest? I can prove that i have licensed roms, if needs be. Otherwise, I guess I'll wipe the rom, and just put 3.1 kickstart on it.

Thanks, Joe

you may have to be a bit patient. they took 1 month to reply me.
but once they did, i was followed regulary by one person,  unitl the problem solved.

Thanks - I couldn't find anything on their website or Google indicating this (maybe I didn't look hard enough) so I appreciate the quick follow-up!

I have these same problems with the 3.X ROM in my A2000 with an A2630 + BigRAM2630. I have to remove the BigRAM to use the floppy. I need to buy a stock 3.1 ROM to replace the 3.X ROM. I believe it to be the cause.

What rev of the 3.x rom do you have? Mine was the 45.061 rev.
