Amithlon... HELP!
« on: March 07, 2003, 11:27:34 PM »
I've got Amithlon stuff kinda back up and running.. but....

My internet connection stinks.  After so long, the modem just seems to "pause", particularly during uploads.  I can sometimes crash when copying files between volumes, and doing a full format on something is a BIG no-no.

I have both the original emubox.gz and the new_emubox.gz.  I have all the "Bernie" updates and the Amithlon update.  Do I need to install BoingBag2, what do I need to fix here?

HEEEEELLLLLP!

There is a thread concerning this on the recent messages at of the amithlon open mailing list yahoogroups.com, in case you haven't checked today.

Just to basically clear one thing up: you don't need to do a full format on anything anyway, so it's no great problem that you can't.

Use Quick Format at all times with Amithlon.

As for the others, I can't really comment. I don't use modems any more, and copying large files have not caused any problems at all.

I'm glad you did that, 'coz there's no way I'm going to try and pick through all of that in a forum post.

That's because the CD audio passthrough cannel is usually off by default when you switch your machine on. You will need to activate the mixer to get round this.

Erm, dunno. First of all, do you have AHI properly configured? If so, try the version of Amiplifier from the amithlon_hd: partition (if there's one there - I can't remember offhand). There are a few versions of Amplifier around, and some behave very strangely. Unfortunately H&P didn't really test everything they included in the AOSXL CD to make sure it worked with both systems.

What do you mean: "no luck"?

Yes, if you want to listen to any CDs through the soundcard. The recoverable alerts are not a good sign. You need to track down what is happening, as it may be related to your other problems.

You are having a Creative's SB128. AC97 mixer is only for AC97 on-board sound card. That is why you are having a recoverable alert. That is just a guess, but I'm pretty much sure about that. ;)

Makes sense to me, only I keep reading that it works/needed for SB128 as well on the mail list.

Be careful about making assumptions.  :-)

In this case you would br wrong about AC97 mixer. Despite the name, it works with SB128 cards just fine - and in fact it also works with SBLive on the Umilator beta.

I'm afraid that's not the problem

Perhaps I should concentrate on the AC97Mixer or is there another mixer to try?  I believe the author of AC97 frequents the ML, maybe I should email him.

Can't wait for sound!

I don't think there's an alternative to the AC97 Mixer, so you definitely want to get that working.

I think the author is Frank Fenn. Not sure if he checks the ML (none of your queries have appeared there btw), but if you have specific questions it's probably best to mail him directly.

However, even though the Mixer fails, it may not be the actual culprit. More digging is needed to determine the exact root of your problem, and the ML is the best place for that.

The original serial driver which comes
AMIthlon sux. Which is why your internet
connection sux. If you hav all of Bernie's
updates then you should use "amithlon1_com.device"
rather than the "powercom.device".
Hopefully now you should have a good internet
connection. :)

You should get a Classic Amiga or just wait for AmigaONE...

Amithlon destroys our community more than it builds. Youre all killing the Amiga by using it!

Troll.

Please go to amigaworld.net where you belong.

This was a thread about a technical issue, not about your politically motivated xenophobic prejudice.

Of course it kills the Amiga, thats why it was one of the best selling Amiga products in years.

Face it, Amiga emulation offers the users more than a real Amiga ever could but never mind your years of anti Amiga emulators trolling will continue.
