Amiga 4000T
« on: February 20, 2006, 01:53:26 PM »
Hi everybody

I'm an old Amiga supporter and have an A500 A1200 and recently bought an A4000T.
2 Cards were present Picasso 2 & Ariadne.
The cards are removed and i got hold of an old scsi hardisk and converted the 3.1 disks from adf files and checked them on both the 500 (ks 2)and 1200 (ks3)and they look ok.However i only get the Workbench screen and nothing more when i try to boot it up.
Both the mouse and keyboard is working fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

Also i have bought a tower for the 1200 an are looking for faceplate for the diskstation.
Do they still exist?
Live in Norway so any knowledge of local scandinavian shops would help.

Thanx in advance

Do you mean that the A4000 boots up from the HD but once on the workbench, they don't show up?
Or do you boot from a floppy?
If you boot from the Install floppy, run HDToolbox to see if the program recognizes your HD.

Do the disks contain workbench.library?

The A4000T did not include it in rom.

The A4000T has a modified kickstart ROM which doesn't include workbench.library.

The A4000T has special install disks which hold the lib and install it in LIBS:, without it the machine will not boot to workbench. (or boot from the install disk)

Let me know if you can get hold of them, otherwise I might be able to help.

The workbench.library is part of the kickrom. Only the A4000T dont has it in ROM because of space (needed for the onboard scsi controller device). So you need the original disks or try to extract the file from a kickrom image that has it included (like 40.63 or 40.68).

Maybe you have to delete some files which are not really needed for booting like hdbackup or hdtoolbox. Just copy them to another disk.
