Usb and soundblaster live questions
« on: November 23, 2006, 07:53:06 PM »
Hi, i have the next setup
Amiga 4000 cyberstorm 68060 64 megs
IDE HDD CDROM
Prometheus PCI Board
Voodoo3 2000,8029pci card
Software
OS 3.9 boing bag 1 and 2, last prometheus drivers 2.5 openpci
last picasso drivers, and ahi 6 using paula sound.

I whant to use the arakattack + poseidon usb stack.
But i don-t understand if i could use it whit any usb pci card
How to configure them ?, and how to use the pci cards whit openpci.

Also in the AHI page, they say the sound blaster live! is supported.
I have one, and whant to use it, but how ? i can configure it
I don-t see any ahi devices for the sound blaster card in DEVS:AHI
Also i don-t now if i have to do someting first using openpci ?

Where is the driver ?, is listed in the openpci page and in ahi but its not avalible as a download.

:-?

In principle all PCI USB cards work, you don't have to get a "special" dongled PCI card. I would recommend to take a standard 5EUR NEC USB2 card.

But: it won't work in this configuration. All Prometheus board out there lack the ability to either operate PCI masters at all, or they have a bug inside which causes system failure at random basis.

The only cards working in non-upgraded Prometheus boards are GFX cards and 10MBit ethernet.

There will be an upgrade offer soon... I'm working on it :-)
