Oh dear my memory ain't what it used to be...

[Ruud]

I recently bought the EasyNet A1200 networking package from AmigaKit completely forgetting that I wouldn't be able to use my 8mb fast ram expansion with it as it isn't pcmcia "friendly".  So now I can run AmiTCP but I have only ~0.5mb of ram in which to run any additional software  :-(
All I want to be able to do is transfer files to and fro from my SAM440ep running os4.1.  Does anyone know of anything I can run on the 1200 that uses hardly any ram, a command line program perhaps?  I'm also a bit clueless generally when it come to networking so any tips on the SAM end would be good to! :-)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Cheers,
Rudi.

Slave the A1200 HD on the SAM.

Change the RAM card to 4MB from 8MB - this will stop blocking the PCMCIA addresses

Did the software package come with Cardpatch and Cardreset?
When I installed EasyNet A1200 on my A1200, that has an Apollo 1240 in it, I had no pcmcia problems with these. They are available on Aminet otherwise.

I could do that I know but I want to keep the A1200 set up as it is and move files backwards and forwards from the SAM. This is so that I can use the A1200 floppy drive for reading and writing adf files.  I do own a Catweasel MK4 but the case I have the SAM in isn't big enough to accomodate it, or a floppy drive for that matter.  Besides I still want to use the A1200 for old stuff, e-uae isn't quite the same!

Thanks,
Rudi.

The 040 has a 32bit address space and so no problems... the EC020 only has a 24bit address space.

Yes they came with the package but they unfortunately don't help. I think it's because the trapdoor memory expansion maps its ram into the same address space as the pcmcia slot (or something like that).  I forgot this when ordering the EasyNet package.  I expect the ram on your card is mapped outside the usual address space because you have an 040.

Thanks,
Rudi.

That's what I meant to say  :-)

That's correct.  Some accelerator cards map into the Zorro2 memory address space and, as such, cannot access the Zorro3 address space.

That did occur to me but would you believe it I sent the only 4mb simm I had to Japan the other week to a guy who wanted it because the 8mb simm on the Viper 030 I sold him blocked the pcmcia port!  It was only later I realised my very stupid mistake  :crazy:
Maybe I can get him to send it back as it doesn't work with the viper anyway.

Thanks,
Rudi.

So does all this mean that your signature is wrong now?

A1200 +8mb Fast

How about this updated sig?

Most A1200 RAM expansion cards have jumpers to change from 8MB SIMMs to 4MB- so you shouldn't need to change SIMMs

I had a quick play with the jumpers the other night but all I got was a  yellow screen on boot up.  The jumpers are a little strange on this expansion, may be I got them wrong. I presumed because it didn't work the jumpers must be for the size simm installed not how much memory is required.  I will try again.

Thanks,
Rudi.

Hi Rudi,

I understand your problem, thanks for sending me the 4mb simms if you want me to send them back to you I would be happy to do so, for some reason my Viper doesn`t accept them instead they show up as 19 mb lol maybe i was a bit too creative with the jumper settings.  Does anyone have any 4mb simms that definitely work with a Viper as then I will send the other 4mb simms back to Rudi.
