Hi all! Well I have the A1200 running very nicely now! If you remember, I had an aweful time with the Subway USB adapter. Old thread here....
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=52970&highlight=gizmo350The apollo accelerator was the whole problem. It never really worked right from the beginning. Then after about a week it just completely died. I had purchased it from eBay. That was a HUGE waste of $160!!! So, I bought a GVP accelerator from SoftHut, popped in a 32MB simm and it works perfect. After I plugged it in I didn't even reinstall OS3.1. I simply reinstalled Poseidon and the USB ports worked perfectly. After I ran these commands:
C:AddUSBClasses
C:AddUSBHardware DEVS:USBHardware/subwayusb.device
the USB flash drive was recognised immediately. There were all my LHA's! So, I then ran the Poseidon update - awesome! Then installed MUI. More awesome-ness! Now I completely understand the Trident software and how the USB functions work. Then I upgraded to OS3.9. Wow, too cool! Then installed BB1. That's where I am now.
Couple of questions....
1. Boing Bag 2 starts correctly and asks "Do you want to install ROM update" along with BB2 update. Do I want to do that? Is that really going to flash my ROM. How can that be? Is it safe to do?
2. I wanted to dupe my OS3.9 CD after installing MakeCD (BTW, thanks platon42 - you were absolutley correct - no mountlist needed with AMICDFS). I can read from my Sony DRX-720ul external CD/DVD drive with no problem (that's how I installed OS3.9) but MakeCD can't find a driver. I tell MakeCD that the device is USBSCSI.DEVICE but there is no available driver so can't copy CD. Is that because the CD Drive is not native thru the USB port or is it because there's really no driver for my drive? What USB drives are compatible with MakeCD when going thru the Trident software? Or is Trident just a bridge and MakeCD should just work?
3. I installed the IP stack and browser software from the OS3.9 CD. I didn't really mess around with it too much due to time but maybe I could get some help with that later?
4. After installing MUI, I set my resolution to SuperHiRez which give me a lot of flicker on my Commodore 2002 monitor. Is there a way to calm it down with newer software options in OS3.9 and/or MUI? Maybe set the refresh rate somehow? (Man, I need a scandoubler!)
5, How on earth can the OS3.9 emergency disk work correctly when using the Subway USB for my CD connection (I need a native CD drive - don't I.)
6. What's the best software to use to do a brick-level backup of my HDD for easiest recovery?
OK, I'll stop for now..... ;-)
