Hello Folks!
Well I guess I need your advice as I have some little problems (?) with my FastATA MKIII controller on my new 1200PPC. The setup is stored in a desktop case, BPPC, BVision, FastATA MKIII, HD, DVD-RW, SubWay USB, IndiVision MKI. The HD is stored on the first port of fastATA as primary master and the DVD-RW on the second as primary master. So:
1. The first issue is that when I know run the ATA3.driver the Amiga simply crashes. No matter if I run it on AmigaOS 3.9, AmigaOS 4.0 or 4.1. Only if I run the driver as ATA3.driver RESIDENT QUIT the Amiga would NOT crash. Any ideas?
2. However both in AmigaOS 4.0 and 4.1 the Hard Disk and CD work perfect. They are both recognized under scsi.device on MediaToolBox, on Mounter and on AtaPrefs program. On AtaPrefs on 4.0 and 4.1 the PIO is set to 0. When I run the Mounter from 4.0 and 4.1 I get the CD on ID 2 I guess this is the correct unit number of the CD, right or wrong? Anyway it seems that under 4.0 and 4.1 everything works fine. Do not know if the FastATA is in real action or it is just handled as a generic controller. But at least I got CD and HD.
3. HOWEVER on AmigaOS 3.9 I am not able to use the DVD drive. It is recognized when I run the ATAPrefs Software. But when I put a CD on the drive no icon on desktop. I have copied the Alegro filesystem from the FastATA disk on L and I have put the CD0 and CD0 form the same disk on the DOSDrviers folder, on the tooltypes of the icon I changed the unit to 0 and 2 in both cases no CD on desktop. On 3.9 the CD is only recognized on ATAPrefs -I tried with both PIO 0 on both HD and CD plus PIO 3 on HD and 4 on CD- but not recognized on HDToolBox and on Mounter. The version of scsi.device is 44.2. Is it correct?
I will also copy my SS and CD0 from my 3.9 to give you an idea. In general I want to know:
1. Why the ATA3.driver crashes?
2. Is FastATA working as FastATA or as a generic controller on 4.0 / 4.1?
3. How can I have CD support under 3.9?
Thanks for your time.
