4xEIDE'99 interface problems. - (SOLVED)
« on: November 16, 2012, 10:30:51 PM »
Hey all, I am in some trouble, I have now obtained a second drive for my A1200 and I have a 4xEIDE'99 interface.

After I installed the EIDE'99 software all connected drives show up in the software and I restart, then bam no boot, just stuck at grey/black-ish screen forever.

If I exclude (semicolon) the "C: 4xEIDE.driver QUIET" the miggy starts and loads WB but only on the primary port and no other drives are found.

If I put the CF card with the "C: 4xEIDE.driver QUIET" line intact in WinUAE WB loads without any problems and I get the "I can't find 4xEIDE Buffered Interface!" message and then it loads just fine.

So something is up with the software and I do not know why, ive tried to change a lot of things in the Startup-Sequence without success.

Im using ClassicWB ADVSP and this is my Startup-sequence.

Code: [Select]

ACATune -maprom * -cache on -burst on >NIL:
;ClassicWB Startup-Sequence

Anyone have any input, I would love to see someones elses Startup-sequence with a 4xEIDE device and working WB.

I would love help sorting this out so I can start working on the second disks structure :)

Edit: Need this working as I was planning to start to work on my A1200 PATA DVD drive mod, so if someone solves this ill send them a 40 or 44-pin CF PATA adapter free of charge as a thanks :)

Either delete scsi.device from Devs: or remove this section completely.

Stupid question maybe, but are the master and slave jumpers set correct on the drives?
Amiga 500 + A590 + a502 memory expansion.
Amiga 1200 + harddrive + ACA1232

have you got the master on the 2.5" and one on port 0, these will conflict if not configured correctly best to either use either Port 0 (2.5") and port 1(3.5") both as master check your mountfiles in devs to make sure everthing is correct.
as we say in brum \\"yow allright mate\\"

Master is set correctly and I can use the boot drive on either 2.5" port and port 1 3.5".
But as soon I install EIDE'99 my miggy stays at black screen when started, removing the EIDE lines from startup makes the machine boot but then I only see primary master drive on port 1.

Tell me what's supposed to be in devs and mountlist for EIDE'99 to work since I do not see anything missing, so if yopu tell me I can check if it's present or not.

Thanks for your input

Hi yes I have 4xEIDE99 same as you with have you read the HD setup part in the readme on the disk cos there is a set procedure for adding a second disk.
Also regarding the devs folder you would prob have a CD0, PIPE, CCO ect but the EIDE99 software automatically configures Hard drives so long as you have setup correctly on the Hardware but will crash if not
regarding the SSequ if you open up ED and check the EIDE99 is at the top of the startup-sequence which is correct, and as you prob already know you wont be able to run the 4xEIDEprefs if there is other software collidiing with it like. eg IDEfix,Also have you tried it without the ACA tune maprom lines removed?
Also where is the{ sys:Prefs/4ExIDEprefs} in your SS ? its in mine
And also I lost count of the number of times I had non booting probs, and all it was is the Adapter on the adapter IDE pins/port not seated down correctly, bad design:(

Thank you for your response, everything is seated properly,  I have to have the aca line in top of the ssequence tho I have not tried to remove the maprom function, I will try that when I get home from work.
I do not have IDEfix and EIDEpress do not collide with anything when I run it before restart.

I have not gotten the sys:~ line in ssequence ever when installing, I will also try to add that when I get home.

I hope the maprom function is not the problem tho since it speeds up quite a bit.

You have been most helpful, thanks a lot I will get back to you when I have tried all.

Also IDEmax will work with this adapter and the prefences prog is excellent for configuring your drives,and I dont unerstand why it does not install EIDE99 prefs ? surely this is required
good luck

I don't understand it either, I will try to install all manually and see if it works.
If all fails I will try IDEmax.
