Thylacine installation issues

[QuikSanz]

as a matter of fact, some new updated ROM's for those old bulletproof cards may be a good Idea.

That may be an address space issue and not a ROM issue.

It seems no one can get the X-Surf to work with those cards. I stumbled on the solution but I still don't know why it works. If it were an address space issue I should have never gotten it to work like everyone else. Something in the 060 install allowed it to work and I don't think that was it. I still think old ROM's are the problem and something in the other install fixed it.

I tested two of Genny Flick's new Mini-Thylacine cards in an A4000D and they were recognized immediately by Poseidon and worked wonderfully.

That's what I'm getting to realize.  The Thylacine isn't really practical for a ZII 2000.  It just needs a little more horsepower to work properly.

Oh well, like I said earlier, I'll try it in my 3000 and see what happens.

It is not the Thylacine, but Poseidon that requires extra ram and an accelerator.  The Thylacine had its own USB stack for simple things such as mice, keyboards, and thumb drives.  There were/are add-on modules for a printer and a scanner.  ANAIIS says "at a minimum" it supports the Highway and Subway, there is no mention of other devices.

Hi to all
It is best to copy kickstart in fast ram on A2000 with 68030 cards. Using a 040 card on A4000 is better.
Even in A3000 with onboard cpu is better copy kickstart in fast ram.

Yes, I spent some time working with Chris on a newer version of this device but we still couldn't pin point the problem, it's performance or reliability was always unstable (random corruption). Annoyed me too but since I didn't have that much information to transfer at the odd time I lived with it. I think he made the last version available online, I wouldn't be able to find it now anyway since my older Amigas are down south.

I think I only ever used it for USB stick transfers on my A4000.

Hi, have you tried my mt4p?
It don't suffer any file corruption because it use a 48MHz oscillator instead a crystal and decoupling capacitors located in right places. Power distribution is very important to make sl811 work well.
Yes, sl811 is a little demon but with right method can perform good work.

Cheers,

Although I've not tried the Mini-Thylacine 4 port version in an A2000, the four I have work flawlessly in my A4000D's and T's, well enough that I sold my Deneb.

Again, in A2000/030, to obtain a reasonable system speed it is indispensable to load kickstart in fast ram.
