Yesterday I had to reformat one of my Wedge System drives.  I carried
out the low-level format and then ran the Amiga format command.
All things seemed to be going well until it reached the phase
when it displays ``Initializing Disk''.  At his point I get
a requester stating that the unit is not a DOS disk.  If I issue
the info command, the drive is shown as ``validating'', but there
is no disk activity, and, in fact, its been validating for 24
hours or more now, so I assume that it is not really validating.
I am at a loss as to what to doin order to restore this drive
to its former useful state.

A while ago a lot of people were asking how to install Sony drives to work on
their Amigas. Well I've finally dug out the information and here it is.....


    It works on an 11W-50D and 11W-00D drive.....

        (LG 13 and LG 27 boards..... Possibly more but I've never done it
         on any other drives.)


        REMOVE :  R136    (2.7k)

        ADD :     R167    (47k)
                  RJ103   (Wire Link    0k)
                  RJ104   (Wire Link    0k)
                  R123    (Wire Link    0k)

        On board LG 13 ONLY!!!

        ADD :     SL110-A (Wire Link    0k)


This  should do the following:

        Enable pin 2, disk change.
        Enable pin 34, motor up to speed. Active low, rather than just a pulse.

Any other info needed mail me......

Cheers,

        Joek

P.S. Sorry for the long delay......

 Hello Robin. I read the message where you were desribing the problems
with wiring a 1 Meg Agnus (I suppose in addition to the excisting 1/2
Meg. I would like to hear more about this.

 Did you piggy back the chips, and if so did you pull some pins out. I

CMOS needs power to switch its state. And when the frequency goes up,

Hi, A friend of mine needs to upgrade the motherboard of his 2000 from

I have recently succeeded in murdering somebody's poor 500 (yes, I'm
sentanced to 2 years without a mouse, okay? :) and I can't figure out
what could be wrong.
 
I took the 8372A chip out of his computer and put it into mine, and
did the 1 meg hack and all that rot..  His computer sat in the floor
(safely, nothing happened to it I know of) for a month while Grapevine
flittered my ECS Denise around (backordered), and when I finally got
the chip to replace in the other computer, I came up with a red screen.
 
That doesn't make sense..  It worked before I took the chip, I made
sure it did..  Okay..  I swapped chips out and swapping that computers
Denise with my old (OCS) Denise, I then got a very dark blue screen.
Dark as in RBG = 002.  I can not get it to do anything.
 
Could someone help me out here?  I really can't afford to get his
computer sent to a shop at the moment, and he probably wants it
back!  (He just plays games every now and then on it, but *I* wouldn't
want my computer gone for a month.. :)
 
 
And also, it might not have worked when I got it, but I could not
get the composite output to work on it.  Possible lead to problem
there..
 
(Quick note...  Is it possible to use an Agnus puller WITHOUT ripping
up the chip??  I did a doosy on my 8370 chip with it..:(

Yep, that's the one.  And since it is made for the PCmica slot,
then why would an A500 owner want it, seeing as there is no 
PCmica slot on the A500?

This chip is also said to support HD drives.  

Excuse me, but isn't that a software implementation?  So it would still
be possible to use HD drives with a 2.0 KS and the 2.1 OS, wouldn't it?

Good point. However, will Commodore release 3.0 for normal amigas? I mean,

  It's a very good idea.  You'll love the speed and enhanced graphics... as
well as the new software that takes advantage of AGA and the advanced micro
processors.  Plus, you're helping increase the user base of the AGA machines
which is VERY important.  Check TENEX at 1-800-PROMPT-1... I bought my 500
from them in May, I might get a 1200 through them...not sure yet.

I have an A3000, 16Mhz. I recently bought a very (very) cheap HD: Conner 100 Mb.
After installing it in my A3000, the following occurs:

	1) I start up my A3000, and the only HD that is found is my Quantum 
	   (52 Mb).

	2) Then, I reset, and now the Quantum and the Conner are found.

	3) If I reset again, only the Quantum is found.

	4) If I reset again, the Quantum and the Conner are found.

	5)  ....

	...

This means I always have to reset 2 times before everything is ok.
It would be nice if someone can tell me why this problem occurs.

I'm not certain about this, but I'm pretty sure that the 68040 does
not change the user programming model of the 680X0 as compared to the
68030.

I suspect that these new versions of these programs just have 2

I am having a problem with my B2000 Rev 6.2.
 
I have the following fitted:
 
  CBM A2088 XT BridgeBoard
  SimonCard 128Kb XT RAM expansion (in PC-XT slot)
  Western Digital Hard Card (30.57Mb) for XT (in another PC-XT slot)
  CSA 68020/68881 processor card
 
Certain programs (mainly games) seem to crash when the BridgeBoard is
installed.  The crashes vary from locking up to resetting with a Guru.
 
If I remove the BridgeBoard (leaving the hard card and ram expansion), the
programs work fine.
 
(The processor card is disabled throughout).
 
So, I require some solution.
 
Can I disable the BridgeBoard (to stop it AutoConfig'ing) etc. (the games
run from the 'insert disk' screen).  Either via software or hardware?
 
The problem occurs under both Kickstart 1.3 and 2.04 (both fitted via a ROM
sharer).
 
The problem has occured since when I only had the bridgeboard and hard disk
(and not the ram extension or processor card).
 
Please help (grovel grovel), I'm getting cheesed off!

Hmm, How  can this be ?? Is the 060 a multi processor in one?
At a clock speed of 25 Mhz, the most a "normal" cpu (that I am aware of)
can execute at most 25 million instructions per second.

The # is usually smaller unless the code can utilize the pipleline 100 % (not
bloody likely!!)

If the 060 was internally "overclocked" so that it can actually exec 4
instructions per "external" clock, this would *still* limit its usefulness.
(if if the outside world talks to the cpu 25 million times a second, it
wouldn't be much useful to have more than one can actualy use.)

Comments? Corrections anyone?
