Strange question, are there drivers for TOS to access the ext2 and fat partitions created under MINT?

I'm not running execep60, just xControl and NVDI. What does execep60 do?

Mine doesn't have the resister either. One of the reason I went with the USB programer is because I didn't want to modify the CT63. I'll likely never see one again if this one dies. I wonder of there wasn't solder bridge shorting out the pins?

Sure, point out that little detail, which I missed.

What's the minix.xfs file used for? I just copied the ext2.xfs file over.

Good guide BTW, moving along nicely with my setup...

Something had been bugging me about the CT60 for a while... I have "fixed" it and its just booted NVDI, and its not crashed once yet.. I will keep testing to see if I can crash it, but all the known ways for it to crash I have not been able to do yet 8O Here is the image.. Other than you took the l...

When I first got stated with my CT63 I had a tons of problems with it. It turned out that the initial software download was corrupted for the xControl software. I can't remember who set me straight on this, but once this was fixed my CT63 has been very solid.

How does the falcon run on its own?

"Xilint USB Cable"

No, no problem here...

Another problem I just run into, is I updated the firmware to 201 (I think) and now it seems to have reprogrammed the CTCM module to 71mhz. My CPU will not run at 71mhz, so now the CT60 will not boot up :roll: It will boot with a 64mhz osc in there, so nothing wrong, but how the heck are you suppos...

May be it was because you are using USB while I was using LPT. I don't think it has anything to do with the USB cable, I used it and it went smooth on my CT63 last weekend. I did install the software off the CD and I did purchase the xilint USB box. I elected to register the software, wonder if thi...

I found the module in the archive (duh!) and am all set. Now to work on networking and getting the shell running.

So, no sign of xfs anywhere. I'm running mint 1.18.0 on the Falcon. Searched the C: drive, no sign of any xfs file. Found a copy of ext2.xfs on the VanillaMINT distribution and copied it to my 1-18-0 directory. Fixed the problem. Am I ok running the version of ext2.xfs from 1.17.0? Any idea what els...

Just checking: you are running mint right? I guess the only way I can think that this might fail is if you don't have the xfs in the proper mint folder and/or have set mint not to load xfs'. MINT correct! Sorry about that. I'm running the standard .cfg files, with very little changes. Let me check...

Not even 100% sure of that, but I've followed WongCK's tutorial. mkfs.ext2 does what it should, and fsck.ext3 will check the disk, but I can't access it from the desktop. FSETTER also does not recognize it. I spent a lot of time reading the forums last night, but couldn't find an answer. Anyone seen...

That's part of the desktop, at least for Gemini and Jinnee.

Thanks Ektus. I'm running Teradesk, so looking for help with that...

That would suck, I'm running at 80 mhz now. (Not that it's not crazy fast for an Atari)... Dropping to 76 mhz solved the crc error. So more questions now: So what's the best desktop to use with MINT? What's the best way to go about setting up the system to dual boot? It would be nice to be able to ...

I take it you're not referring to the TOS Desktop, but rather to the XaAES. Currently there is no Supervidel-specific video setup module, no. This might happen in the future though. Until then, either set it in xaaes.cnf, or remove the "video" line from xaaes.cnf and set the "default" line in SV.IN...

That worked, I now have drivers and my SV is working fine in Mint. Now I have a ton of questions! A couple to start. Is there anyway to switch the video mode from the desktop, or is the only way to edit the xaaes.cnf file (I set video in Xaaes to 0x441f)? I'm geting the following error on my CT63 on...

I'll give it a try after work...

The expansion port on the side of the A500 is similar to a Zorro II slot in an A2000. Not exactly the same, but they made side carts that allowed you to install an Zorro II card.

Well, I finally got my CT-63 updated and the SV installed. I have video! Now I just need video drivers. I can't get the drivers to download from the Nature web site. Is there any place else to get these drivers? On the plus side, it works! I've got video out of the SuperVidel! I managed to up update...

Correct. Must be run in 060 mode.

I got a CF packaged microdrive, which is probably closest to a real hard drive. HDDriver and AHDI both recognize the drive, when booting from floppy but neither is able to partition it as they can't find the root sector. The microdrive is formatted as FAT in PC. Neither HDDriver nor AHDI isn't able...

Now that my SuperVidel arrived I tried to put it into the original Falcon case but found out that it collides with the harddisk tray. So the question is: Where can I put the harddisk instead? I replaced my HD with this, works great! http://www.ebay.com/itm/170897597954?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trk...

Just ordered a JTAG cable from eBay. It should be in when I get back from vacation.
