First steps in CT60 land

Post by Klapauzius »

Finally got around to wiring up the CT60 Falcon this evening.

Well .... it WORKS!! :thumbs:

It didn't want to boot up at all first, until I realised that the IDE hard disk was dead.
After unplugging it and using the IDE CF card as a boot device everything seems to work fine so far. :)
Boots into Videl and/or CTPCI/ATI mode without any issues. Haven't tried the 030 mode yet, but of course I don't care that much about the 030 ATM. :wink:

The advertised ZIP100 drive was missing, but I got a (black!) MegaSTE keyboard instead, which works great with this Falcon.

The Plextor CDRW gets recognized by HDDriver 8.42, but I can't seem to be able to open the drive icon on the TOS desktop. You can hear the drive CD spinning up, but no window is opening. Ah well, not a big issue right now.

More about it later, have to play with my new toy now. :D

:D

You will need ExtenDOS to use the CD drive..... unless you made a classic error and put a DVD in! :lol:

maybe try install new devices ? the drive letter may have changed because you have taken something out ( the IDE drive )

Have fun! Don't forget to sleep! 8)

It's the one from a fellow countryman.
He had it on offer at amibay.com. It was a 'swap-with-Amiga-hardware-only' trade, but I managed to persuade him to sell it to me. :)

Fonz (from the Netherlands) still ows me one, but I don't have my hopes up high with him...

Ok, time for the first stupid(?) questions: :)

- when I boot the machine in 030 mode, it doesn't want to see any AUTO folders, neither on hard disk/CF card nor on floppy. I can start HDDriver from floppy from the desktop though and all partitons will be mounted and run ok. It just doesn't execute any startup items in 030 mode. Is this a known problem?

- holding the "V" key to boot into Videl mode doesn't seem to work sometimes (about 3 out of 10 times). Boots to PCI video regardless...

- there's only one floppy drive in the machine, but the systems thinks it has two floppy drives. It's not just the usual logical drive "B". The system variable "_nflops" indicates 2 physical drives are present. I think I remember there was an small AUTO folder program to fix this? Otherwise I'd have to write something myself. :)

BOOT version is 2.01. btw

This happens on my F030 as well, but only very occasionnally. The new machine *never* executes any startup items in 030 mode. Strange...
nativ wrote:What TOS version ? I haven't heard of that before?
TOS 4.04. Could this have something to do with the drive itself?

I'm running TOS 4.04so I don't think its that? I have not idea if this makes any difference but I always install my base System on the 030 side when I set up the Falcon (And thanks to a flakey CF card I've got lots of experience doing this!). May be worth a try if nothing else works. Wish I could be of more help.

Thanks, I didn't check the floppy behaviour in 030 mode yet.

I just discovered another floppy issue (060 mode):

Media change detection doesn't seem to work at all!
That is, when you change the floppy disk and double-click on the drive icon it will always show the old content, unless you 'hard refresh' it with the ESC key.
What's really bothesome is that some installers that require a disk change during install (like NVDI) are broken because of this. The installer just can't see the floppy change, as GEMDOS thinks the disk hasn't changed and will report a file-not-found error, etc.
The disks are not write-protected.

I think this might really be a hardware issue and not CT60 TOS related?
Weren't there replacement drives that had issues with media change detection?

Could shed a bit of light on that now.

It will actually find and run HDDriver in 030 mode *if* HDDRIVER.SYS is located on an SCSI device.
My regular boot device is a CF card on the IDE bus, it won't boot from that card in 030 mode - it does in 060 mode. Now I noticed there is a second master device on the IDE bus .... and that's the floppy drive.
Floppy is master #0 on the IDE bus, the CF card is master #1 on the IDE bus.

Regular TOS 4.04 in 030 mode fails to scan the IDE bus properly due to the floppy coming first, I suppose.

Hm, could my other floppy issues (no media change detection, system sees 2 floppy drives) have to do with the fact that the floppy is on the IDE bus?

I had similar problems. Generally the Falcon is a bit picky with CF cards. In 030 mode I can not use 2 cards on the Falcon IDE. CTPCI IDE works fine (with the right cards).
The 030 boot problem disappeared after I did the SDMA patch that Rodolphe suggests. Is it installed in your Falcon?

Picky seems to be the right word. :wink:
For about half an hour the CF card was 'gone', i.e. HDDriver couldn't see it anymore on the IDE bus, neither in 030 or 060 mode, CTPCI on/off. Now it's back again. Go figure... :coffe:
Seems to be a 'no-name' card, so I ordered a SanDisk one just now.

Regarding the SDMA patch, I honestly don't know. I have to ask the seller.

This is not normal. I suppose your IDE is on the Falcon and not on the CTPCI.

I had once, that the Falcon IDE was not loading AUTO, it was due to a flaky connection on my SCSI chain. I tap on my SCSI connections and it was working.
Make sure your SCSI stuff are not intermittent or just unplug your SCSI and try.

The V need to register during the CT60 Splash screen, that's the colourful screen you see briefly at boot up. Suppose to be for 2 seconds, but mine seems to be faster than that. Once that screen is gone, chances are it will not register. I found that if the key clicks is heard before the splash screen, it like for sure you can go to Videl mode, well, at least on both my Falcons.

What type of CF adapter have you got?
A regular CF adapter is nothing more than some wires connecting IDE to the CF IDE input/output.
So a CF looks like an IDE to the Falcon.
There must be something else on your CF that is looking like a floppy drive.

I have not seen an IDE floppy drive before... you get HDD type access speed while using a floppy?

Try with a regular HDD if you have.
The Falcon IDE is slightly old and relies on PIO (may be POI 1 only), so the IDE storage device must understand this.The newer CF or cheap/low quality CF may have a badly implemented PIO support or support only higher version. This may cause trouble.

Recently, for testing of CTPCI IDE, I converted my CF used for file transfer for auto booting. I forgot that it was not a pure TOS partition, and it failed to auto boot but if I ran hddriver from floppy, I can access it. Once I re-partition it to TOS partition, it ws able to auto boot.

Turns out the Falcon just doesn't want to boot from the IDE CF card in 030 mode. Now I noticed that the boot partition is in BGM format, not GEM. This might be the reason?
Yes, the IDE bus is on the Falcon, not on the CTPCI. It was the same without any SCSI device connected.
