Dropped the ball on this. Again, need to update ExtenDOS too.DarkLord wrote:Can we verify whether or not Roger can flash them? That would be nice, considering
I don't have a JTAG cable, or even any idea where to start.
Ok, finally all cabling has arrived so I put mine together (it's been lying all butchered up for far too long).mdivancic wrote:Waiting for disk module to replace my hard drive before I can install. For those of you who have installed this and the Svethlana I'd love to see pictures of the install.
Why can't you get them from the web page?mdivancic wrote: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?
And it didnt depack on my Kubuntu and Ubuntu machines ( with their default unarchivers + installed one other, but cannt recall now what it was ) I had to send the drivers to a mate with Windows to depack it for meshoggoth wrote: EDIT: Are you using the built-in ZIP-depacker in MS Windows? It's broken by design. Use WinRar, Winzip or some other unarchiver.
Clearly needs to be fixed. Sorry for this, it'll be taken care of soon. Until then, please use WinRar or Winzip.jury wrote:And it didnt depack on my Kubuntu and Ubuntu machines ( with their default unarchivers + installed one other, but cannt recall now what it was ) I had to send the drivers to a mate with Windows to depack it for meshoggoth wrote: EDIT: Are you using the built-in ZIP-depacker in MS Windows?

I'll give it a try after work...shoggoth wrote:Clearly needs to be fixed. Sorry for this, it'll be taken care of soon. Until then, please use WinRar or Winzip.
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.INF.mdivancic wrote: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 have no idea about that oneI'm geting the following error on my CT63 on reboots only: "Bad ROM CRC in chip E". Should I reprogram my CT63 or do I need to flash the boot rom to 1.03c (still running 2.01)?
Yes, the XaAES desktop, sorry! TOS Desktop is working fine.shoggoth wrote:I take it you're not referring to the TOS Desktop, but rather to the XaAES.

Does not seem to be causing any problems, yet.I have no idea about that oneAnd unfortunately 2.0x doesn't run properly on my machine, so I really can't test it.
The last error about bad rom crc is usually down to the 060 running too fast. You may need to try lowering your speed now.mdivancic wrote: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.

Now I really need to get moving on my Mint setup! I just have a basic setup done right now.

Dropping to 76 mhz solved the crc error.mdivancic wrote:That would suck, I'm running at 80 mhz now. (Not that it's not crazy fast for an Atari)...
There's no such thing. Jinneee, Gemini, Thing, Teradesk, either one has its benefits and limitations.mdivancic wrote:Dropping to 76 mhz solved the crc error.mdivancic wrote:That would suck, I'm running at 80 mhz now. (Not that it's not crazy fast for an Atari)...
So more questions now:
So what's the best desktop to use with MINT?
Simply dedicate one partition to each task. C: for MagiC, D: for MiNT, E: for TOS, whatever. Set the hard disc driver to boot the partition with your main system, and press the appropriate drive letter upon boot for the other systems. Or press and hold "Control" during boot to bypass AUTO and ACCs entirely (for gaming).mdivancic wrote: What's the best way to go about setting up the system to dual boot? It would be nice to be able to easily boot into TOS once in a while.
I ain't got a Super Videl but a Radeon on the CTPCI, yet the solution is the same: I've got a 20" LCD (1600x1200) with dual input. Both inputs are connected to the Falcon, and one single key press on the monitor switches to either signal.mdivancic wrote: So, what are the rest of you doing for displays on the original videl? I'm not fond of swapping monitor cables back and forth. I was thinking of some type of monitor switch, but just wonder what others are doing?
That's part of the desktop, at least for Gemini and Jinnee.mdivancic wrote: Where do I go to find out about getting a picture on the desktop?
Thanks Ektus. I'm running Teradesk, so looking for help with that...Ektus wrote:That's part of the desktop, at least for Gemini and Jinnee.mdivancic wrote:Where do I go to find out about getting a picture on the desktop?

Ektus.
The SuperVidel is located on the 32-bit 68060 bus connector; this interface doesn't "exist" for the 030. So the CT6x needs to be active.calimero wrote:I just prepare to put SuperVidel inside my Falcon in original case.
I have quick question: will SvethLana work from plain TOS without CT63 (or CT63 must be active...)?
I figure this out as soon as I try to run SuperVidel without CT63shoggoth wrote:The SuperVidel is located on the 32-bit 68060 bus connector; this interface doesn't "exist" for the 030. So the CT6x needs to be active.
Currently there is a MiNTNet driver for the SvethLana, which means you'll need FreeMiNT to use it.
SvethLana is a 100Mbit card on a fast bus, it should be quite a bit faster than the NetUSB. Any speed limitation is more likely to be in the MiNTNet stack (which has some short comings) rather than the hardware.calimero wrote:btw what is speed of SvethLana? Currently I am using NetUSB on ROM port but I guess that SvethLana is faster?
