There was discussion at some time, but I don't remember what the solution was to
the problem of getting a 2090a running on an A3000.
I know that there is a problem with it 'trying' to DMA to fast mem (No can do
on a 16-bit controller), so you need to make sure buffers and the like do not end
up in 32-bit Memory (fastMem).
I do the following:
run nofastmem
binddrivers
dir dh0:
And I get my DH0: partition (a 1 cylinder partition that just contains the
mountlist of the rest of the drive).
I then mount the following Device
/* MountList entries for Rodime RO3055 (40 MB ST-506) Hard Disk */
MH0: Device = hddisk.device
Unit = 1
Flags = 0
Surfaces = 6
BlocksPerTrack = 17
FileSystem = l:FastFileSystem
Reserved = 2
LowCyl = 3 ; HighCyl = 869
Buffers = 50
GlobVec = -1
Mount = 1
Mask = 0x00fffffe
BufMemType = 2
DosType=0x444F5301
#
I then do a 'Dir mh0:' and it tells me that it "can't get information .. Not a
filesystem device".
I have tried without the Mask, I have tried with BufMemType = 0 (To 'allow'
buffers in fast memory), and it always comes up the same problem.
Any ideas?

Not a >filesystem device". Remove the "filesystem" line, or point it at a copy of the 1.3 FFS (don't put it in l:fastfilesystem!) Remember, FFS is now in ROM, so there's no l:fastfilesystem normally. On your A3000Install disk there is a copy of the disk-based version of the new OFS/FFS filesystem for use in rigid- diskblocks. -- Randell Jesup, Keeper of AmigaDos, Commodore Engineering. {uunet|rutgers}!cbmvax!jesup, jesup@cbmvax.commodore.com BIX: rjesup The compiler runs Like a swift-flowing river I wait in silence.

Did you ever Prep the Harddrive with the 2090 Prep command and have the RES0: device mounted? You need your 2090 manual to get that Harddrive running! |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Paul Aidukas - Sysop --> Brevard MainFrame BBS! 407-952-6969 24 Hours /\ | | Courier HST 14.4 // 100% Full UUCP User Access via: C-Net BBS! \/ | | Aimiga 2500/020 _ //+ Melbourne, | paul@theborg.mlb.fl.us | /\ | | Later.......... \X/ Florida | paul@olympus.mlb.fl.us!theborg | /\/\| |---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Why would you want to run a 2090(a) on a A3000?
