Replied to the thread A604n clockport extension doesn't screw in under floppy drive bracket.PostI swapped it with one of the other case screws, which seems to work.
I don't think Commodore had the best quality control when they built these things! -

Sounds like the "last disk bit" is set in the RDB. Launch HDToolbox with that config, then the first CF card will be shown as "changed" - save the changes, reboot and you should see both cards. -

Replied to the thread A604n clockport extension doesn't screw in under floppy drive bracket.PostThat's a rather fine-threaded screw for going down into the bottom plastic. Are you sure you've got the right screw? This one seems to go into the drive, not down through the board. -

Replied to the thread A604n clockport extension doesn't screw in under floppy drive bracket.PostIt's about 6mm.
It seems to have original screws everywhere else but this poor A600 has had a hard life judging by the state of it.

Replied to the thread Amiga 3000D always resets once before succesfull WB start with the Buddha.PostOS 3.9 installs ROM patches that cause a reboot on the first start - that's not a property of the Buddha, but of OS3.9. -

Replied to the thread A604n clockport extension doesn't screw in under floppy drive bracket.PostYou should not need a longer screw - unless someone has inserted a shorter one before. Can you take a picture? -

Replied to the thread Acatool MAPROM breaks when setpatch is called.PostAll in all I can't get the system reliable using Acatools. MAPROM just won't work reliably no matter what I try. I will probably wait for a good power adapter first, then test further from that point onwards. I hope this new PSU you're working on will be… -

I'm pretty sure it does reboot with Acatool 2.1... this is from cold boot. It will boot, screen stays black, power led dims for a bit, then it boots again. Booting from cold also takes considerably longer. -

Posted the thread A604n clockport extension doesn't screw in under floppy drive bracket.ThreadHi,
I don't know if this is a problem with the A604n as such, but I can't get the clockport extender to sit under the floppy bracket. It's like the screw is too short - it just goes round and round in the hole. Without the extra height of the clockport… -

Not easily, no. It's something that only a single type of Amiga PSU had, and that was an old 2.5A type.

Replied to the thread Acatool MAPROM breaks when setpatch is called.Post(Quote from Jens)
Ok, is this "cable drop compensation" something that I can fix? Or should I get a better/newer PSU in which case; which would you recommend?
About the reboot, I am loading it from ROM so it should not reboot? I just ticked "maprom"… -

Replied to the thread Acatool MAPROM breaks when setpatch is called.Post(Quote from VosCoBoss)
Sounds like the typical "PSU does not have cable drop compensation" problem.
(Quote from VosCoBoss)
It depends on what you're doing in terms of MapROM: If it's from a file, you get a reboot, but if it's from ROM, the latest… -

Replied to the thread Acatool MAPROM breaks when setpatch is called.PostThanks for the information! I will not be using an ATX PSU then, instead recapping the original PSU.
In the meantime, I found out something interesting; it boots with MAPROM and setpatch when the PCMCIA card (CF transfer kit) is removed... it does do a… -

While "ACAinit" blocks access to the ACA's registers, I recommend not to use the mmu library.

You should do that re-cap some time soon.

Hi Jens, thanks for your reply!
The card has been purchased from yourselves a couple of weeks ago (order ID 73205), so it should have the hardware patches. If you like I can make pictures no problem. I did not make any modifications to…
