    Hi,


    I am getting error messages trying to set up the Rapidroad(latest version) usb module. The module recognizes the ntfs formatted usb drive that is plugged in but gerneratesthe following error messages below:


    'error - masstorage class - couldn't find/load filesystemj for usbscsi.device unit 0 as UMSD'

    'error - masstorage.class - (Possibly no FAT95 installed?, Please check!)''

    I have screenshots of the issue but they are too big to be uploaded.


    Thanks for any help in advanced.

    Please learn how to downsize them - the size limit is here for a reason: Most pictures don't contain as much information for justifying multiple megabytes of upload.


    From what you've posted already, it's a simple matter of a missing file system that you should copy to your L: directory.


    Jens

    You need a file from the FAT95 package.
    Available from Aminet.


    AFAIR Fat95 is also part of the Poseidon archive.

    Have a look at the docs, you just need to copy one file to the folder l: on your system disk.

    It's there in clear text: L:NTFilesystem is missing. This may actually not be part of the Poseidon package, as that's to rarely used.


    What OS did you use to format that stick? Never seen one formatted with NTFS.


    Jens

    Hi,


    I used Windows 10 to format the usb stick. What is the best OS to do the format with and what is the best format for the usb stiock? If I can get the usb ports working, i can use the usb stick to bring over all the lha files that i need to get the Amiga on the internet and into the 21st century.


    I downloaded the .adf version of the Posideon software for the install as i currently don't have anyuthing to open and install the .lha software versions.


    Thanks in advance for all help so far. looking forward to resolving this issue, completing the setup of my A2000 and using it again.

    I don't think it's a Poseidon problem, but a format problem: You formatted the USB stick with NTFS, which is pretty unusual on a Win10 machine. TO my knowledge, it requires an active decision to deviate from formatting a stick with FAT. Most, if not all, USB sticks come pre-formatted with FAT file system.


    You have Poseidon installed, it finds RapidRoad and it sees that a stick is inserted. That's a huge step already, and only the file system issue needs to be resolved. You don't do that by re-installing Poseidon, but by either formatting the USB stick with FAT file system, or by installing NTFilesystem in your L: directory. You can find NTFilesystem on Aminet:

    Hi all,


    Here's the latest results of my testing and troubleshooting to get the usb ports up and running on my A2000:


    I reformatted a 16 gb usb drive as fat32 and as an ntfs drive. In each instance:

    the drive is recognized and displayed.


    In the Poseidon software under 'usb controllers', the following info is displayed when I added the rapidroadcpusb.device: unit = 0

    Online = No

    Product = unknown until online


    In the message log, the message for massstorgae.class says: 'Media does not seem to be FAT or NTFS formatted'.


    Under 'configuration management', the usb flash driveCurzer Glise' is detected successfully'


    If I click on the 'Restart' button in the message log, I still get the 'Media does not seem to be FAT or NTFS formatted'. error message.


    I'd love to be able to upload the log but as I am unable to get online with the A2000, I'm saving the log file so I can respond to any questions about what's happening.


    .Here's hoping someone can respond to this and point me in the direction of possible solutions

    so I can finish getting my A2000 online into the 21st century. I can the be able to download install all of the software I need to be able to cruise the internet with my favorite platform and be productive.with it again.


    Something I just thought about:


    Is there a specific manufacture and model usb drive that will work in this situation?

    Does the flash drive have to be a specific size to work in this situation?


    Just some thoughts, hoping someone has some answers to help me resolve this situation.


    Thanks,


    Arthur

    You need to solve that first. Nothing can work until the hardware is online. Is the white light on RapidRoad on?

    "online" is a network thing - I'd like to point you to our AmiTCP install disk for that. Poseidon will only give you USB functionality, but network is provided by the X-Surf-100, which is independent of USB.


    Jens

    Hi,


    Thanks for the responses and suggestions so far.


    Th X-Surf is working great as it getting an IP address via the AmiTCP software that is installed..


    The Rapidroad module's white light is on as well. It looks like the Posideon software is having the issue. I downloaded the v4.5 software in .adf format and installed it, then tested the install with a 16gb flash drive formatted as fat32 and ntfs.


    In both tests, here is what the log file shows below:


    Media is FAT formatted

    Loading filesystem l:fat95 from rdb failed. Trying DOSLoaded filesystem L:fat95 via DOS!Co

    Couldn t find load filesystem for usbscsi.device unit 0 as UMSD:

    (Possibly no FAT95 installed? Please check!)

    Media does not seem to be FAT or NTFS formatted.


    Please keep in mind that that I don't have any web browser installed at the moment in order to search for this missing file as it looks like it was not included in the adf version of the posideon software. I have also searched for any browser software that I can download in adf format to install, then i can look for the missing file on( Aminet?) that hopefully would resolve this issue.


    I am open to try any and all other ways to get and install this missing file and get my A2000 online.


    Hopefully this file is the missing piece of the puzzle that will resolve this issue.


    Thanks in advance for all suggestions to help me resolve this.


    Side note: Until I can get the A2000 online, I am only able to download and install adf versions of

    software.

    Please make sure to use the latest V1.7 driver:

    Given that the presence of the USB stick is detected, the hardware should be online, so "something else" was wrong when you reported that it isn't.

    The files are so small that you should be able to transfer then using a 720k PC-formatted DD-disk. Granted, it'll be hard to find a PC with a floppy drive these days, but that's the easiest thing that comes to mind right now.


    If you want to generate an ADF, you can use an emulator. Please understand that I can't take the time to make such an ADF for you, given that you're not the first customer and support for RapidRoad has been stopped well over a year ago (might actually be two, can't remember).


    Jens

    Hi,


    Late-nite goofy alert: I resolved the situation .i did download the correct fiel in adf format from your website but for some reason, I kept running an adf file of the software found on the internet that did not include the bonus files that included the install of the fat95 files. The amiga now correctly recognizes the 1gig usb fat-formatted drive. I tried a 16gig drive as well but the 1gig drive was the only one to show on the desktop.


    I expected to see the contents of the drive to be displayed on the desktop once I clicked on the usb icon but nothing showed. I had to go into Directory Opus to see the contents of the usb drive so yet another mystery to resolve.


    Thanks for your help with this issue. I am moving to the next issue: errors with the latest version(V3.3) of the p96 software for my Picasso IV video card.


    Thanks again,


    Atrain01us.

    Not a mystery: WB will only show icons if there are ".info" files associated with the files. If you want to display all files, go to the drop-down menu and choose "Window->display all files".
