  • CDRom use on Buddha 20 year anniversary edition

    I have some experience with these... The SATA device does not have a way to set it up as the primary or secondary device. IDE is designed to handle 2 devices, so unless you can set them, any adapter won't work reliably. Your best bet is to go spend $15-20 and get an actual IDE cdrom drive. There are thousands of them out there, as they used to be heavily used in server farms, let alone nearly every pc of the time had one in it.

  • ACE2 Availability?

    I have 3 A2000s that I use regularly with a group of friends that come over. I find I'm needing 2mb chip memory to run a lot of the (WHDLoad) games. The ACE2 seems to be the best option. Are these going to be available any time soon?


    I have several 8375 chips and PLCC84 socket adapters, so I can build them, if I can buy the boards...

  • 20th Anniversary edition - "Controller not found" error when attempting Firmware update

    I have 3, 20th Anniversary edition Buddha boards. 2 are working fine. The third gives this error when I attempt to run the command "buddhaflashtool Buddha_ROM_52-101.bin".


    This is in a stock A2000 rev 6.2 motherboard. No additional cards. Kickstart 3.1.


    I get the error "Controller not found" every time. I have tried the left and right mouse button presses on power reset and nothing happens. Since I have 3 of these cards, I took the eprom chip out of one of the controllers that works, and put it in the one not working and then the board that wasn't working runs normally.


    Based on that test, the eprom is not working correctly. Can this eprom be flashed outside of the controller or is there something else I can do to fix this?


    Thank you,
