Hi,

Thanks for the info. As I start to play with the resolutions, here are some questions for you:

1) Should i make the changes in the screenmode app or do all testing via the P96 preferences utility and leave the screenmode app at 640 x 400?

2) Does it matter if the 'screenmode app' and the p96 prefs have different resolutions or should they match? Which one takes priority over the other?

2) Since the monitor is running at 60hz, am I correct in that I can only use those resolutions that include 60hz in their range?

Thanks,

Hi,

Never mind on the explanation of the hi-res part. I went into 'screenmode' preferences and selected '640 x 400' for NTSC: High Res Laced', then ran the test of the new setting. The max colors is set to 4 and the monitor is set at 60hz, 15.72khz.

The test generated a display that displays as 640 x 400 x 2 generated test pattern. but I cannot save the settings as all of the buttons(save, use, and cancel)P are not visible at the bottom of the screen.

Hi,

Can you explain what you mean by a normal hires native screen? The Viewsonic monitor can do up to 1920 x 1080 so that's what i tried to set up the Picasso IV.

I also tried setting up a Dell 19 inch monitor but I get the same error message as the Viewsonic 27 inch monitor. The message appears when I try to open the P96 prefs program.

I did not have the 'watch thread' box checkmarked so i did not know that anyone had responded, but i have done so. So when you respond now, I'll be right on it.

At this point, i just want to be able to open the prefs program and start over again

with the setup of the monitor and the Picasso IV.

Question for you: does the current configuration of the monitor have anything to do with the error message I am getting? I have more than 60 megs of ram available via a TF accelerator if that is a possible issue.

I'm looking forward to your help with this issue.

Thanks for your help so far,

Hi,

I'm having an issue with the 3.4.1 version of P96. I installed it successfully in my A2000 and ran the new prefs program to setup the monitor mode.

First, the program showed 2 video cards(Village 1 and the Picasso IV). I selected the Picasso IV which would not be highlighted to indicate that it is the selected board. Next I tried to select the mode 1920x1080. The program kept selecting 320x240 x4, x8, x16 and so on. I could never select any other mode.

After rebooting, I can't run the P96 prefs program as I am getting the error message 'Failed to fit the window' which I am guessing is due to the small monitor mode.

How can I restore the default mode so I can get in and start again? I am trying to set the video mode to 1920x1080. The monitor in question is a viewsonic 27 inch monitor.

Thanks,

Forgot to check the 'watch thread' checkbox.

Hi,

Attached is a screenshot of the showconfigure app of my A2000 with a Picasso IV card. I hope

it helps in your investigation of this issue.

Looking forward to fix for this issue in the next update.

Question: does anyone know of a website that lists the product ids of Amiga equipment and the manufacturers of the equipment?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have the same issue as the original poster except I am running kickstart 3.1, os3.14, and a Picasso IV on an Amiga 2000. My install is a fresh install as well. The Picasso IV board is detected thought the install process and no other boards were selected.. Other than selecteing 'intermediate mode' at the start of the install process, i took all the defaults.

I am getting the following error when the computer is booting up below:

'Could not create 'graphics board content' for Picasso IV.

How do I completely un-install the v3.3 software install so I can download and try the older versions of P96 until I find one that resolves the original issue? I may start with v2.1b and go from there since it seems to work well.

Thanks,

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.

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.

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

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.

Arthur

Hi,
I am having the following issue with the latest version of the P96 software:

I downloaded the adf file from your website, un-packed it, and then used my gotek to try to install it on my A2000. However when I click on the P96 icon, it opens up and is empty yet says that it is 69% full. I have a screenshot available but it is too big to attach for upload.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi,

I just opened up the picasso96 software in adf format and there was nothing in the opened window to click on. I would attach a screenshot of the opened file but the screenshot file is 4mb in size

At the top of the opened screen it says 'picasso96 59% full, 362kb free, 517kb in use'.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Thanks for the update.

Hi,'

I just downloaded the package and am writing to ask if an adf version of the software will be available in the near future.

Thanks,

Ok thanks, please keep me informed as to your progress. Your efforts to create the .adf version of the software is much appreciated.

Ok thanks. I have an account so I'll log in and check it out.

Thanks again,
