I bought a second-hand X5000 from somebody in Cheyenne. It was several years ago. It has uboot version 2014.04-00137. There are some things it can't do. I'd like a later uboot version and I would pay whatever it takes.

I have emailed A-Eon using the contact information on the web page. They are the ...

I installed the new AmiUpdate and ran it. It offered a lot of new stuff. I installed all of it. Now it looks like I will be able to install AmigaOS4.1 Final Edition Update 3. That is an interesting development. Now the question is: isn't AmiUpdate supposed to update itself when an update is available?

I did use AmiUpdate to install AmigaOS4.1 Final Edition Update 2. That always goes very well. I have installed everything AmiUpdate offers except for MUI. I noticed there is a new version of AmiUpdate. AmiUpdate used to update itself. I don't think that is working. I will install the new version of ...

[Note: I posted this on Amiga.org and decided to post it here too just to cover the bases)

I always thought of the X5000 as the most powerful of the next generation Amiga computers. But it's crippled by a lack of support. My Amiga NG interest goes in spurts. It's been years since I powered up my ...

My computer is a SAM460EX. I'm using the latest SDK with OS4.1.4 with Cubic IDE. I'm working on a rather large project. I have an almost identical setup on my microA1. What happens is when I use gdb to debug it and set a breakpoint, it will stop at the first breakpoint, but will ignore any ...

In another topic I described my efforts to remove the Sii3512 card from the PCI slot, attach a hard drive to the built-in SATA connector, and install a Sound Blaster card in the PCI slot. I tried three different Sound Blaster cards. The last one I purchased is identical to one that two SAM 460 users ...

I solved the lockup problem by finding a 3-1/2-inch hard drive that the build-in SATA interface supports. It didn't like the Kingston SSD drive and a Toshiba laptop drive. Both were 2-1/2-inch drives. The solution was easy, but not really obvious.

The jumper is on and Uboot is set to SATA-2. This is what the docs say to do. My SSD drive has SFS/02. I was able to save a couple of small files. Now I'm thinking it's the driver. If it is it's very flakey, not usable at all. I may have to give this up until the driver is improved.

I can boot from the SD card. It is a copy of the AmigaOS4.1 update 2 install CD. There are some other things I can't do. I booted from the SD card with the SSD drive connected to the onboard SATA port. I tried to modify the kicklayout file on the SSD drive, commenting out all the drivers but the ...

I have an AmigaOne 500. It has a sii3512 PCI SATA card with two ports. A Kingston SSD drive and a DVD drive are connected to the two ports. I'd like to pull the sii3512 card and connect the SSD drive to the onboard SATA port and leave the DVD drive disconnected for now. I'd like to try using a Sound ...
