Re: FKey +-

Hi Thematic, Looks like minus is FKey's special control character. If you define a hot key with the following key sequence, numpad's minus key should work: NUMPAD -- To make the main keyboard's minus key to work, try this key sequence: -- Maybe one of the developers can shed more light on this matter.

Re: Spare U-Boot

Maybe some pics/photos (Willem programmer, PLCC32 socket, windows software flasing chip,...) will be nice to have/see. :-) Here you are: https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3883/15136484492_dd496f7aae_b.jpg Sivava Willem PCB50B programmer.

Re: Spare U-Boot

Thanks to tonyw's image file I found the right settings for the programmer and managed to write a working Flash ROM :D Thanks Tony! If someone else would like to clone an U-Boot flash ROM using a Willem programmer, here is the setup that worked for me: a flash ROM chip: AM29F040B-70JF Sivava Willem ...

Re: Spare U-Boot

Not with a commercial programmer but with my own home-made one. I built one into the external hard drive case for my Amiga 500, and used that to read, copy and write Flash images. No problems with any of the chips I did, but there were a number of Flash ROMs supplied with the early A1-XEs that were...

Re: Spare U-Boot

I ended up buying a Willem programmer. I read the content of the original AmigaOne U-Boot flash memory and wrote it on an empty flash chip. The programmer didn't report any errors and all the data seems to be on the new chip. However, Amiga won't boot with the new chip :( I also tried writing the da...

Re: Version numer when overwriting files

If you in the same time as moving press right Amiga-key you will copy the file instead, which will overwrite the old one. Perhaps not exactly what you want, but it gives the same effect as dragging between volumes. It doesn't seem to work here. I think the right Amiga key is tied to the Workbench f...

Re: Version numer when overwriting files

Sounds like a good idea.

What I have never understood is why you can't overwrite files inside a volume. I.e. moving a file gives you an error message if there is a file with the same name in the target drawer.

That's good to know. I was planning to install an another hard drive in my AmigaOne. The second hard drive would have shared a bus with a ZIP drive.
