I have but there is a problem
ZIP 100 drive doesn't work with a1ide.device when drive's interrupts are enabled. If you want to use a1ide.device, you have to turn interrupts off. It can be done with Idetool (see command -i).

I ordered two flash memory chips (AM29F040B) for spare U-Boot ROMs and sent e-mail to IDE-Flasher author asking if he still sells IDE-Flasher kits, eventhough IDE-Flasher may be a too demanding project for me. I checked my A4000 and it has an Allied Telesyn (AT-2500TX) network card, which has an RTL...

When you mentioned network card, I suddenly remembered that I have a network card somewhere which has an empty socket. … And I found it! It's Compaq 227955-001 PCI 10/100 (http://images.esellerpro.com/2131/I/453/0/lrgscaleDCP_5489.JPG) and the socket is perfect for the U-Boot chip! Looks like FlashT...

I found a SourceForge project where you can download Geri's DualUboot design files: http://sourceforge.net/projects/uboot-amigaone/. The project mi...

Hello,
I would like to make a spare U-Boot for my AmigaOne-XE. Do I need special hardware to write the U-Boot on an empty flash memory chip or can the Firmware Updater (when booted from a floppy disk) write the U-Boot on an empty flash memory chip installed in AmigaOne?

Ah, so you did

Hello,

There seems to be a problem on the Members page: http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz/memberlist.php. Clicking All or any of the alphabet links results in an Object not found error.

Do I have to live with no sound or how can I tell if this motherboard has a sound chip? (to use the onboard audio) Probably the easiest way is to check the debug log right after Amiga has finished booting. To do that open a Shell window and enter command dumpdebugbuffer. The last 7 (or so) log entr...
