Back again after trying your suggestions. Just "in case," I removed the unused CVisionPPC card, tried the upper most ZIII slot with Mediator empty except for Radeon; it boots as before only in Deneb RST mode, but "no go" in ZII, or standard mode. [ After the first couple of weeks...

I can get to the guts of Ami tomorrow; I have a second CSPPC board with it's own 128MB ram I can try. PSU is New (400W classic AT & perfect fit) but I can put back into use the other one (~250W), or check it with a Multimeter. Current CSPPC has 2 blowers (a fan on each CPU) and a large fan attac...

Thanks for the help, My A4000T has revision 11 Buster; I use a Radeon 9200 256MB card from Elbox (I have a Voodoo 3000 & Voodoo 5 in storage). To the best of my knowledge, the Deneb was working beautifully under 3.9, but I pulled it a month ago when I installed the Spider USB card (5 vs. 3 USB P...

Just to add fuel to the fire, I put my Deneb in my Ami, with the install jumper set; copied the necessary files over (not Subway.device) did a Poseidon install and a Deneb install (no Clock port). Then after switching the jumper back, again started the reboot cycle over-and-over. Tried ROM mode (no)...

Thank you AlekC,

Very good explanation of the issues of aging technologies. I look forward to further insights you have on the future of the Amiga Classic in both hardware and software progression.

Well thanks again, I hadn't heard of RunInUAE. I would have gotten Update 4 on sooner, but the Ami teardown left my OS 3.9 partition on the "ramlib program error #80000004" track (and I unfortunately made a bad decision and made a backup of that state) and am rebuilding it and thus slowed ...

Thanks Again! I didn't know the ZIII vs SCSI3 access speed -- very interesting and useful information. I can put a CF (IDE based) on the UWSCSI chain, but then I would (likely) put my speedy IDE DVD-R/W back on the SCSI.device bus -- it probably is best there. I have a SCSI card reader (Mech's A4000...

I appreciate all the help! I would assume that the ZorRam makes a better SWAP partition, over one of the Atlas V SCSI-3's, but at this point I have quit assuming anything. The only program I use that runs under OS4.1 is Final Writer (PageStream and every other program I use, no matter what OS Versio...

Thanks for the info! Yes, the Deneb works fine (with Luciferin on Compatibility black-list & no-popups), though one reason I bought the stupidly expensive Spider card ($90 +$39 shipping -- very eBay-like) was to save my [now rare] Deneb for other setups (silly me, I have a Turtle USB Audio sound...
