HI
we have downloaded the latest spider file and we are using the latest poseidon V4 program
Still getting the same error
In your post, you mentioned Device 0,1,2 on the poseidon software. Can I ask what do you u mean by that? |

You need the image on an external site so you can use the IMG gagdet to add the URL off the image. AFAIK you can't upload imaes to the AW site. |

also you can check the pciinfo command to make sure the spider usb pci card is seen by the mediator and it should have 3 lots of info displayed _________________

i have also re-installed the software and now i get this error:- ENVARC:PsdStackloader:unknown command..

No graphics card? Think that was needed and the cards had to be installed in a certain order if memory serves. _________________ If your nose runs and your feet smell, you're upside down. |

I seem to remember the memory from the graphics card was needed for the spider. It was a problem many years ago with Poseidon, don't think it is now.

Sounds like the installation broke. But this is a bad way of running a program. Do these people even know how AmigaOS works? This is for enviromental variables, not programs! Now wonder these Spider cards cause so much trouble.

Given the Spider is expensive enough it should be included. But yes before it was made open source you neede a key. That's another thing, the Poseidon software version must match the spider.device version. So if you have the free version you need the later device to work with it.Last edited by Hypex on 15-Dec-2014 at 01:12 PM.

That's right. A VGA card needed in the right slot and other PCI cards below in a certain order. A lot of docs must be read to set it up. For something made to simplify the life of an Amiga person it is fairly technical. |

Good you got it sorted. Now, is this a PCI wireless card? Perhaps see if the driver has any docs about PCI position. |
