Cross checking done against XE ??

Anything I can say, that try another PSU, lowpower model. If you can get one temporary from somewhere ?

Coder is located in Thailand, which if not a third world country, definetly isn't close to civilisation. Chances are "good" he'll have a longer delay than most other people

Ethernet needs to be restarted quite often on my SE. It's never died during a transfer for me, but I haven't downloaded anything huge yet. I have a bunch of other computers with CD burners etc for things like that

About USB, it seems VERY odd if both onboard and PCI USB shows the same problem with mass-storage not working. For that to be a hardware bug would mean a pretty substantial one. For now I write it off as a driver problem, but I could of course be wrong. I never got USB storage to work in Linux, so immediately wrote that off. Haven't had any use for it since. But I'm lucky enough to have enough old computers to make due

@ALL
i have a hammer chisel and a few big screwdrivers i can solve all your woes with the A1,s

I don't know what people in Thailand would think about you calling them uncivilized and living in a third world country.

Do you have any change to test it ?? I don't just now :)

How much your SE differ from leter boards ??

Damn sight more civilised than most European countries I reckon, death sentences for drug traffickers and probably better ADSL rollout too.

Nope. Internet in Thailand is crap and crap and double crap. ADSL speed is most of the time LOW and has only value as being 24 hours online for a fixed price. There are some places here in the big city that have ADSL but of course not here in my home. When I tell them were I live they start laughing. There is always a problem getting access to foreign sites. I am stuck with dailup which is lower then low but that is because of the phone company. But last few months I always have problems getting access to sites not located in Thailand. Thailand wants to be the IT place of Asia but looking at the infrastructure on high speed internet you can call that a joke. Maybe the government thinks that we all live in a certain area of Bangkok. One cool thing is that in Bangkok there are a lot of wireless internet hot spots.

Yeah they are strict with drugs an all. A prison here is a real prison and not like in Holland were it seems you can even order pizza. I mean the cell, excuse me room, is bigger then my room at my parents place. But if you are a people person you might adjust easy here in the Thai prison.

I have the 686A southbridge, and I possibly have one revision "too early" of the ArticiaS...

If, unlike you, they had a shred of humour, they would see my point. If you're shopping over the internet, anywherethat ISN'T Asia is too far away if you're IN Asia. And I didn't say Thailand IS a third world country, I said it's pretty far away. Just with a slight, humorous twist.

Aha! So I was right. You DO live pretty far from civilisation.

Is it ok to ask how you ended up there?

Indeed, but I can't see many other possibilities right now. It could be a driver bug, but that's hardly a brighter prospect because it would depend on some functional difference between the SE and the XE big enough to trigger the bug. That means drivers would need to be specifically tailored to work with the SE. I can't see that happening beyond the default set of OS4 drivers, and not even then if nobody knows exactly what is killing the current drivers.

You can't do a proper job with only half a repair kit - where's the blowtorch and superglue?

Humph, amateurs!

We lived about a year in Bangkok and we did not really need to be there anymore so we decided to move to the country side. Living in an apartment on the seventh floor in a CROWDED city might be nice for some time but in the end you feel trapped. So instead of traffic jams, smog and bad smells we thought the country side would be a nice change. And it really is. Everywere you look you have a mountain view. Really breathtaking. Bangkok is breathtaking to but in a whole other way (smog).

Psstt actually the opening of a "karaoke bar" which could be seen from our apartment is the reason we moved. After that me being on the balcony smoking my cigar got a whole different meaning. I mean a dozen handsome girls dressed lightly had a whole different effect on my wife.

I was just thinking about that, but you hit the nail right on the helmet:

@all

there is nothing drastically wrong with the XE. (at least not mine - USB works fine, and I have no current use for the ethernet port) bear in mind it IS only the 3rd incarnation of Eyetech's AmigaOne (including the ill fated AmigaOne/1200).

put it this way: how much faster is an XE than the fastest classic ? or the classic you last used ?

ie: about 3-4 times faster than a cyberstormPPC's clock, and twice its FSB.
better yet : 32 times faster clock rate, twice the memory bandwidth, and more than 5 times the 'FSB' speed. (see my sig!)

There's nothing wrong with having to make several attempts before getting a design right -- provided you don't sell any of the failed attempts to paying customers.

I have a suspicion that the XE may be de-throned when Adam Kowalczyk's A1200 busboard ships. With any given CPU or clockspeed it should be quicker than an A1 because it uses DDR memory (the 400MHz trapdoor version may also be quicker, in memory speed at least, because the Articia's memory controller seems to be rather sluggish).

sounds good !

is this not the Coldfire jobbie ? PPC ?

got a URL ?

" With any given CPU or clockspeed it should be quicker than an A1 because it uses DDR memory "

I'm pretty sure it is not signifficantly faster, if it's faster at all..

Is the memory interfaced to CPU via 133Mhz bus?
(I assume so because there is no DDR interface on the 750CXe CPU that Adam uses...)

What northbridge is Adam going to use?
