Software News : New 51.54 IDE/SATA driver pack on os4depot |
| posted by sg2 on 1-Apr-2006 16:03:19 (3768 reads) |
http://os4depot.net/?function=comments&file=driver/storage/ide_driverpack.zip
This 51.54 driver set is to be installed over an OS4 update 4 system (with or
without the 51.51 driver pack pre-installed).
These drivers address a couple of issues which arose after the OS4 update 4 release, which were not completely fixed in the 51.51 pack:
- the "strange pause" problem with sii0680 was not fully fixed
- a minor bug in IDETool (would not "-r" or "-d" some CD/DVD drives)
Just copy the files from "Kickstart/" to the directory where you store your kickstart modules (usually "SYS:Kickstart/"), and cold reboot.
If you have found the alien easter egg driver, and want to try it, do not forget to add it to your kicklayout, and to read the corresponding doc (you may have to set an uboot envvar to have your board recognized).
If you want to purchase a supported board, please head up to the hardware sponsors who supplied the boards used to develop those drivers:
www.soft3.net
or
www.gurumeditation.se
Enjoy !-)
Disclaimer:
This informal interim release has been considered opportunate by the author since the OS4 components concerned are somehow critical.
This release is made on the author's goodwill basis.
It is not to be considered as official Hyperion Entertainment software.
Use at your own risk ; do not use if you do not want to.
Do not waste your time spilling comments everywhere about this "illegitimate nonprofessional release process", especially if you do not use AmigaOS4. Same would go for the use of a ZIP archive, which works perfectly on OS4.
Kind regards,

| Hello Stephane...
If you have a moment, could you please comment on the problem that I detailed in post #15 of this thread. I still havn't been able to get the Syqest drive to be recognized in Workbench. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

| Hi,
Yes, sure, sorry for loosing track, although I do my best not to forget anyone :)
Okay so from what you tell me, your drive is properly listed by UBoot when it queries the SCSI board, right ?
If this is the case then the UBoot variable is either properly set, or not set and your board has the right PCI product ID. In both cases, it is OK.
Now, what is the SCSI ID of the Syquest ?
Does MTB list the lsi58c8xx.device in the device selection window ?
Can you grab me a serial bootlog ?
Another thing (and this might be the key), is that the diskboot kcikstart module and its diskboot.config config file, as you have them from update 4, do not auto mount the lsi53c8xx devices.
Thus you may have to use Mounter to do so... What does Mounter list when you launch it with the device tooltype set to lsi53c8xx.device ?
Regards,
