Archie A3000 inbound

[rubber_jonnie]

It's been a long time since my last post in this thread.

Yesterday and today I managed to find some free time to tinker with my ethernet podule.

Getting it to work was simpler than I thought, but I cannot say it was plug and play either...

I now use Uniboot2 instead of Uniboot31 due to the fact I couldn't get the podule to work with the last one.

After setting the Inetsetup app, I also had to change some parameters in the Startup file.

Omniclient and FTPc are already installed in the Archie and I now have to figure how to connect to my Mac (but cleaning my desktop of its dust is more urgent). :oops:

They aren't the easiest when it comes to TCP/IP. For file transfer I found Sunfish/Moonfish worked well for NFS shares. Looking good.

Don't those 2 need an external library in order to get them run ?

I've also heard they are memory hungry, and my 4 MB are easily full...

I can't remember which one is a memory hog, but yes, one is. Trouble is, getting anything else but those working on my A5000 just didn't happen.

And do you exchange your files between your Mac or a Windows PC ?

I couldn't get it to work with my Mac, which is an M1 MBP, but I was able to make it work with both Windows and Linux.

Ah bummer...

I hope I have more luck with my Intel Mac.

My workbench PC is a 2012 Intel MBP with boot camp, so I might try that, but I do recall having issues using Win 10, but on my 2016 server it was all fine, same for a Linux laptop I built.

I could never get SMB or FTP working at all.

Not very encouraging...

No. What's worse is I think I have another issue as booting today it's just crashing and all my customisations are gone, and no sign of my BlueSCSI :(

More for the project list, wondering if it's the CMOS as I recently replaced the battery and when it did boot the clock was way off.

Also if I leave it I get random beeping and on screen corruption. Could be bad RAM I suppose.

EDIT - Think I have a BlueSCSI image issue, need to replace with a backup. Maybe swap SD as well.

@rubber_jonnie

Hate that kind of situation...

Everything works smoothly and then suddenly you encounter issues you never had before.

Hope for you it's just the Blue SCSI image.
