TF1230, KS3.2.2 with ehide, problems

[dj_pirtu]

Just got myself 3.2.2 ROMs with ehide and trying to boot from 32Gb card (OS3.2.2) which is on TF1230. CF-reader is buffered.

It boots but crashes quite fast if I do anything. Card works from internal ide just fine.

The question is (tried to google answer too but no luck): do I need the ehide module/driver still in AmigaOS if it's is KS? And if I do, how do I install it?

Are you using a quality CF card like Sandisk? also I think Kingston cards can give you problems I think, and have you tried a IDE to SD card as I find these work very well, If you have the ehide in the 3.2.2 roms then you do not need to load that module
And lastly there is a new Firmware out that fixed a bug regarding OS 3.2.2 and file transfers( used to hang the system), so update it if you have not already

There was a recent FW update for this.

I got this 32Gb: https://amigastore.eu/908-amigaos-321-cf-card.html#/
and this: https://amigastore.eu/en/857-kickstart- ... 322.html#/

Didn't know there was new FW for TF1230... Just programmed quite old version there to get Nexus7 demo working.

Edit: I have this tf1230r1_2021_10_30_alpha.zip so where I can find newer one? Search and Google don't help...

Great! Thanks! My questions can sound a little stupid but I got my first ever Amiga few months ago and never used any Amiga before at all. I have learned a lot in short time but still there are some holes and sometimes even google don't fill them.

I've heard that IDE speed can be boosted by loading KS ROM in to fast ram, is there a difference with 030/50? Any possibility for issues?

Still I'm learning how to do it...

It will be faster if you have an MMU. If not it wont.

Everyone on Exxos is here to help not ridicule, we do not see any question as stupid, that`s why it is probably the best retro site around

As Terriblefire says install the MMU libs and MUfastrom for some extra speed

Got the new firmware programmed but no difference. Still gives errors, data corruption, crashing etc.

This is rev 2b motherboard and I haven't removed those two capacitors which can help with the clock signal... But, everything works flawless when CF-card is on the motherboard so don't know.

CF-reader is from amigastore too, buffered one.
