Entry 6th May 2017: Post: 4
Given up kinda on the 1060
I do this all the time. I say I'll give up and then find at 2 in the
morning I'm still here.
I plugged in a 1010 floppy drive to the back of the 1060 and for some
reason on booting this time the 5.25" floppy burst into life and I got a
different screen with a RAM test and the recognition of the Janus
Library giving me a version. The joy was short lived as there was no
input from the keyboard and no action other than this from drives or any
other interface. I tried other disks and clicked away but resolved I
needed the necessary DOS disk.
I sifted through all I had and found indeed a DOS disk plus reference to
JANUS but sadly no luck. Worse when I powered down and restarted the
floppy didn't kick in when I booted as before.
So I decided to create a new sidecar disk and this time use OS 1.3.2.
These are the files I created disks from...
CBM-AmigaJanus21-3683.dms
install disk v2.1
janus.library v36.83 (21.8.91)
280 kB
CBM-PCInstall-334.dms
install disk v1.02
janus.library v33.4 (11.09.1989)
328 kB
CBM-PCInstall-331.dms
install disk
janus.library v33.1b5 (25.10.1988)
324 kB
CBM-PCInstall-322.dms
install disk
janus.library v32.2 (25.04.1986)
182 kB
CBM-PCJanus.zip
PC Software
99 kB
Anyway... I went through the process of creating disks again and this
time when it got to the point of copying to RAM to create the disk I get
an error message that the RAM disk is full. I have the 1050 256K in the
front on the 1000 but what I am dealing with is differing stages of the
Amiga OS in respect of the dates for the Sidecar software. Maybe 1.3.2
was a bad idea. and I should go back to 1.2 again.
Whenever I do these things I just keep thinking of different things to
do and before you know it ... its four in the morning. So I give up for
tonight and hope I can switch the brain off without getting out of bed
like I have done so many times in the past.
Really never understood why humans have to sleep. Such a waste of time.
Never mind. Tomorrow is another day.
