- Hello i am having this insane problem and have been having it now for TOO
- LONG PERIOD and noone even best hardware fixers know what is the problem.
-
- okay problem is as follows:
-
- Amiga is working fine everything works even my Merlin in Z3 mode.
- i have -11 buster and -8 wd scsi chip.
-
- now my machine used to work fine with ethernet NE2000 and GG busboard
- then it stopped working after i moved my amigas place. i thought my
- GG or ne2000 was wasted. Then after figuring it is a kludge anyway
- i bought a new Hydra Ethernet card and installed it worked fine until
- i tried ftp on it... or then sumtimes amitcp looses it when i type too fast :)
-
- okay thought it was a bug in hydra.device.. but nope used same card and same
- device on friends a4k which worked fine....
-
- then installed NetBSD1.1 on my a3k and noticed it worked 'almost fine'
- ftp works telnet works rlogin works but i get sum console flood from
- error ed0: NIC memory corrupt . Reset ed0: and then after little hangup
- from 1 second to 10 seconds it resumes ftp telnet what ever network
- transfer i am using and all packets i ftp work fine.
-
- okay then thought with hardware manuals etc it must be with paula.
- bought new paula replaced it.. nogo no help problem is still there
- expansion slots are all getting all powers good etc everything is tested
- and to work fine but still no idea why in hell does the ethernet card
- of GG bus card does not work. It seems all cards that require IRQ's
- on Z2 slots get wasted when there comes alot of requests.
-
- anyone ever encountered this problem b4?
- even the local hardware fixing shoppe didnt know the answer to this weirdo
- problem .
-
- Please help me out any suggestions would be nice to be emailed to me
- as i hardly have time to read news areas and these do expire way too fast :)
-
- thanks
