#Amiga Diagnostics
10 messages in this thread
I have an Amiga 2000 with a 2088 Bridge Card which lately has been giving
me headaches. When I transfer a file using AWRITE characters get changed,
for example test.txt becomes txst.dud or something like that.. I have
tried all of the Awrite flags, and I have obtained new versions of the
MS-Dos and Janus V.2.0 It still does not work.. Is their ANY
diagnostics for the amiga 2000 & the bridge card?? I have tested the
bridge card with Checkit ™ and all is fine, but the Amiga doesnt seem to
have an equilivant program. I think I have a bad dual port ram.. Is that
Resonable??
I am using Kickstart 1.2, Work bench 1.3.2 ver 34.28
PC Emulator Bios 3.4, and according to the pc dos screen
I am using Janus Handler Version 2.63 & Janus Library Version 33.1..
My Janus version is supposedly 2.0 (the latest..)..
Please help me, my local dealer and commoder have been totaly useless…
Totaly USELESS!!!

Alan, have you tried reseating your bridgeboard, making sure all of the
contacts are clean?
Betty
Yes, I cleaned the edge card with a pink erase, cleaned the zorro and pc
slot with dielectric cleaner and switched sockets, also made sure all chips
were well seated.

Alan,
Then, yes…it does sound like you may have bad dual-port RAM.
And no…there are no good diagnostic tools available. My only
suggestion would be to try to reload the software to see if that could
possibly help.

Have you made sure that both sides, the Ami AND the bb have the Janus 2
versions of all files? And didn't a whole bunch of us give these same
suggestions a few days ago to you?
Ron
Yes, a whole bunch of you did. And I purchased brand new software from CBM
for the whole shebang..
STILL NO WORKIE!!
Alan
Have you 1. reinstalled Janus 2 on both ami and bb sides, 2. removed
anything left over from Janus 1, 3. removed your SIDECAR settings file and
tried all again?
Ron
Um… just on the offchance… are you using the binary cmd line switch
when you copy??? otherwise, c/r and lf chars etc get munged.

I have tried both sets of flags.. Even if I had not tho, CR and LF's dont
just happen in the middle of a word!
