_BnuDMA RTG doesn't work on Z2 at all, I don't think.00:24
_Bnu(Unless you added some different hard coded offset for it.)00:24
mntmnok, that explains it :3300:28
mntmnbut also, without dma, there is now a new bug on z2 with ze sprite00:28
mntmnmight be p96 related00:28
mntmni will clean + push all sauces tomorrow00:28
mntmni think z3 is pretty release ready, for z2 i need to fix that sprite bg color thing.00:29
mntmnlast real firmware release is 9 months ago oooof00:29

_BnuCan't you guys just get a CPU board with a boot ROM that soft reboots the computer for you to install patches...05:25
apolkosnik[m]One could possibly flash the eprom on CS MK1 with something like that, since it has the payload that turns off the FPU, so that 060 can boot into kick 3.0 or 3.105:28
apolkosnik[m]lol05:28
apolkosnik[m]just burned 3.2 roms for my a4k, and it even worked05:29

mntmni mean, ZZ has a boot rom now, it could of course trigger 1 inconvenient reset ;)09:19

trixsterok. to just use the usb as mass storage, FAT32 is ok?20:44
trixsterright, new zorro3 fw does not even boot on my machine. power light flashes a few times then the machine hangs. i assume there is a conflict with the promethues firestorm in my AA3000+ system. beta 1.8 fw i was using from bnu from last year still works ok20:49
trixsterthat fw was dated 19 Jan 2120:50
mntmntrixster: also not after a reset?20:52
mntmnwhere can i get such a system? ;)20:53
trixsternot after reset!20:53
trixsterfrom hese on amibay! it is an amazing machine :D20:53
trixsterthe best of 3000 and 4000 plus pci and the dsp20:53
mntmnwant!20:56
mntmnanyway, sorry to hear it doesn't work on that machine20:56
trixsteri wonder if it is a zorro address space conflict? with the working 1.8 fw, the prometheus sits at $60000000 and the zz9000 sits at $48000000 and it's 256mb at $5000000020:56
trixsterdoes 1.9 change the address space for zz9000?20:57
mntmnno20:57
mntmnalso, the addresses are autoconfigured20:57
trixsterhmm, ok!20:57
trixsteri guess Prometheus Firestorm is a niche market, but it would be interesting to see if any other uses have similar issues with fw1.920:58
mntmnyeah21:00
mntmnif you have too much time you could also try the Zorro 2 firmware21:00
mntmnthat one doesn't add the extra memory21:00
mntmnand the speed is only ~half of that of Z321:00
mntmnbut would be interesting to know if that works vs the Z3 firmware21:01
mntmn(needs the .nodma driver in the Z2 zip)21:01
trixsterwill do now21:01
trixsterz2 fw same behaviour as z3 fw21:25
mntmnok strange21:28
mntmnthangs for testing!21:28
trixsterno problem!21:28
