tryphoncosinusHello Mntmn. Someone helped to use pastebin to upload my log : https://pastebin.com/v7bDjwMe15:36
mntmntryphoncosinus: cool, thanks15:39
mntmntryphoncosinus: sooo you're looking at NTSC Hires and you get a black screen, and these ntsc/pal switching things repeat over and over on the uart output? is that what happens?15:39
mntmntryphoncosinus: did you boot all the way to workbench or does this happen already in Early Startup menu?15:40
_BnuThe constant switching between PAL/NTSC does happen on some old A2000s, I believe someone even made an application to make it stop doing it.15:42
_BnuHappens on my ancient A2000 (which says A2000 on the motherboard rather than B2000).15:43
tryphoncosinusEarly startup or Workbench display have the same behavior. With 1.9.2 rc black screen disapears but with USB UART connected, black screen appears again. Because of speedy ntsc/pal switching?15:44
tryphoncosinusMy A2000 is rev 6.215:44
mntmn_Bnu: whaaaat?15:45
_BnuYeah. It only sticks on PAL once every ten boots or something.15:45
mntmn_Bnu: seriously? that's a hardware bug?15:45
_BnuI believe so, yes.15:45
mntmn:0 :015:45
mntmndo you have any links with info on this?15:45
mntmnit's the first time i ever hear this15:45
_BnuDoesn't happen on my B2000 with the ECS Denise.15:46
mntmntryphoncosinus: you say on 1.9.2 black screen disappears, what does that mean, what do you see instead?15:46
_BnuI had a lot of problems finding any information about it, and eventually mostly gave up, since the reset line is partially busted on my old A2000 anyway.15:46
mntmnrev 6.2 sounds not old though15:47
mntmn(i also have 2x 6.2)15:47
_BnuYeah, not sure which part it is that causes it. It seemed like it could be related to the PSU, somehow?15:48
_BnuI can't actually remember what I googled either...15:48
_BnuBut there was definitely some tiny application you could stuff in the Startup-Sequence to force it to stay on one display mode.15:49
mntmnah, wasn't there a jumper for vsync?15:49
mntmntick vs not tick15:49
_BnuNot on the A2000, no.15:49
_BnuOn the B2000, maybe.15:49
mntmnthere was something in a1k or community where someone fixed something with a tick jumper15:49
_BnuThe A2000 mobo doesn't have a single useful jumper on it, haha.15:49
mntmn> J300        Selects LINE/VSYNC TICK source15:50
tryphoncosinusNo, I replaced 1.9.2 firmware by 1.9.2 rc you provided here : I tested it and saw that black screen disappears letting only the scrolling down issue of the image. However, with USB UART connected, black screen appears again. These are my observations.15:50
_BnuBut yeah, try adjusting J300 if you have it on your motherboard.15:51
mntmnJ300 is near the top right corner, i guess it is under the power supply? http://amiga.resource.cx/photos/gallery/a2000rev62.jpg15:51
mntmntryphoncosinus: if the image scrolls down, it sounds like you used A500 firmware15:52
tryphoncosinusSorry, I replace 1.9.1 by 1.9.2rc15:52
tryphoncosinusHow to check this?15:52
mntmnonly with md5 sum15:53
mntmnyou use linux, right?15:53
mntmnso mount the sd card and type md5sum BOOT.bin15:53
_BnuACTION uses Linus15:53
tryphoncosinusThat's ok for the firmaware ID. I do not know how to check if I use A500 firmware ?15:54

tryphoncosinusOk ...15:55
tryphoncosinusI use BOOT.bin having 32f80f75a7f6b4c22af6e172b451bbb915:58
mntmnok thanks16:04
mntmnthat is not the a500 version then16:04
mntmnit's zz9000-firmware-r-1_9_2-rc1-zorro2-noautoboot16:04
mntmnok could you try to change jumper J300?16:04
mntmnit is above denise, see here http://amiga.resource.cx/photos/gallery/a2000rev62.jpg16:04
mntmnexcuse me, it is above PAULA16:04
mntmnah hmm this might be useless16:05
mntmnorrrr maybe not16:05
tryphoncosinusI am checking ...16:06
tryphoncosinusJumper on J300 is bridging 2-3 pins16:14
tryphoncosinusI  change it ...16:14
tryphoncosinusIT WORKS !! Guys you had both right intuition.  But colors are really saturated ... 16:22
tryphoncosinusThe next step is to install the ZZ9000 in my other A2000 (mounted in a tower case) which contains a lot of hardware stuff.16:35
mntmntryphoncosinus: it works? that's very interesting16:42
tryphoncosinusYES, thank you so much!!!16:50
_BnuYeah, the main problem on the older model (A2000) is that there's no such jumper, haha.16:51
_BnuAnd no one ever really detailed a fix for the problem on those, probably because no one cares.16:51
_BnuThey're so uncommon compared to the newer models.16:51
mntmn_Bnu: i see! you mean the braunschweiger :317:02

Jope_Bnu, cut the tick line coming to the cia and jumper vsync to that cia pin :-)18:45
Jopepin 19 on the cia that is connected to the parallel port18:47
Jopevsync you can take from the rgb connector or video slot.18:50
_BnuCan't really do that, sorry.18:52
Jopewould you like someone else to do it :-)18:53
Jopeit can actually be done without any soldering18:53
_BnuSure, but I would not like to ship the old A2000 anywhere really, lolb.18:53
Jopeif the pin 19 is bent out of the cia and you use test clips to get vsync from the agnus18:53
_BnuI'd rather just not use it and use the other one.18:53

tryphoncosinusJ300 cannot be put on 1-2 pins with an ATX PSU powersupply : it does not generate ticks. On my second A2000, since I cannot use ZZ9000 + J300 bridged on 2-3 pins, I am stuck : A2000 does not starts.19:23
tryphoncosinusZZ9000+A2000 NTSC seems to only work with original PSU.19:25

gdonnertryphoncosinus: If you like, I can add an entry to the ZZ9000 Compendium's Troubleshooting section in regards to the PAL/NTSC switching issue?19:30
gdonnerSomething like: "If you have an Amiga rev. 6.2, and your system appears to be switching back and forth between PAL and NTSC, try setting Jumper 300 (above the Paula chip) from 2-3 to 1-2."19:31
gdonner*Amiga 2000 rev. 6.219:31
tryphoncosinusYes this is a good idea as long as the original PSU is used. This is not a solution with ATX PSU. I wonder if a solution can be found to use ZZ9000 with internal ticks.19:33
tryphoncosinusmntmn : a though about this ?19:34
gdonnerThanks--will add those critical details19:34
mntmntryphoncosinus: aren't there atx adapters with tick emulation?20:29
tryphoncosinusEvery time I find an ATX PSU, the webpage states that J300 needs to be set in 2-3 pins (internal ticks). Internal ticks cannot be read by the ZZ9000?20:35
mntmntryphoncosinus: tbh i have no idea what is going on and why this fixes things. 20:41
pasiksome info here about atx psus and tick: http://web.archive.org/web/20210518121029/www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/designs/Amiga_ATX_Adaptor/amiga_atx_adaptor.html20:42

- gdonner (QUIT: ) (~gdonner@c-98-253-93-116.hsd1.in.comcast.net)20:43
pasikso yes, some atx adapters generate the tick signal20:43
pasikand for example the one above allows setting the tick to either 50hz or 60 hz, by using a jumper20:43
pasikalso: http://web.archive.org/web/20211018182903/http://ianstedman.co.uk/amiga-power-supply-guide/20:45
pasikA2000: Note: This system requires a ‘tick’ circuit which provides a 50/60Hz +/-10% reference signal to the video chipset or motherboard jumper J300.20:45
pasikA3000 also requires tick20:46

tryphoncosinus2021 UpdateI: 'm discontinuing sales of all Amiga related projects. Reduced order volumes and extra issues with order post Brexit have not made it viable to continue. All information, including BOMs, Gerbers and notes are now in the repository, if you want to build your own.20:49

mntmni think i have one from ian in my a3000d20:50
tryphoncosinusYou may replicate it as an option for us:-D20:51
mntmnyeah i guess that would be possible20:51
tryphoncosinusIn the past I checked that my A2000 full populated with zorro/ISA cards cannot be fed by original PSU. Of course, I dedicated the ZZ9000 in this A2000 tower to replace my Picasso IV.20:53
mntmnoh! i would have thought that the original psus are stronger on the 5v rail20:54
mntmnmaybe not if they're old...20:54
tryphoncosinusRight : stability of my old PSU decreased a lot and I had to remove it.20:55
