Hello All
Thought I would share my CD32 SX32 Pro setup with you again
( Proof of ownership photo
)
So a while back I seen NoPyroNoParty post about his CD32 setup which had a kickstart Mod for the CD32, which intrigued me due to it giving the CD32 3.9 kickstart. here is a link to the mod (Click Me)
little back story I have been struggling to get the CD drive to work in ClassicWB 3.9 due to the Amiga OS update would load thus making the CD32 unable to see its own CD drive when workbench had loaded. here is a link to that thread (Click Me)
So I contacted a friend and asked if he would Recap one of my CD32 Motherboards and also if he would be able to do the CD32 Cosmos kickstart mod too, he said He would see what he could do.
So the CD32 motherboard was returned to me and last night I re-assembled the CD32 with the SX32 pro with FPU and 128mb ram and flashed her up
At first nothing was happening I was just getting the Amiga CD32 start up screen and it wouldn't even read the CD's but luckily in my excitement I had not pushed the CD flex cable all the way in and had the jumper setup wrong on the CF to IDE adapter
Second attempt was much better CD now boots woo hoo and in ClassicWB 3.9......................
well YES!!!! finally the CD32 see it own CD drive in Workbench and I now have better large HDD support woo hoo (Think I will do this mod to all my CD32's )
I have one weird issue and that is with the FPU showing it running at 86Mhz this I don't understand I'm sure it wasn't doing this before
One thing I like about this CD32 motherboard is the CD cable connecter it a nice push in one unlike them fiddly white ones with the lock top like the ones on my other CD32’s
Other projects of mine you maybe interested in:
A500+:
