Timtheloon's Micronik 1200 Infinitiv Tower with Warp Engine 040

[Timtheloon]

Hi @Formentar

I have not tried to be honest, but I don't see why not, with the weather like it is at the moment my man cave is not seeing much action due to the heat but when it cools down a bit I will give it ago

i like the setup,but i really dont like the case,and i thouhgt about getting one back in the day,never like them

So I finally got this to work properly with the Warp Engine with this Amiga 1200.

On the start-up, Dcache & Icache were always off, so when testing on SysInfo, it was slower than a standard A4K.

Now, with the right line in the start-up Sequence (SS), they are all on, and System Info matches the one @Boing-ball bought recently.

Also, with the upgrade to a Rabbit Hole Computing ZuluSCSI V1.1, it is a nice, speedy machine.

I know there is a jumper on the warp to enable and disable cache. I'm wondering if this busboard blocks it because I need a line in my SS to get it to work.

@Tbsnc99 seen that @Boing-ball is holding out on you with some pics here is mine

Nice! Maybe one day i might get the chance to add one to my collection got most other amiga computers. Just missing amiga 1000 but can't justify the cost lol Thanks for posting i love to see these great bits of history still being used

@Timtheloon & @Tbsnc99 sorry. Been a bit busy. So many projects on the go plus life getting in the way
Looking good. Wasn’t aware of the caching issues on the Warp. Only played properly with my updated 060 version.
When I get chance will try and take some piccies of it and the other for comparison. My original Warp is with Hese to resolve an issue I am having with the Saft6luck rev 2.2 re-Amiga A4000 Motherboard. So When I get that back…..

 

[Timtheloon]

Hopefully you wont have the issues with cache on an A4K I really do think its this Busboard which causes the issue

 

[Timtheloon]

Oh and I have heard that OS3.2 maybe the reason why I cant access the Picasso IV boot menu

Next step should be CSPPC + CVPPC I think...

I can never afford one of them a fully working one anyway

You could if you sold some of those other Amiga's you've hoarded

I’m in the middle of just that setup on my Micronik Tower. Struggling to get AmigaOS4.1FE CYBppc.device to play nice with a 36GB UW Fujitsu drive. Either locks up or says no device. From what I’ve researched. The OS4.1FE uses its own CYBPPC.device and ignores the one on the CSPPC itself.
The CYBPPC.device on the CSPPC is very tolerant on the SCSI chain setup.
Plan for me is to have dual boot system with 4.1FE and 3.2.3 with Ultra SCSI-III performance.

Anyway, this is a very interesting topic, and yes, I would have been very curious to know if OS4.1 would run on it!
Just when I think I've seen everything on Amiga, something interesting always comes up!
