PowerZIP (Partis) ohne !ZIPFS?

  • Hallo, seit gestern kämpfe ich mit dem PowerManager von Partis, um ein ZIPDrive (100 MB, parallel) am A3000 zum Laufen zu bringen.


    In dem Paket scheint aber der Treiber !ZIPFS zu fehlen. Kann mir zufällig wer aushelfen?


    Oder habe ich Anfänger etwas völlig missverstanden?

  • Hi Doc,


    hast du evtl. schon mal den ARGO ZipDriver ausprobiert? Wenn du den nicht hast kann ich ihn dir per Mail zuschicken. Es sei denn du bekommst den Treiber nicht auf eine Diskette um diese im A3000 zu nutzen, dann könnte ich dir auch eine entsprechende Diskette zuschicken.

  • Der ARGO-Treiber war wohl schon auf dem System drauf, ging aber auch nicht.
    Das ZIP-Drive ist OK, lief am WinXP-PC ohne Murren
    Wie erwähnt, den Treiber hat Gary mir dann noch geschickt und ich sehe ihn auch in den Tasks (den Treiber, nicht den Gary).
    PowerManager läuft jetzt auch weiter zur Expressinstallation, stellt aber keine Fragen und tut dann so, als sei er fertig.
    1x ist sogar in der Taksleiste (wie heisst die hier?) ein ZIPIcob erschienen


    Wie mache ich denn nun am schlauesten weiter? Ist auf einem unbekannten System gar nicht so einfach, den Anfang des Fadens zu finden.


    Hat jemand den Powermanager in so einer Konfiguration laufen? Vielleicht fehlt mir ja noch eine andere Datei.

  • Ich persönlich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass nur ein sehr früher Typ des ZIP 100 Parallellaufwerks ohne Probleme funktioniert. Es sind die sogenannten PP Typen. Mit den anderen hatte ich ähnlich Fehler, z.B. ein Icon in der Taskleiste, allerdings mit dem Hinweis, dass kein Laufwerk vorhanden ist. Schau doch mal aufs Typenschild welches Laufwerk du hast. Ich werde meinen A3000 am Wochenende aus dem Schrank holen und mal den Fehler nachvollziehen, falls du das Problem noch nicht gelöst hast. Dazu wäre es natürlich hilfreich, wenn ich den gleichen Treiber verwenden würde. Da ich nur den Argo Zip Driver verwende müsstest du mir den Powerzip Driver mal zumailen.


    Grüße

  • Hallo, das der Argo-Treiber nur mit den frühen ZIPLfw funktioniert ist bekannt. Deshalb hab ich ja den Powermanger gekauft, dessen Treiber eigentlich mit den "jüngeren" ZIPS zurecht kommen sollte.
    Ich werde hier erstmal in Berlin Ringtausch machen: anderes ZIP testen, anderen A30x0 mit meinen ZIP usw.
    Bei Erfolg mache ich Meldung hier.

  • Was mir gerade eben einfällt. Ich glaube der A3000 gehört doch zu den Geräten die keinen Bidirektionalen Parallelport haben. Ich meine da gabs früher mal ein nachrüstbares Modul um diesen bidirektional zu machen?


    Jörg

    “I'd like to go against you and see what your made of.”

  • Yep,


    jetzt bin ich mir sicher, ich habe noch einmal in meinem Textarchiv ;) gesucht und folgenden Artikel gefunden aus dem sich im Umkehrschluß ergibt, dass der A3000 keinen bidirektionalen Parallelport hat. Dieser wurde erst bei den Nachfolgern A3010 und A3020 eingeführt. Also wirst du mit dem Zip am Parallelport keinen erfolg haben. Einziger Ausweg wäre ein SCSI Modul mit entsprechenden SCSI Zip.

    Acorn Extends Best-Selling A3000 Range



    Acorn Computers is complementing its best-selling A3000
    computer with two new and enhanced models designed to meet
    the growing needs of both consumer and educational users at
    aggressively reduced prices. The A3010 series has been
    designed with the home user in mind, whilst the A3020s have
    been produced for the Education market.


    The A3010 and A3020 are both driven by the new ARM250
    microprocessor from Advanced RISC Machines. This runs at
    12MHz and delivers 6 MIPs (millions of instructions per
    second) - providing some 1.4 times the performance of a
    33MHz 386DX. The ARM 250 was purpose designed for Acorn and
    integrates an ARM 2 processor with the other controller
    chips in one small device. The new computers all feature
    a 2MByte floppy disc drive, a bi-directional parallel port,
    full VGA monitor output, and Acorn's multitasking RISC OS 3
    operating system. They all have a serial port and an
    expansion slot provided to allow the connection of other
    devices such as video cameras, scanners or MIDI instruments.


    The A3010 has a grey case and green function keys, and was
    designed following feedback from the consumer market place.
    Reflecting the needs of the home consumer, who wants to get
    up and running straight away at the lowest possible cost, it
    has a UHF TV modulator to allow the computer to be attached
    directly to a TV screen and two ports for attaching switched
    joysticks to enhance the playing of games. The A3010 offers
    32-bit performance in a 1MB expandable system. It is
    available as part of both a new "Family Solution" and the
    "Learning Curve".


    The A3020 is cream coloured with red function keys to
    complement the styling of the leading products in the
    education market. It has been designed by Acorn in response
    to the changing and expanding needs of education,
    particularly in the primary sector. The A3020 has internal
    network interface sockets and hard drive support built on to
    the circuit board allowing it to be fitted with a hard drive
    and connected to a network and still have room for a
    separate internal interface to be installed.


    The new A3000 range exploits the wealth of software
    available for home, education and business use - now in
    excess of 2,000 titles. The multitasking environment of RISC
    OS 3 - provided for the first time on the A3000 range -
    allows applications to work together to provide a
    tailor-made solution for the user. As with all of Acorn's
    RISC computers, a suite of applications is provided with
    each machine to the get the user started immediately. This
    includes both a drawing and painting program, a text editor,
    a desktop calculator, alarm clock and also music program
    software.


    The new "Family Solution" is designed for those who are new
    to computing. It consists of an A3010 together with a word
    processor (EasiWord) and a game (Quest for Gold). To help
    the inexperienced user, there is a comprehensive audio
    training tape and a number of blank discs are provided to
    complete the package.


    The "Learning Curve" comes with a range of software which is
    designed to pull together the needs of computing in schools,
    at the office and in the home. It is a complete system
    comprising a colour monitor and an A3010 with 2MB of RAM. In
    addition to the enclosures found in the "Family Solution"
    there is a set of Genesis applications and a guide to the
    National Curriculum. Acorn's PC Soft with DR_DOS 6 is also
    provided to enable PC programs to be run by the parent
    wishing to bring work home from the office.


    The educational range of A3020s have as standard 2MBytes of
    RAM upgradeable to 4MB. Reflecting the growing importance
    of networking in all sectors of Education, the A3020
    provides the facility for either Econet or Ethernet to be
    fitted without the loss of the internal expansion slot. The
    low cost A3020 2MB floppy disc model has the option of an
    internal IDE 60MB hard disc. It also comes complete with a
    choice of colour matched monitors.


    The new range of A3000s start at #424.68 (#499 inc VAT) for
    the A3010 "Family Solution" and go up to #899 for the A3020
    with 60 MB hard disc and colour monitor.


    Acorn's Marketing Director, Mike O'Riordan said "The new
    A3000s have a competitive edge over other machines aimed at
    the consumer and education markets in a number of key areas.
    For a start, they offer the lowest cost of access to the
    power of RISC computing giving unrivalled performance for
    their price. No other manufacturer in the world can
    currently offer RISC computing for under #500!


    "The A3020 was designed specifically for the education
    market sector in which we have set the standards for the
    past decade. We have always know that education has
    differing needs over and above that of other markets, and
    these new products have been specifically designed to meet
    these needs. " he added.


    Acorn's Product Manager, Kevin Coleman said "These machines
    offer superb value for money. Not only is the initial
    purchase price low, but the cost of ownership is low as
    well. The prices of software and hardware add-ons are
    extremely low when compared with similar quality products on
    other platforms. In addition, with our new extended warranty
    arrangements, customers have the added satisfaction of
    knowing that in the unlikely event of something going wrong
    help is always at hand.
