Short: Massive release 1.24 Author: Gilles Pelletier Uploader: gilles pelletier live fr (Gilles Pelletier) Type: driver/other Version: 1.24 (18-Feb-2024) Requires: ANAIIS / Thylacine-1.3 Architecture: m68k-amigaos Take (8,6,80) MassStorage (SCSI) or (8,2,80) MassStorage (CD/DVD) interfaces into account, others are ignored. WARNING: Massive is experimental !! MIND YOUR DATA, YOU MAY LOSE YOUR DATA ! You must have copied all your important data in a safe place and read carefully the following before start. Install ~~~~~~~ copy usbscsi.device into DEVS: copy massive where you want (assign and mount should be present in C: for KS1.2) Install fat95 (see on aminet, simply copy fat95 into l:) Install ANAIIS (sure it's already done) or Thylacine-1.3 How to test ~~~~~~~~~~~ Launch usbstart (or usbstart is launched in the startup-sequence) Plug the usb thumb or disk device in a port (highway, subway...) Launch Massive from the Workbench If the following icon entry is set, the user has nothing else to do. MOUNT=true UNMOUNT=true Warning, this part will take a while (30 seconds to 5 minutes, certainly depending on the size of the key, and the disk state (validating...)) If you have 2 or more keys, launch massive twice or more ;) The disk icon should appear on the workbench. Into the massive icon you can set READWRITE=TRUE to make Read/write, by default you can't write to avoid mistakes. be carefull with usb thumbs, write number are limited, let this to false. MOUNT=TRUE mount the key automaticaly (KS 3.1 only). MOUNT=ALL mount all partitions known from the RDB (KS 3.1 only) UNMOUNT=TRUE the device is automatically removed from the system (KS 3.1 only) - if the stack stops. - if the user closes Massive window. - if the user unplugs the stick (key, thumb, disk...) MOUNT=OLD same as TRUE, but force the mountlist in 1.x syntax. MOUNT=OLDALL same as ALL, but force the mountlist in 1.x syntax. these token are usefull in multiboot, where mount command still in 1.x for compatibility. BUFFERS=200 set the number of buffers (use memory as disk cache to speed up) MASK=0xffffffff MAXTRANSFER=0x0001fe00 BLOCKSIZE=512 FILESYSTEM=l:fat95 (fat95 or fastfilesystem is guessed by reading block 0) DOSTYPE=0x (force the dostype, useful if we want to change the file system) COMMANDCLASS=10 (don't use it) command class (6, 10, 12, 16) DELAY=1 (don't use it) delay between CBW, DATA and CSW TRACE=FALSE (don't use this, it's very slow) (TRACE=TRUE (trace only prolog), TRACE=FULL (trace all access very slow)) (TRACE=LOG (trace all in RAM:massive.log)) PRODUCT= can identify a device by its product id VENDOR= can identify a device by the vendor PRI=1 set pri to 1 freeze mouse but increase transfer rate WAIT=10 wait 10 seconds before start, if you want to autoboot. SCSICMDS=TRUE force scsi commands instead AmigaDOS commands. WINDOW=FALSE no window (default) WINDOW=TRUE show anoying window with errors. WINDOW=SPLASH window during booting and mounting. NOEXPANSION use the c:mount command launch massive within a shell run >NIL: massive MOUNT UNMOUNT and the command arguments MOUNT to mount MOUNTALL to mount all partitions known from the RDB. MOUNTOLD same as MOUNT, for 1.x mount command. MOUNTOLDALL same as MOUNTALL, for 1.x mount command. UNMOUNT to unmount READWRITE to make Read/write, by default you can't write to avoid mistakes. be carefull with usb thumbs, write number are limited, let this to false. BUFFERS=200 set the number of buffers (use memory as disk cache to speed up) MASK=0xffffffff MAXTRANSFER=0x0001fe00 BLOCKSIZE=512 FILESYSTEM=l:fat95 (fat95 or fastfilesystem is guessed by reading the block 0) DOSTYPE=0x (force the dostype, useful if we want to change the file system) COMMANDCLASS=10 (don't use it) set command class (6, 10, 12, 16) DELAY=1 (don't use it) set delay between CBW, DATA and CSW TRACE FULLTRACE LOG PRODUCT= can identify a device by its product id VENDOR= can identify a device by the vendor MAXTRANSFER= set the maxtransfer MASK= set the address mask (ANAIIS is not DMA... so this is not very useful) PRI=1 set pri to 1 freeze mouse but increase transfer rate (other values invokes the guru) WAIT=10 wait 10 seconds before start. SCSICMDS force scsi commands instead AmigaDOS commands. WINDOW show anoying window with errors. SPLASHWINDOW window during booting and mounting. SPLASH the same as SPLASHWINDOW. NOEXPANSION use the c:mount command Format a unformatted volume or change the filesystem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Add parathesis on MOUNT property or omit the MOUNT key in the command line. Edit the file ram:usbkey0 Change FileSystem and DosType entries (see "FileSystems" paragraph below) Use the mount command to mount the volume mount device usbkey0: from ram:usbkey0 Then you can format the volume with the quick option format drive usbkey0: name "my usb volume" quick Warning, without the quick option, the format may take some hours or damage the device. Note: units are mumbered as they come from usb enumeration begins with 0, 1... Partition managment ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Refer to HDToolBox (may crash) or HDInstTools (PFS3 package) documentation. FileSystems ~~~~~~~~~~~ FileSystem DosType Notes 0x444f5300 FFS/0 ok (crash on 1.3) FastFileSystem 0x444f5301 FFS/1 ok (work also on 1.3) fat95 0x46415401 FAT/1 ok (work also on 1.3) CrossDOSFileSystem 0x4d534800 MSH/0 (3.0 and upper) CrossDOSFileSystem 0x4d534400 MDH/0 (3.0 and upper, superfloppy) PFS3 0x50465301 PFS/1 ok (2.04 and upper, work also on 1.3, pfs3aio.lha http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/pfs3aio) AmiCDFS 0x43444653 CDFS CDFileSystem 0x43443031 CD01 Tested with: 4MB Olympus, memory card 256MB SanDisk, thumb (green key) 256MB USB BAR (silver key) 2GB Noname, thumb (silver key) 8GB HP v165w (marine blue key) very slow but working 120GB (PFS3) Issues with: 4GB GData, thumb (white key) 4GB Verbatim, thumb (blue key) Tips ~~~~ FAT95 needs to have a PRI=0, and SCSICMDS=TRUE options to work correctly. Prefers PFS3 to FFS for partition size > 1GB. Use HDInstTools instead of HDToolBox for partitioning. Invalidate partitions you won't use. It takes a lot of memory for buffers. Even games are usable with usbscsi.device. The Settlers, Civilization, Indy4 (and the fate of Atlantis) and a lot of harddisk installable games are working fine ! Troubleshootings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verify usbscsi.device access with DumpX tool In the icon, you should get the following entries DEVICENAME=usbscsi.device UNIT=0 TD64=TRUE for 64 bits trackdisk (et oui!!) TD64=FALSE to return to prehistoric. Note about the file ram:usbkey0 It contain all partition entries if the device has been prepared with HDInstTools If not done automaticaly, you should the mount command mount device usbkey0: from ram:usbkey0 To remove the device manually you can use the unmount command (works also with WB1.3) unmount usbkey0: If there are more than one device, mountlist files are numbered usbkey1, usbkey2 and so on Known bugs ~~~~~~~~~~ - Workbench (< 3.1.4) can't copy huge files. - Disk size are wrong, the only good info is the number of blocks (not my fault) - problems during thumb formatting or writing (set DELAY to 2... don't know why) - Some disks must have a maxtransfer=4096 - Use PFS3 for 1.3 instead for 3.1... (i.e. pfsaio) - OFS and FFS doesn't know action_die (but Massive is able to kill them) Enjoy file copy and partitioning fun between true life and Amiga World!
