Hate that kind of situation...
Everything works smoothly and then suddenly you encounter issues you never had before.
Hope for you it's just the Blue SCSI image.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
Now wondering if the BlueSCSI SD card is bad as its 32GB with 2GB of data on it, yet it's not got enough space free to copy another disk image to it.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
Seems fine after re-imaging it, but very strange nonetheless.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
Yay !
I managed to connect the Archie A3000 to my network drive via FTP:
Now I can easily transfer my games without using my Raspberry Pi.
FTPc is pretty fast, easy to use and does all I was expecting from it.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
Yay!
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: Archie A3000 inbound
!FTPc, version 1.54.
I now have an issue with the Archie, but I guess its due to the Ultra VIDC...
Once the machine booted, screen randomly goes black but most of the time, when booting, it displays 3 or 4 different colours and then doesn't go further.
Have to remove the Ultra VIDC and check.
