      Toaster 3.0 Install Fails at Disk 30 on 4000/4000T

Product: Toaster 4000 Rev 3.x

Platforms: 4000 4000T

Problem: When installing the 3.0 System 4000 Toaster Software, the install consistently fails at Disk 30.

1. If the target computer is an Escom Amiga 4000T, those units shipped with a double-density floppy drive instead of a high-density floppy drive. You will need to replace this with a high-density floppy drive in order to do an installation.

2. If the target computer is a QuikPak 4000T, on some production runs the problem is the same as the Escom, the Floppy is a double-density drive. On other runs the floppy drive is high density, but is not fully supported by the Amiga OS, since it is not the same make and model nor is it fully compatible with the high density drives originally shipped with the Amiga 4000 series machines when Commodore manufactured them. In either case, the only way to install is to substitute a high-density floppy drive that is fully compatible.

3. Any 4000 or 4000T with a known compatible high-density floppy drive:

   1. the floppy drive has developed a problem and needs to be repaired or replaced.

   2. Disk 30 is bad. Call NewTek for replacement of the diskette.

Note: If the Amiga system has a CD-ROM drive or the user wishes to add one, then the user can contact NewTek Customer Services to obtain the 3.5 Software on CD-ROM, as an alternative to replacing double-density drives or replacing failed diskettes in the 3.x software set.
