David,
Exactly what problems are you having? Have you gotten to the point
where the board seems to boot up? Is it just dead, etc.?
I have a C= 386 bridgeboard (BB). If you are having some kind of
generic problems of IBM clones, then any of us with BB's or emulator cards
might be able to help. Also, if you are having a problem specific to the
Vortex then someone having that board can help you compare settings.
My system is also an A2000HD. It has a GVP G-Force 030 (25MHZ) in it.
Now have you pulled jumper J12 on your GVP accelerator to map onboard
memory as extended? On my system pulling J12 open is necessary to avoid
memory conflict. If Vortex uses the same memory area as the BB, then you
need to pull J12 open, too!
Sincerely,
(Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless
