1.4 – 2.0 Troubles
If your using a 2.05 ROM in a A500, that is most likely the problem. I've
upgraded 2 A500's in the last month for customers and I tried a 2.05 ROM..no
go, unexplained crashes including Final Writer. I replaced the 2.05 with a 2.04
and no crashes. Both machines had ver. 5 motherboards If your machine is an
older revision, then you can bet the problem is the 2.05 ROM, no question. I
won't use 2.05 ROM's in A500's because of this. 2.05's do work just fine in
A2000's The only other thing to check is to see if all your RAM chips are
seated properly. This can cause programs like Final Writer, which use a lot of
RAM, to crash.
I hope this helps…
