Help! I am having a problem with a newly purchased A2630 board. It is GURUing at seemingly random intervals, sometimes even before it gets into the startup-sequence. Many gurus will fail or go wild and then go into another guru. I occasionally get pyrotechnics, and the only fairly consistent part is that the error usually lists an address in the $200000-$230000 range. The type of guru is pretty inconsistent. This ONLY happens when I choose Amiga with 68030 (or let it default to that)….the 68000 works fine. My hardware setup: Amiga 2000, 1 meg chip ram, GVP Impact (Series One) SCSI 8/HD with a Seagate 82meg drive and 4 megs of SIMMS in the HD controller, and the A2630 with 4meg 32 bit ram (factory direct from CBM, ordered through CATS). Now, I know there's a problem. I'd like to isolate the problem as much as possible before I start talking to CBM about it. Hopefully I'll be able to test the board on another 2000 tomorrow, but in the meantime, any hints? I think that address range is where the first autoconfig memory goes, but I can't find my hardware memory map; that would be the A2630's 4meg, right? Sigh…I wanted to have SPEED, and all it's causing is CRASHES. Any help appreciated. tmm/Richard Cunningham tmm/Richard Cunningham Die and go to BBS Hell 🙂
