#A2630 crashing????!!???
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.
