Steve,
I could use some help getting these new drives to work. They are in an
external case with its own power supply. Unfortunately, I keep getting a
controller failure. The controller is EMC's multi-function card. I
closed position 1 on JP4 to enable the IDE controller. (BTW, I removed
one of the jumpers on the IDE drives to make one of them the slave.) I
had to get another ribbon cable since the one sent was too short. The red
strip should be correctly positioned by pin 1. The 386 BB has 8 Meg.
The Amiga 2000HD has a GVP G-Force 030 (25MHZ w MMU). Three banks are
filled but mapped as extended to avoid BB conflict. There is a A2232
multi-serial card. and a GVP ram card with 4 Meg of 16-bit memory. The
A2091 controller is maxed out with 16-bit memory. (If the G-Force weren't
active, there would be a total of 7 Meg. The system still uses only 1 Meg
for chip.) So 9 Meg is 32-bit.
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely,
(Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless
