Greg,
Hey, I just bought Denny Atkins' Rejuvenated Amiga 1000, But I am having
some problems with it. Hopefully you might be able to offer some insight
and answers as to what might be causing the problems and how to corrent
them.
First, when I received his computer I plugged it in with no peripherals
attached (except the monitor of course.) The screen went white, 2 shades of
grey, then the Guru visited…Oh…I had a workbench in the drive too.
Second, I took the workbench out and did a warm reboot. Nothing…the
screen just stayed white.
Third, I shut the machine off for 10 seconds and turned it back on with
no disk in the drive. The screen went white, then 2 shades of grey and
then it asked for a workbench. I shut the machine off to see if it would do
it again, but it did not. Instead it just kept cycling, white, grey, grey,
about five seconds, white, grey, grey….. It does not ask for workbench.
The machines works fine if I switch the switch and insert a Kickstart on
disk, but it won't boot up properly with the ROM.
My wife, on a whim, decided to try it herself after a few hours. She
turned it on and it actually asked for a workbench. She inserted the
workbench into the drive but the machine never accessed the drive. It just
hung.
This whole thing is real weird because Denny tested it with a 2.0 ROM and
it worked, and he booted it up with the 1.3 ROM right before he shipped it
to me. When I got it, now it doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using it right now with the
disk-based kickstart, but I need to have it with the ROM working,
especially when 2.0 comes out.
Thank you for any reply.
