NH>It seems the name of the sockets ROM 0 or ROM 1 are wrong but the
socket numbers are correct. You might want to check this.
The old ROMs were in (what could be called) reverse order and that is the
way the instructions said to put in the new ROMs which I did. I read
somewhere else where putting them in in logical order (i.e., ROM 0 in U180
and ROM 1 in U181) didn't work at all; no ability to use the install or
anything until the reversal (illogical) of the ROMs.
NH>Seems that having sychronous SCSI set caused this problem.
Don't know what is meant here, either. But as I indicated, my A3K is
almost vanilla. I have a total of 10 Megs of RAM, otherwise, vanilla.
Norman, I didn't get anything diffinitive from anyone, so will have to
wait to see how you come out.
One thing I did forget was holding down both left and right mouse buttons
at bootup to get the machine to do a 'heads up' with a selection screen.
Don't know if that is a consideration with 3.1 as it was with the software
KS in 2.04.
Geesse, I wish someone would give me some good words here. Later.
