Christian,
Yes, the A500 that I have the ICD controller in would start to boot then
crash and reboot itself just to have it happen again and again. It would not
even boot from a floppy with the 2.04 chip installed. My wife's system
consists of the following:
A500 (bought new from Montgomery Ward in November of 1994, box was covered
with dust and I payed too much for it but hey, it's new!!) 2mb RAM board
from M-Tec Germany 130mb 2.5" internal HD ICD AddIDE 40 hard drive controller
(relocated from my trusty A1000 so I
could get the case closed again, you can only stack soo many
add on items on top of the 68000 socket before they go through
the roof) <G> I have the jumper on the ICD set for the 1.3 O.S. and
don't think changing it to the 1.2 O.S. would be worthwhile. Any suggestions
you have will be appreciated. I'd rather not spend any more money on this
computer but would like to be able to use the 2.1 O.S. Thanks for any help,
P.S. I have re-installed the 1.3 chip and the computer is working fine again.
