Metal chips? Metal chips? 😎 Hey, I literally stuck the tip of a
large Electrolux Tank vacuum to that pad when I was done. That sucker
could have been used to remove the Agnus chip. 😎
What I found is that my SetCpu program is at "fault". If I downgrade it
to DATA NOCACHE, my computer is fine. Only the Ronin test program says I
am down to 7.83 * A1000 whereas otherwise, it was at 10.96 * it.
The MaxTransfer didn't help. I had pulled one partition down to 512!
and still got the read/write errors.
My other controller in the computer is an ICD Advantage 2000. It drives
an external Syquest. I can autoboot off the Syquest with no sweat. It is
fine. But all I need to do to get "errors" is to read from the Rodime.
I will call GVP, now that you mention it. They are only a few miles
from where I live. (See…you should have stayed in Haverford. <grin> )
I'll ask you what I just asked ICD-Craig: Are you aware of any software
that will do a full performance check on the Fat Agnus? There is still a
chance it is doing me in. Like someone else who exchanged his, I tried
GoPal on it and got a munged screen. I didn't try it, though, with the
A3001 switched out. (The 3001 doesn't have autoboot EPROMS either),
