Tim, I can't figure out what is wrong with my system when using AMAXII! I
keep getting the programmer's debug window popping up in my face, when I
boot the AMAX software just before I see the MAC screen I see a completely
GREEN screen. I'm using the GVP '030 board with 4MB of 32 bit ram, an ASDG
board jumpered to be a 4MB 16 bit ram board, and I've got the GVP Series 1
SCSI controller card. I'm also using the KRONOS card to autoboot my PRIAM
108 mb ST-506 drive, the Conners CP3100 3.5 internal drive and my Syquest
cartridge drive is connected to the GVP board. When I run Adobe Illustrator
3.0 it eventually dies, the pointer turns into some squarish looking trash
and the menus all ghost over and won't drop open. The programmer's window
is a real pain in the back side. It must pop open about a dozen times prior
to Illustrator 3.0 dying. I haven't been able to get the Syquest to work
with AMAX yet, and I need to get the conners connected to the GVP
controller so I can autoboot from it. But even not using the hard drive, I
can't get away from that green screen, the programmer's window opening all
the time, or the software crashes. Now the green screen means memory
problems, but is it the GVP memory, the 16 bit memory, the 33mhz speed, or
what? Probably what huh? It is always the 'what' that plagues me th most.
