I'm having a problem that is just as weird as his problem. I installed the
2.04 ROM and an A2091 hardcard w/ Quantum 52 meg drive. It worked
beautifully under 1.3 and 2.0. Next, I installed 2 megs of RAM into the
card. Now, the computer crashes when I try to boot up
under 2.0. The memory configures and works fine under 1.3, as long as I
take out the FastMemFirst line in the startup sequence. I've tested the
RAM, and the chips are fine. I took the whole setup to an Amiga dealer, and
he said the card was bad. So, I sent the card back to the place where I
bought it and they said the card was fine. They even sent me a new card to
try. The same problem occurs with the new card. What gives? I've had
expansion bus problems before that were supposedly fixed by the dealer, but
now I'm not so sure. If it helps any, I have a revision 4.1 motherboard.
If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears. The more technical the
explanation, the better. Thanks in advance,
Brad P.S. I would appreciate a reply via
E-mail.
