#ATOP problems
I just installed the ATOP multi-function card in my A3000 and have a
problem with it. Namely, the fakec partition wont boot anymore. I dont
yep have an IDE hard drive, and have just the one 1.44 meg floppy drive, so
I configured the boards jumper settings as was shown for No hard drive and
no floppy drive support. I inserted the card and booted my the system.
The ram test went fine and a nice clear VGA display came up on my 1950
(just like I had gotten with my old VGA only card) it then gave me all the
janus system messages as always after then ram test, but when it went to
book from the hard drive (a virtual drive fakec) it just hung there. The
system went no farther I tried re-setting the bios set-up but found
everything to be as it should ie: no hard drive 1 1.4 meg floppy speical
for video etc.
Going back to the amiga side, I made sure the both color and mono displays
were turned off and indeed they were/are. I tried re-seeting the card, no
luch. I trired setting the jumpers to turn off various areas of the card,
namely the paraell and serial and bus mouse etc. All of this made no
difference. I then removed the card and booted without any card and fakec
came right up as normal. I then checked to make sure all the settings that
ATOP set for jumpers did not interfear with any of the areas that are
talked about in the BB manual ie: no using IRQ 3 and a couple of Ram
locations and indeed found that it did use one of them, so I switced that
jumper, but once again it would not boot the fakec.
I just recived the board yesterday and will call ATOP in the morning, but I
was wondering if any of you out there have this card, and have gotten it to
work with a vitrual drive?
any input would be most welcomed.
