You may have given me a clue to a problem I'm having. What exactly was the
problem with the 256Kx4 DRAMs that they fixed with Rev 6.2, and would that
problem have existed under 4.4, given the board redesign for the 1M chips?
I ask because I am having difficulties getting a Hurricane 2800 board with
4 megs of 256Kx4 DRAMs to work under Workbench 1.3.2 with a Rev 4.4 board
that has the Super Agnus upgrade. The exact same board and boot disks work
fine on a (according to Imtronics, and a look at the board label seems to
verify) Rev 6.2 MB with Super Agnus. Also, that same board works on the
4.4 MB under 1.3 (that's what I'm running as I type). We've been trying to
track this problem down for a couple of weeks. The system dies if I run the
memory config program under 1.3.2, but not under 1.3. If you (or anyone
else) knows what the problem was, perhaps a solution might be found that
doesn't require a MB swap, which initial research tells me can be more
expensive than I can handle right now. Thanks …
