My A500's equipped with a CSA Derringer '030 accelerator w/ 4MB 32 bit RAM and a DataFlyer Express IDE/SCSI and 2MB Fast RAM in two 1MB SIMMs. Everything works together pretty well, except for the fact that the DataFlyer RAM isn't being configured properly when I boot up using the '030. When I boot up using the '030, only 1MB of DataFlyer RAM shows up, with an identifier of "Baseboard". When I boot up in 68000 mode, 2MB show up with an identifier of "Express". This happens whether or not I have the 32 bit RAM installed (via the resident handler) on boot-up. The only thing that makes any difference is whether or not I'm running with the '030 or not. Any ideas on what's happening? Is the problem with the Derringer or the DataFlyer? Has anyone else heard of this kind of problem? // \X/ Amiga -Steve ——> On AutoPilot from Silicon Valley

I got a different setup that work well . Derringer 4 meg with dataflyer express no mem and a Baseboard The baseboard has 4 meg and b pal and I got the jumper on the Dataflyer to config with the Baseboard and this works fine . I will try your setup sometime . No problem for me so far .

What I can't figure is why the DataFlyer ram shows up as BASEBOARD. I've never had a BASEBOARD *near* my Amiga. Maybe I'll just give Expansion Systems a call; they're local to me here. // \X/ Amiga -Steve ——> On AutoPilot from Silicon Valley
