#GrandSlam won't reboot
4 messages in this thread
I've got a problem. I just bought an IVS Grand Slam card for my 2000 and
I can't get it to reboot. It'll boot just fine cold but won't warm boot. If
I have a disk in DF0: it will boot off that but then seems to forget my
hard drives are connected. Oh yea, if I don't have a disk in the drive I
don't even get the animated requester telling me to put in a disk.
I also have a Mega Midget Racer with 2 megs 32 bit mem. and 2.04. The
drive I'm using are a 40 meg. Quantum and a 80 meg. Segate.
Anybody have any Ideas?
Thanks. Darren Ramey.

I have a Trumpcard Pro, which is supposedly the same controler as the Grand
Slam minus the non-controler features on the Grand Slam. As an anti-virus
feature, if you boot from a floppy the hard drive(s) are not available,
allowing you to check the floppy for a virus with no risk of infecting the
hard drive(s). If you want to boot from a floppy and have the hard
drive(s) available, hold the left mouse button on startup until the floppy
drive light comes on.
Darren,
I too have the IVS GrandSlam. If you have a boot floppy in df0:, the
system is supposed to boot from the floppy and NOT mount your hard drive
partitions. It's in the manual under the Game Switch section. If you want
to boot from a floppy but still have your HD available, then hold down the
left mouse button while you reboot until the floppy drive light comes on,
then release the button. The system will boot from the floppy, but your HD
will be available.

I Know about the game switch but when I press the left mouse button it wont
boot from the floppy. Oh well, time to call IVS again.
