AdRam 540/ATOnce problem
1 messages in this thread
I have recently added an ICD AdRam 540 board to my A500 (revision 6A on
the board), and am pleased with the results. However, I have also attempted to
add the Vortex ATOnce+ 80286 processor board to the 68000 socket and have
encountered several extremely upsetting and annoying problems. Upon setup and
configuration of the board (16 color CGA display adaptor mode) the screen began
to flicker and flash at non- regular intervals. This persisted through several
reboots, whereupon I shut the machine down, thinking to flush all memory and
registers. I could not get the machine to start up from a cold boot unless I
first turned the machine on, then immediately turned it off and on again.
However, the random flickering persisted, getting worse with time. This problem
persisted after an 8 hour shutdown. I have since removed the ATOnce, and have
not had enough time to truly test it, but it seems to have solved the problem.
The machine has the 1 meg (8372) Agnus, and I have performed the jumper wire
modification, but I don't see how this could be any problem. I also use the
570 CDTV adaptor, but running the system with it unplugged doesn't seem to help
or hinder the system as far as the flashing/flickering is concerned. Any help
or information as to what the problem could be, and possible solutions for this
would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
