Arrgh! I just added a 4th 4mb sim to my Gforce 040 board. Amiga A2000HD motherboard VERSION 4.5 Now when I use GVPCPUCTRL FASTROM the screen goes solid RED and the thing seems to go into an endless loop untill I <ctrl><Alt><Alt> and I get a "software failure" message with Error: 8000 000B Task:01084CC8…… Now what, DAMMIT?????

Luke (Pat), Is your startup-sequence for this: ;BEGIN 68040_FastROM cpu nocache noburst nocopyback ; suggested by Mike GVP 5/10/93 SYS:Utilities/GVPCpuCtrl MoveSSP FASTROM cpu cache burst copyback ; suggested by Mike GVP 5/10/93 ;END 68040_FastROM Arp040fix ; patch to handle arplib/'040 compatibility That fixed it for me. ('course their manual didn't warn that this was required. Fortuneatly for me it happened back when they still talked to you on the phone – I never would have guessed this one in a million years.) The Arp040fix I found out about later and reduced some crashing after boot. wmc – via Autopilot!

Insert the following command line BEFORE the 'gvpcpuctrl fastrom' line in S:User-Startup… cpu nocache Then add this line AFTER the 'gvpcpuctrl fastrom' line in S:User-Startup… cpu cache Also, the GvpCpuCtrl line should look like this: GvpCpuCtrl fastrom movessp If you still have problems, please let us know.
