#EGS Spectrum problem
4 messages in this thread
I have recently purchased an EGS Spectrum card which I am using in an Amiga
3000 (25 MHz, with 10 MB of RAM). I am having trouble bringing the card online.
I have version 6.25 of the install software. The system freezes when the line
EGS:C/EGSConfig FILE RAM:EGS.config in the EGS monitor file executes. Has
anyone had a similar problem? The 3000 loads Kickstart from disk and I am using
system 2.1. Many thanks.

I have an A3000 25, 6MB with EGS spectrum card. I got one of the very first
cards about 9 months ago. My machine uses EGS v 6.2 and crashes imediately on
WB 2.1. My solution was creating 2 seperate boot partitions, one for WB 2.0
and EGS the other for 2.1 and no EGS. The real reason I did two boot
partitions is I couldn't have the EGS drivers sucking a Meg of my RAM. So I'm
in the same boat too. I am also thinking of getting WB 3.1 so If anyone has
had trouble of EGS working with it, let me know.

Rob:
Thanks for the information. I guess you select which partition to boot
from by holding both mouse buttons down when you turn on the 3000? I wonder
what 2.1 loads in that the Spectrum card doesn't like. Anyway, thanks again.

Rob: Actually I've had very little problems with the EGS software and the
Spectrum working with 3.1, and it's now up to version 7.1. It worked very
well using the 6.2 version of EGS as well. I'm looking to purchase a
Piccolo SD64 but will have to wait awhile for my checkbook to recover <g>.
