I've had problems. My 2.1 upgrade was fine but my 2630 ROM upgrade was
and is a joke. On 5-4-93 they sent me 2 chips which didn't work(wouldn't
boot up and all I got was a purple screen). Sent them back. 5 weeks later
I get a box but theres only I chip in the box. Sent it back. Waited 5
more weeks and called them. They said they were backordered. Waited until
August and they said they didn't know when they would be getting any.
They had already billed me for the chips. I told them to cancel the order
and credit my VISA. They said "sure no problem". Next VISA bill
no credit. Called again. They said "sure no problem". Next VISA bill
no credit. Last weekend I sent my reciepts, my letters I sent when
I sent the chips back and copies of UPS invoices to my VISA bank.
Maybe they can squeeze blood out of a stone. The chips are $34.95.
Its possible that they figure you will give up after a while because its
not a large amount and you will say "screw it"

David,
Sounds like they want to sell you a new computer. I'm trying to
upgrade my A2000 to 2.04 to match my A3000. I hope I am not going to find
myself in the same boat as you. I also have to upgrade my hard disk
controller. My current hard disk is an aging 2090. I have found a 2090a
(fortunately I have a SCSI hard disk) from the grapevine group that supposedly
has the correct revision ROMs.
Good luck anyway and if I find the ROMS anywhere else I send you note
a 2090a is not worth the time to say it A2091 is slow also, but work about 25$
i have two my self. Go for a third party card or a used card.
I have a GVP Series II HC-8 SCSI Ram controller with 2 meg of 16 bit
ram on it that I will sell to you. It works throught 2.1, anyway,
cause I just took it out of my 2.1 driven A2000 wheni hooked all my
SCSI devices to the '040 accelerator instead of running two
controller cards. It has 4.4 ROMs on it, but GVP has a ready supply
of 4.13 ROMs that you can get if you want them, but so far the only
requirement I know of to upgrade is if you want to run TapeWormFS.
If you are interested, EMail me.
Once…. a while back I orderd a Kwickstart and 1.3 rom for my A1000
from Grapevine Group. I called and they said no problem send a check.
The check was cashed and I got my Kwickstart but no rom, rendering it
useless!!!!! :^( @#$% They said I had about a thirty dollar credit
cause they couldnt get the rom, in a letter.
THAT SUCKS!!!! Grapevine kinda SUCKS!!!!
I always thoght they were kinda cool til I ordered somthing from them.
Never again.
….John
