#REV.A 1000 PROBLEMS
2 messages in this thread
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON AN INCOMPATABILITY PROBLEMS BETWEEN AN
A1000 REV .A COMPUTER AND THE SIDECAR. A FRIEND OF MINE JUST BOUGHT A NEW
SIDECAR AND FOUND THAT WHEN INTERFACED TO HIS COMPUTER THE A1000 WILL
INTERMITTENTLY RESET ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE KICKSTART PROMPT. WE HAVE TESTED
HIS SIDECAR WITH MY A1000 AND IT WOORKS FINE. HIS A1000 ALSO FAILS WITH MY
SIDECAR. WHAT IS STRANGE IS THAT HIS A1000 SEEMS TO FUNCTION FINE BY ITSELF.
IF ANYONE HAS ANY INO PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE.
THANKS
PERCY
Percy,
Is this a US SideCar or a Canadian SideCar? Some of the very early
SideCars (sold only in Canada) had some of the typical expansion port
problems. The fix is to either replace the PALs on the daughterboard, or add
grounds to them. I'd suggest you have a dealer do the repairs. Try
grounding the PALs first, and if that doesn't work, then replacement is the
next step.
The grounding helps with either the US or the Canadian versions of
SideCar.
Whoops…also, does your friend have any other expansion devices on
his A1000?
