Hi- I need help installing an Emplant board. I have an A4000 with 25mHz processor. I have installed the board properly, have installed the ROM chips in the correct orientation chips in the correct orientation and offsetthe position of the ROMs as described in the hardware manual. I installed the software on hard disk using the "intermediate-user" setting. My problem: the ROM images won't dum't dump. When I run the diagnostic, all of the labeled chips read "BAD" except the except the chip just to the rear of the JP6 jumper. Any suggestions? D D D D D exit

Try turning off Mode Promotion. I remember hearing that the diagnostic program _needs_ to run in a 15KHz NTSC screen. Dunno what to say about getting the ROM dumps, as I just dumped mine straight from my Mac. Good Luck! Erik Flom

The diagnostic program will not run properly if the ROM's are installed on the board. Remove the rom's, turn off mode promotion, and then try running the diagnostic again. If it still shows some bad chips, then its time to give Utilities Unlimited a call. Also it takes a very specific type and version of the ROM's before you can dump them to disk. Be sure you have the correct type of ROM's for the Emplant. Also be sure the jumpers are set properly for the type of ROM you are using. // John (Warp 4040 & Emplant Quadra 840) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net

The diagnostic will fail while the ROMs are installed. The ROM image is dumped to your ram disk. After running the ROM image program, look in your RAM: disk for a file called ROMIMAGE. Also make sure that you are running all Emplant screens in standard (non mode promoted) displays. -Jonathan // Amiga online via Autopilot. MAC Quadra 900 and \X/ 486 emulation.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS SEND THE ROMS TO UTILITIES UNLIMITED AND THEY WILL DUMP THEM FOR YOU.THATS WHAT I HAD TO DO.IF YOUR USING 4.9 THEN YOU CAN USE MAC 7.5 SYSTEM WHICH HAS FASTER PERFORMANCE. // Gary B. Flying High From Oxnard,California \\// On AutoPilot 1.74..With my 4000 and Emplanted MAC
