#Chip Memory
2 messages in this thread
I have purchased Professional Page 2.0. Additionally I have bought and
installed myself a 8273A angus chip. I have a Amiga 2000, w/ a 2058 ram
board populated w/ 2megs., a 40 meg harddrive, and a xt board. The problem
I have is when I ran Professional Page, a requester window mentioned low
memory. After running two different system utilities, I,ve discovered that
my chip memory is still .5 megs. Is there a Jumper or some other config.
procedure I might have missed? Also need advice on the interlace issue when
I run PPage. Anyone who could enlighten me would be apprceiated.
Culver,
Yes, there's a jumper that has to be cut. It's a trace on the
motherboard located near the Agnus socket that looks like a split solder
pad. You have to cut the thin trace between them.
I HIGHLY recommend that you ask the dealer as to where it's located, as
cutting traces is not something you should do lightly.
Being handy with a soldering iron, I split them, then soldered two
'whiskers' to them, insulating the whiskers afterwards with a dummy jumper
block. That enables me to slip the 'old' Agnus back in and reconnect the
trace if need be using a 'real' jumper block.
Hope this helps,
Doug
