Hi, I've got a problem with my CSA Mega Midget Racer. About 2 1/2 years ago I purchased the DRAM daughterboard, populated with 4Megs (which was all I could afford at the time). Recently I bought ZIP RAM chips for another 4Megs. I soldered them in correctly (I believe) but my system won't recognize them. I still get only 4 Megs of 32bit RAM. The manual tells of a few jumpers to be set for Chip size, access speed and the like, only I have the daughterboard for the A2000 which doesn't have ANY jumpers! In the addendum to chapter 8 of the manual this is confirmed but it deosn't say whether the board auto-configures to the amount of RAM installed. Does anyone have an idea as to what I should do about this? I've come to a point where I really need this extra 32bit memory. Thanks, // Christian "ELP" Busse \X/ near Frankfurt, Germany

Aren't those jumpers located on the main board? -Richard

Richard, no, there ARE jumpers located on the main CPU board but they have got nothing to do with the DRAM daughterboard of which two versions exist – one for the A500 WITH jumpers to configure the board and one for the A2000 WITHOUT any jumpers.
