Hi there. I have a microbotics hardframe controller for my SeaGate ST-277N harddrive. I want to get the fat agnus upgrade since I keep running out of chip ram. I am told that the hardframe does not like the Fat Agnus chip. Can anyone tell me any information on the subject and if there are any fellow sufferers out there? In addition, has anyone tried the 2630 with the hardframe? Craig Limber climber@sol.UVic.CA

Mine get along just fine. My drive is a Q80S, though, but that
shouldn't make any difference.

Me too!! :-)akcs.clemon@wcbcs (Craig Lemon) (03/22/90)

I haven't had any problems yet and I believe that I've seen Hardframes running on new 2000s. This would imply that there isn't a problem with the new Agnus. I cannot be certain however. PLease e-mail any replies to me as well.

[...] >Craig Limber climber@sol.UVic.CA I have a Rev 4.2 A2000 with the 1 MB Fat Agnus, Micron 2 MB memory board, 1.3 ROMs, and a Microbotics Hardframe for my Rodime RX1500 SCSI harddisk. Runs great, absolutely no problems, except that I have to set Maxtransfer to 65536 (64K). A Maxtransfer value of 128K caused R/W errors to consistantly appear when I ran DiskPerf. I haven't the faintest idea why. DiskPerf still gives me 600 K/sec R/Ws though, and I have not experienced a single R/W error (besides the initial ones) since installation in November. --John Lee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Raining CATS and DOGS?

I currently do all my development on an old A2000 (small function key) machine. A 4.2 motherboard (which I've brought up to 4.5 myself), an A2630, Obese Agnus, HardFrame with two different drives (currently running ST138N and a Conner CP340), an old 2052 card (yup, disgusting, ain't it), an 8-Up DIP board, and an ASDG Dual Serial Board. No problems. Oh, and we tested the HardFrame with the 2630 before the 2630 ever hit the streets. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- / "Growing old ain't for sissies!" - Bette Davis | [- O] Rick Stevens / / ..uunet!zardoz!tmiuv0!rick | ? / < ..uunet!zardoz!xyclone![sysop|root|rps2] | V (Consulting < \ ..uunet!perigrine!ccicpg!conexch!amoeba2!rps2 | for MicroBotics) \ \ 75006.1355@compuserve.com +---------------------\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------
