Okay, I am still having trouble:
setup:
A2000
A2620
A2090a
Rodime SCSI HD
AmigaDOS 1.3
Symptoms: I plugged in my brand new A2620. Life went downhill.
Disk crashing (errors upon validation, Read/Write errors). I
seriously doubt the disk is at fault (for a number of reasons) . The
boot partition (non FFS) mounts and has not yet given me trouble. As
soon as I mount another partition, the world goes to hell. Lots of
gurus. No, I didn't write the number down - I will, though.
I have also noticed the parallel port *may* not be working.
No floppy trouble.
Query: Is it possible I trashed the chip which drive the parallel port? I
don't have schematics at work, but it just occured to me - does the
same chip control disk i/o?
The 2620 is brand new - are there any validation programs available?
