I have the CMI processor accelerator and have found a small problem. When I do
a power-on, the system freezes in mid-execution of the startup-sequence (after
already transferred control to my hard disk). Any subsequent reboots via the
CTL-A-A keypress works just fine. My config is B2000, 3Meg, ST251-0 40 meg
drive, DOS 1.2 with ARP.
Floppy startup-sequence:
SYS:System/FastMemFirst
Binddrivers
echo "Transferring control to DH0:..."
cd DH0:
execute s/hd-startup
Contents of s/hd-startup on DH0:
Defdisk DH0:
wait 5
pa -f <-- here's where I go to 14Mhz speed
wait 5
ASSIGN T: RAM:
[ etc. ] other assigns, start of GOMF,DMouse, VirusX, etc.
I'm mystified on this one. Anybody got answers??

If you bought your A2000 in the US, it's a 99% or better possibility that it's a B2000. It is the US designed one, and the 'B' is an internal Commodore designation that differentiates it from the German designed A2000. I hope CBM warns us in advance if they ever have something Amiga designed in Germany again. :-) -larry -- "Intelligent CPU?

Can you pin down the point in which it hangs up a little more exactly?
ie. Put echo statements into the Startup-Sequence to find out exactly where it
stops. It could be a disk validation type problem, or possibly the PA having
trouble locking into sync when toggled. If it were the PA, you would probably
see similar things fairly often when toggling, not just during the first power
up. I'm assuming you have the A-2090 or A-2090a controller card for your HD...
