[comp.sys.atari.st] MEGA problems

VDKOOIJ@HDETUD5.BITNET (08/29/88)

Hello,

we have mega-problems using the cartridge port on our MEGA ST2 and we think
it is a common problem for all MEGA's with a boardrevision higher than revision
4. We use the cartridge/ROM-port to read data from an ADC to digitize
satellite WEFAX-pictures from METEOSAT. The soft- and hardware works fine on a
MEGA ST2 with a revision-4 board or a 1040STf, but it crashes (with 4 bombs)
on any MEGA ST2 with a revision-5 board.

Our dealer (ECD delft) and ATARI Benelux (Netherlands) couldn't help us (yet?),
so we would like to ask if there is somebody on this net with enough inside
knowledge to help us.

                                        Aad & Jos

Hi,

Last week I finally traded in my old machine and bought a brand new MEGA 2.
Now for the bad part: it resets  on its self now and then (and continues to
do this until power is off), windows are destroyed, parts of windows use
to stay on the same place, although the window itself is moved and programs
tend to bomb (or windows within programs are destroyed).

Has anyone experienced this problems too?
