[comp.sys.amiga.tech] More Palomax Woes

gt4662b@prism.gatech.EDU (BRANHAM,JOSEPH FRANKLIN) (08/16/90)

It also seems that the Palomax interface doesn't like my Alegra memory
expansion for my 1000 (or vice versa). 

The 1000 comes up, loads kickstart, and warm resets itself endlessly.

Has anyone had a similar problem when using the pass-through of the PAlomax
or with using an Alegra board with other peripherals?

Sigh.

The problem you are running into is primarily the A1000 bus.
Constructivly I can tell you I got the MAX interface working with
LUCAS and Kwikstart simultaneously.

I used FACT (ACT) chips for the parts that interface with the A1000 bus.
These parts are fast and low power.

Also make sure you have a 10k pullup resistor tied to the reset line
(I believe the reset line is 53 but don't blame me if I am wrong.)

Call PALOMAX.  Mr. Koehler gives EXCELLENT customer support.
