Hi All, I'm having trouble getting my A500 w/ supradrive controller and Quantum 40-S to autoboot. I also have the A501 memory expansion in it I have installed the 1.3 ROM myself and that seemed to go well. (ie, I get the hand and disk picture that says 1.3) When the Autoboot chip is in the controller, all I get is a grey screen and no drive access. (neither hard nor floppy disk) I took the drive into the store where I bought it (memory location in Wellseley, MA) and they hooked it up to one of their A500's. They told me that I had zeroed my harddrive. I know that I didn't because I had used it that morning and there was data on it when I hooked it back up to my computer. They also told me that it autobooted fine with their A500, thus the bootchip is OK. It seems to be a problem with the computer, but I'm not really sure what. Do I have a screwed up 1.3 ROM? What can I do? Help, please! Thanks In advance....
