I just installed my A2620 board and I can not go into 68000 mode, the machine just hangs with the orange screen from the selection menu. History. my system has a : 4.2 mother board ( could this be a problem??) IVS trumpcard and an ST277N (SCSI) MaxHackers HD controller (MFM non-DMA) 2058 memory board with 4meg on board This setup does seem to work in 68020 mode, but again it hangs when I try to get into the 68000 mode of operation. Help Help.... I don't want to replace the mother board ( ouch). But a local shop has said it may very well be the rev of the mother board that is causing this problem... ALSO: Are there any good benchmark type programs to check the speed of the system Any help , comments, and programs are greatly appreciated. gregg@hechcx.HARRIS.COM or gregg@hrshcx.HARRIS.COM Phone: (305)749-1482 H 977-5604 W

It could be that the revision of the motherboard. I just ran into many problems trying to get the A2630 to work in my 4.1 motherboard. Commodore replied that the board will not function in a revision less than 4.5 and that I needed to get a 4.5 upgrade. They also said that the dealer that sold me the card should do it for only the cost of labor. This may only apply to the new 2630 since it runs at a higher clock speed. Hopefully this is of some help. Brian Yamanaka University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign bty00298@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu Only one semester left!!! Happy Holidays!
