Hi all, and my apologies to those of you who will see this question both on cs.amiga.hardware and i-amiga. I have a Rev 4.2 2000 with a 2630 with 4M of ram. Right now I'm running without a hard disk (a long story which is of no concern except that it can't be the problem) and two internal floppies. I haven't gotten a 1M Agnes either. Anyway I was in the midst of play Lords of the Rising Sun when suddenly the normally lightening screen updates (aren't ram disks wonderful?) started slowing down, as did response to mouse movements. finally the machine would no longer respond but I had a full screen of graphics left on the screen. I tried Ctrl L-Amiga R-Amiga and nothing happened. So I power cycled. I got this sequence that time and on all tests since" short pause 3 quick blinks of the power LED (normal speed with the 2630 installed) Dark grey screen Light grey screen nothing. Still nothing. Very annoyingly still nothing. Now as near as I can tell this means that the system software isn't loaded correctly or something like that. What do I do? My system is so far out of warranty that I want to try something before I just have my dealer swap the whole mother board out. I was hoping to wait for a 3000T with unix before I upgraded so any help will be appreciated. Charlie -- Charlie Fineberg Biochemistry Dept., Wash. U.
