Hello, i need some help from the hard ware people out there in netland. I just bought a Data Flyer 500 from Expansion Systems. Anyway the thing works about normal when run from my A500 useing 1.3. But it dies under n A500 with 1.2 roms. It not only just doesn't work it guru's the machine on boot up. I have tried everything that I can think of but cannot get it to work. Any Ideas or hints or anything!!!! Would be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance, Joshua SLMT9@cc.usu.edu

I Chances are, you haven't informed the hard drive that you're using it on an Amiga with Kickstart 1.2. If the harddrive thinks you got 1.3 ROMs it's going to try to autoboot, which can't be done under 1.2. Check your documentation. You probably just need to set a jumper. > Thanks in advance, > Joshua > SLMT9@cc.usu.edu > Steve Sheldon /// | Do not write in this space taak9@ccvax.iastate.edu /// | Senior, Computer Science \XX/ | For Office Use Only
