Help Wanted!!! MY GVP Series II HC +8 card with 4 meg of RAM and 40 meg Quantum refuses to autoboot or be accessed in anyway. However the RAM on the card autoconfigs OK and is recognised by the system AUTOBOOT JUMPER ON: Upon bootup drive is accessed for say three seconds then Software Failure Task Held requestor appears. Of course GURU appears on clicking appropriate box. AUTOBOOT JUMPER ON AND DISK IN DF0: Hard drive accessed briefly df0: accessed harddrive accessed briefly then software failure etc... AUTOBOOT JUMPER OFF. System disk boots OK from df0: but binddrivers command when issued causes Software Failure (drive is accessed briefly) Faaaastprep does not recognise drive or board At present board is doing duty as memory board. I suspect the autoboot eprom (V3.07) I have had the board 6 months and it has acted flawlesly until now. I am going to send it to local distributor by wondered if anyone had any ideas Keith
