[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] A2091/A2630 incompatiblity

hupka@insider.zer.sub.org (04/12/91)

  
I've recently run into trouble upon trying the following configuration:


   A2000C Board 6.2
   A2091 Host Adapter with 2MB RAM on Board
   Quantum P80S Drive first on chain
   Seagate ST1096N Drive second on chain
   A2630 Accelerator Board

The machine gurued a few seconds after booting, without any external
cause. Both A2091 and A2630 work properley independet, or together in
other machines (4.x boards)

I would look for another cause, I've been running 2091/2630 for a long time
with no problems at all. Have you got extra memory on the 2091 or 2630?
Perhaps there is a bad chip? Do you have any non-CBM programs running? Is
your power supply up to snuff?

I've heard that the same combination and THE SAME boards correctly run with a different
A2000... The A2091 has 2MB extra memory on board; the system crashes
although it is disavled.

The A2630 has 4MB RAM on board; the system seems to crash with 2 and 4MB. However,
it seemed to run with 32bit-RAM disabled.

Currently I am running the 2630 with a different controller (ALF-3)
and everything is pretty fine. An Advantage 2000 worked correctly, too.

The crash's are absolutely software indipendet; both 1.3 and 2.0 lead
to india. Anyway, I stopped the machine right after booting 1.3 without
*ANY* program being run - CRASH.
