Well after finally geting my BridgeBoard & GVP hardcard working together
I thought I'd get my A1000 periphrials working on B2000. I did this by getting
a connector and extending the "internal serial port" (The jumpers right next
to the serial port.) Well something went wrong, and I'm not sure what caused it
but if I used binddrivers and my GVP series II controller was in any other slot
but the one nearest the power supply, the hard-drive light would go on and the
machine would freeze. When the GVP was placed in the first slot I was able to
access the hard-drive for a little bit, but after a random interval (or if I
attemped to boot my A2088 (The only other card in my machine)) of disk usage
the machine would freeze, and the hard-drive light would stay lit (just like
the previous case).
Now that now longer works, because I get a green screen on boot-up (Bad Chip
Mem). I'm prety sure these things have got to be related. I switched the 8520's
from my A1000 into the B2000 but that didn't cure it. Does anyone have an idea
as to what chip was fried?
Thanks again for all your help!
