My recent purchase of Bill's Boards, the continuing saga.....
Well, now I've got the BB's and a GVP Series-II SCSI +8 with 2meg
populated. I added the new PALS in hopes of reducing noise problems.
I Grounded them heavilly. The unit would see the ram but get errors
reading the hard disk to the point that you couldn't mount it. I
tried a friends A1000 and it worked a lot better. It would let me
format and partition the drive but I still get errors on Reading/Writing
that make it unusable.
????? 1. Is there any thing else I should try with the A1000.
Someone mentioned putting a 68010 in because they
have better bus characteristics.
2. If I were to buy a used 500 would I be facing the same
problems? (Is the expansion as bad on the 500?).
3. Is my only recourse to scrap the whole thing and get
an A2000???
