[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] HELP! Bill's Boards

jackf@pnet01.cts.com (Jack Fitchett) (04/05/91)

    Just got a great deal on a bills boards exspansion chassis but I'm
having trouble getting it to work with An ICD SCSI + 2meg in it.  If
I let it autoconfig **GURU**.  If I inhibit it and try and access the 
SCSI afterboot **GURU**.  Seems to be at randon times and random GURU 
nubers but always on first attemtp to talk to the card.  Could be the Bill's
Boards as I have no other A2000 cards to try out on it.  Any one been 
there before???

The Problem is probley timming...One of the biggest faults with the BILL
Board was the fact that they had a pass-through system and this screwed the 
timming ..  I have a MonAMI Jr. a three slot terminated adaptor on my A500
and in it I have a HardFrame and an 8-UP with 2-megs... I have NO problems
withn this combination...
