A while back I purchased an IVS Trumpcard box/controller and drive for my
500. While I am quite satisfied with it, I had to stop using LUCAS, because
of strange behaviour with the hard drive, i.e., program loads, but doesn't run,
random lockups, etc. I have a new power supply (100W) ordered, which should
arrive soon, but assuming the power supply was not at fault, does anyone
have and ideas/experience as to what might be the problem? I noted a few
messages a while back from others who had similar problems with 68020/030
and hard drive combinations. Also, anybody know if my controller is DMA or
not?
On a related topic, my Baseboard RAM expansion seems not to want to autoconfig
with LUCAS, consistently guru-ing at addresses around $C00000. Could it be
that the Baseboard is a slow-fast RAM setup have anything to do with it?
Any comments, etc. to these questions would be greatly appreciated.
