[comp.sys.amiga.introduction] A500 cold boots and PRT: problems.

markg@amix.commodore.com (Mark Gardner) (03/25/91)

Lately I've been having problems with my Amiga 500 doing a cold reboot on
me.  In concordance with Murphy's Law, this always seems to happen when  
de-archiving, doing long transfers, or saving documents in my word       
processor.  My setup is: A500, A501 memory/clock box, A1080 monitor,     
SupraModem 2400, ECE MIDI box, California Access CA-880 external drive,  
Star NX-1000 printer.  I'm thinking it's something wrong with the power  
supply brick (an original, not a replacement), but I'm no hardware guru.
 
On another tack, I can't seem to send anything to PRT:.  The shell keeps 
telling me "object in use".  I'm running MachII, GOMF2.2, Workbench, 
ConMan 1.3, ARP 1.3, MyMenu, and Snap 1.4.  Quelle est la deal?
 
Thanks.  I'm a little new to Usenet, so if I screwed up the message 
header or anything, I'm sorry.
