I had the exact same problem on my A500.  I had been hacking around the
insides (wiring up a KB talker designed for the 2000), and, out of force of
habit, I pushed down on most of the chips to make sure they were
seated (500s have a history of loose Agnus chips).  Sure enough,
of the next few days, the same problem you're having started to appear.

Turns out I pushed too hard (believe it or not) on the Agnus chip...
apparently enough to cause intermittent contact.  I pulled UP
on the chip (and it actually shifted in the socket, but not OUT of
the socket) and the problem hasn't reocurred in the 6 months since.
Hope yours turns out to be this simple!

Wait a sec!  I missed the original post describing the Tandberg problems
some people are having.  Could someone send me a copy or synopis of them?

I just acquired a Tandberg 3600 drive (150/250 mb) that was supposedely
a refurb pulled from an RS6000 and it has worked flawlessly for me so I
am interested in hearing what problems other people are having.  I do not
know the EEPROM or BIOS revisions on the drive.  The system I am using it
in is an A3000T with AmiBack 2.0 software.  I have used it to back-up and
restore MANY megs of data (and am using it as I type this as a matter of
fact) with never a problem.  I do not need to turn reselect off and I do not
experience any noticeable slowdown - AmiBack keeps the tape streaming 
constantly and I get data transfer rates of about 5 megs/min.  The only
thing I had to do was set IO mode to Synchronous instead of Asynchronous
on the AmiBack tape configuration window or else AmiBack reported some
spurious errors.

Actually the Virtuality hardware is not quite configured that way.  We do you
Amiga 3000 motherboards.  There is one each per unit.  We use it as the floppy
controller.  The graphics are generated on a pair of custom cards that
feature the TMS34020 graphics processor.  Each board has a 34020 accompanied
by a floating point processor and 6 meg of dram.  All the graphics are stored
on the cards.  We use one card each for each eye.  The audio comes from a
combination of the Amiga sound chips, CD ROM drive and the players voices.
There are microphones in the headsets.  The machines are networked with
custom EtherNet RS422 Thick-Mode cards.  The hardware with all the boards is
actually VERY expensive and accounts for most of the cost.  The stand-up
system sells for about $60,000 and the sit down is about $50,000.

Yep. Just open up old AMY, locate the old ROM chip and replace it.
You have to check the revision of your board though. Some boards
need the jumper that's present on the 2.04 ROM, other's don't. It
is all explained in the 2.04 installation manual. I did it in 5
minutes.

Depends. For productivity mode, you need a VGA or Multi-Sync monitor as it
has a 31.5KHz (VGA type) signal instead of the 15.75KHz signal the A1084
expects. Using Productivity mode on a 1084 or similar modem, might ruin
it. And no, it does not get rid of the flicker since Productivity mode is
640 x 480 non-interlaced. But takes a lot of system cycles, more than an
equivalent 640 x 400 interlaed Hires screen.

Get onto C= for an update to the new 2.04 compatible JANUS software. Here
in the Netherlands the update is free. It might not be in your country.

Hope this helped...

I have a DMI distribution of the Insight drive. It is very versatile and has 
many different modes. The std mode is 20meg of Amigados formatted disk. It can 
also format in MS-DOS mode using Cross-Dos or Messy-DOS and give a 20meg MS-Dos
compatable disk. It can be used to read and write 1.44 meg HD 3.5 MS-DOS disks 
or a similar size AmigaDOS disk using the high density media. It can be used as
a Fixed Disk (C:) using an IBM emulator.

Well, it sounds like it is Disk-Validation problem.  The rootblock on this disk
cannot account for all of the files on the HD.  The same thing happens to

occasionally.  I just let the harddrive go for itself and wizz away for

Can't say that I've had much experience with 68k assembly on the Amiga, 
but I'm pretty sure it is the standard dialect.  The Amiga has some
nifty custom chips that may be treated a little differently thought..

The VGA monitor will work if you have the ECS chipset and the 2.0 OS.  A
"problem" is that the VGA monitor cannot handle the Amiga's 15kHz modes
and many programs open their own screens in these modes.  A flicker-fixer
will cost you a couple hundred bucks, but it will allow you to use the
A500 in nearly any mode that the Amiga supports.

I have changed the noisy fan in my A2000 against a PAPST Variofan 8412GMV.
It has a circuit for temperature dependent speed in it. You normally won't
hear it, your harddisk will make much more noise.

I have the same problem with a Viper streaming tape unit, I have been told
that if you remove the  SCSI termination power conductor from the cable
(only at one end) the Amiga will power up when the unit is off. 

The Amiga (Mac too) do not expect to find the SCSI units terminated
internally that is they do not expect to find voltage on the SCSI Ter.

it's necessary to have a OFS boot partition only if you're running wb1.x,
with wb2.x the 2090a is quite happy booting off a FFS partition, making
it possible to have _all_ the drive as one big FFS partition. Just prep
it as normal, then when dos-level formatting it specify FFS (needless to
say this isn't in the 2090a manual since they predate 2.04 by a few years:-)
