Subject: Installing Fatter Agnus in a rev.5 A500 - need help!
Date: 27 Jan 93 16:21:47 GMT
Distribution: comp

I'm posting this for a friend.

      According to instructions I have, it looked like a straight
forward operation...but something went wrong..somewhere. Here's what I
did.
1. I began by bending down PIN 41 (PAL/ntsc) in the Agnus socket,
   inserted the Fatter Agnus, removed the memory expansion and then turned
   on the computer.  Everything was O.K.  
2. Next I cut the jumper (JP2), and soldered the top two jumpers
   together. 
3. That done, I went on to cut the track that connects pin 32
   on Gary to the CNX expansion port ("runs up from a plated hole, which
   is 1/8" to the left of pin 41 on the expansion connector").
4. POWER ON: Green Screen (chip RAM error ?) REBOOT: Yellow Screen (?)
   I then rebooted the computer several times and the screen usually
   turned green.  I then removed the memory expansion and then
   everything seemed O.K.

I was a bit surprised that this didn't work, as I had followed the
instructions carefully.  In my distress, I consulted a self-appointed
Amiga expert who quickly pointed out that I had cut the wrong track to
the expansion connector, and told me to cut a parallel track that was 
a bit to the right of the one I'd cut and very close to "the white silk
screened line".  (This track goes up to a solder pad just below and to
the left of C13.)

5. I reconnected the track I'd cut first, and cut the new one.

6. Power ON: Nothing happened.  Blank Screen, no Power light.  No
nuthin'.  I then removed the memory expansion and turned on the
computer.  Everything seemed O.K., BUT everything was NOT O.K !!
I booted up some disk-guy and found out that both my joystick ports
were non-functioning.  This is the current situation.  

              Please Help!!   Thanks in advane.     Koni.

Nope, it's not - and VERY few dealers stock it, unless you buy the HD along with
the computer from them, of course...

Thanks to all the people that responded to my first post with regard
to the GVP 030.  The consensus seems to be to purchase an 040.
O.K., ladies and germs, give me the scope on the 040 accelerators as
manufactured by GVP, Progressive Peripherals and the Fusion 40.
Any information as to these three 040 accelerators would be much
appreciated.  Thanks in advance for the info.

   From the text of some messages I think *maybe* people are confusing
the two.  From what I have been able to understand from what I have read
SCSI II is a command set enhancement of the "basic" SCSI command set and 
SCSI WIDE is the 2 cable, 16 bit bus.  Correct?

Yes! That is  a common chip to us Amigans. That is a CIA ship (no kidding).
You should be able to get one through the following company:

     The Grapevine Group,Inc,

They currently advertise that chip a$9.95 or two for $18.00.

I don't have an defenitive answer to your question, but maybe some help:

The 68030 and WB2.04 combination has no problems with >9MB RAM. I have
16MB FASTRAM + 2MB CHIPRAM in my A3000T. However, this is on the mother-
board. The 9MB restriction is still left in "Zorro-II address space" (like
for a memory card in an A2000), but I don't know how the A530-Turbo works.
I don't even know what it is (well, at lesat not who makes it).

Ask where you bought the accelerator.

   No, you can't really.  The 68EC030 is an odd device in that although the
MMU is not guaranteed to function, parts of it may still be active (and on
some early run devices, indeed the MMU was active, just not tested for use).
   The characteristics of the 68EC030 include fully a fully functional MMU
register set, meaning you can read/write to these registers, and even attempt
to set up a translation table in the normal fashion.  On most EC030's this
will simply have no effect...writing to the translation control register in
a fashion to enable translation will make the system look like the MMU is
active, but no actual memory translation will take place, as the MMU is
not truly functioning.  However, as mentioned above, a few EC parts may have
fully or partially working MMUs, the latter ones being the culprit of strange
behavior should an MMU setup be attempted.  Thus, it is really not safe to
attempt to use an MMU-involved tool with an EC030.  The above characteristics
are also what make identifying a 68EC030 from a 68030 difficult in software.

If you know someone with an PClone or a Mac with HD drives, try to

If I don't recall things wrong, it was (is) a bug in AmigaDOS.
Changing between DD and HD diskettes screws things up, not just for
formatting. I beleive the SetPatch that comes with WB2.1 corrects
this. These statements are, however, nothing more than (educated?)
guesses. I have a very fuzzy memory of it all. I run WB3.0 and have
no problems with my HD drive.

I have recently bought an Amiga 4000. I also have a very old (Serial

40 MByte SCSI Miniscribe attached to it. Now I know that in its current
state the card will not work with the 4000 because it is not 32-Bit
clean, it will not flush cahces before DMA, etc. The question is, can I
get new ROMs for the card and will it work with the 4000 if I do? (I
realize that it is somewhat slow, but I wouldn't mind having an extra 40
MByte storage!)

Hi guys!

I'm  having huge problems with my newly bought HST modem, so I'm crying for 
your help 8)


One  of  the  problems  is, that I recieve bad CRC's when downloading to my 
harddrive.
There  is no problem at all when I am downloading to ram.  The bad  CRC's  
pops  up
when  the  modembuffer is full, and it's time for the harddrive  to  do  its 
job.  I
have tried to change the buffer size without any  improvements.   I  don't 
think it's
because  of  a  slow  harddrive,  cuz  I  get transfer rates about 1 mb/sec
(A590/Q105LPS)

Secondly:   If  I  use  the  build-in phonebook in the terminalprograms I'm 
using  (Term,  Terminus/JRComm,  NComm,  XComm), I will recieve nothing but 
trash  when i get a connect, or I will simply recieve a guru.  What's going on?
???



I've  tried  all the HST setting programs that I've been able to find, I've 
checked my cable, and I've seen the modem working very well on a peecee.


Is  the  problem  with  the  CRC's caused by lack of real-fast ram (all the 
real-fast ram on the A590 are used upon bootup)?

My  machinery:   A500  rev6a  with  1/2 meg chip and 1.8 meg slow fast ram,
                 A590/Qunatum105LPS/2megfastram

What?  All I've ever heard is that the ELS drives are slower and definately

A while ago I thought about putting the 1 meg agnus in my A500 rev 5 but I  
heard certain A500's didn't work with it regardless of the method used to  
install it (cutting the trace, etc). Does anyone know if this is true and  
if so, what motherboard revisions don't work? Thanks and please e-mail a  
response as I don't read this group often.

     I do not know where do you get the luck, but somehow none of the 
games I tried, except for Wing Commander, worked on my A4000, even on ECS or 
Original chip mode.  I toggled around with other switches and some of
them worked but others did not.  All of my "productivity" softwares
works great and some even support the spectrum of colors available.
Overall, the computer needs more work, but is none the less sufficient.
