I can not answer this considering the Trumpcard Pro but what I know of should
IVS's controller work well with RCS FF. I just want to make you aware about
that the Fusion Forty board does not manage the 32 bit memory to be accessed
from the Zorro bus, i.e., it does not support DMA yet.

I use a GVP series II together with my Fusion Forty board. This controller
is claimed by GVP to be a DMA controller but I have heard the opposite. I
have heard that it just have DMA to an internal FIFO buffer on the board.
Anyway, I had problem with this before i upgraded the ROM on the GVP board.

The problems I had were exactly DMA-like problems, i.e. if I disabled DMA
to fast RWM I could get it work but then it became much slower. These
problems are, however, fixed now in the new ROM.

I am not sure, but isn't the Trumpcard Pro a DMA controller. In that case
you can check if this is your problems by disabling DMA to fast RWM. This
can be done in two ways in the RDB structure. You can set the buffer
allocation preference Chip/Fast/Any to Chip or by setting the DMA mask
to only include Chip Memory. It may also be so that DMA is disabled 
totally if you set the mask to 0. If you can not affect these flags with
you IVS prep program it may be done with the CBM HDToolBox.

The drive that you have is most likely an ST506. There
fore try and get your hands on a Spirit Technologies
HDA506 adaptor. I don't know if these are still around.
I have had one with a Western Digital HD and Controller
on my A1000 and have to date had no problem. Be sure to
get the AutoBoot Kit with it. These were also made for
the A500.

BTW does any one know where I can get an AutoBoot Kit
for the HDA506??

The flickering could be due to the lighting in the area you live in.
If your electric supply is 60Hz for your lighting and your monitor is
displaying at 50Hz, you're bound to get a flicker.  You can evaluate
PAL mode more objectively if you use your Amiga in the dark or have
only 50Hz power supply and equipment.

Hi again,

The problem solved ! I have a semi-burned-up CIA.B  B-(

Thanks to Passi 'Albert' Ojala and Timo Rossi for their right answers.
Special thanks to Timo Rossi for his great "Blitfix" program which
solved my problem and I don't need to buy new CIA.

Before this kludge, I solve this problem with another funny kludge!
After, I saw that this freeze was solved by the disk change,
I patch a wires and a little push button from driver's DSKCHG pin,
I works with WB without problem, but I hold the mouse on my right hand
and button on my left hand. I clicked right hand, when the system goes
freeze, I push the left hand button to continue !
This is great fun but worked well B-))

Now, Timo Rossi solved my problem with his Blitflix hack.
Blitfix is a little (only 90 bytes) graphic.library patch.
If I understand right, my CIA.B TOD timer was broken and its
affect to system blit sync.

Thanks again,

No.  It's a pointer to a Task (or Process) structure.  See ExecBase->ThisTask

Since programs can be scatter loaded (if they have more than 1 hunk) this
isn't really simple.  Also, plain tasks don't have a SegList so it's not
possible to determine their start/end address.  Oops...we're getting into

I'm interested in getting the slingshot for my A500.

I'm curious to know whether or not this will work with the GVP Series II 8+ HC
or the C= 2090a.  More importanly, if this DOES work, will I need a bigger 
power supply?

If this helps, here is my system set-up:

A500 - Rev 5 MB w/1meg chip hack
A501
Master 3A External Floppy

I will soon be installing a PAL/NTSC switch, as well as the 2.04 upgrade with 
a rom switcher.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated!

I've got WB1.3 (1.2 ROMS) and have not had any trouble with Final Copy -- I use

While they indeed are "plug" compatible, they are *not* "pin"
compatible.  The ECS Denise requires some additional signals not
provided by the A1000 Denise socket.  You could probably hack the
additional signals, but there's no point.  See below.

Yes, you need an ECS Agnus too, which won't work in the A1000.  I don't
know for sure, but a Rejuvinator would probably allow both the ECS Agnus
and Paula.  Time to upgrade.

	Sorry, but that's wrong if you mean '19 inches' when you write
19".  The NEC 3fg and 4fg are the same size.  NEC says they are 15 inches,
but they are really around 14 inches diagonally.  The 5fg is 17 inches
(really 15.5 inches), and the 6fg is 21 inches (really about 19 inches).

I did exactly the same on my 3000.  I don't use the serial much, occasionally 
for testing a friends modem (In on one phone line out on the other :-) but
I really wanted the board for parallel.  I can now print to both my Postscript

on the serial and suffer accordingly.  The iowedge utility lets me use the

and it talks to my USR DS at 38,400 reasonably - not losing too many characters and it works at 19,200 flawlessly.

When I used to get that problem, or any other problem with a 1541, I used 
to stick the cardboard card, that came inside the drive when you bought it, 
in the drive again.  I have no clue as to what this did, but it always 
worked for me.  The card was supposed to be used when moving the drive 
around, looked like a floppy with one or two tabs sticking out.. Good 
luck..
