Title: Another world, errr ROM problem :(
Post by: Chain on June 20, 2005, 08:34:17 PM
Today i was upraded one of my A1200 (1D4) 3.0 roms with brand new 3.1 roms (from Slovakia, huh), and hell starts here: Prepcard says No PCMCIA slot innstalled (or similar, i have localized version of WB).
There is Apollo 1230LC installed too, with 8MB SIMM (maximum).
And memory problem appear here: I can use only 4MB with 3.1, but with 3.0 everything works fine.
So, is there any hack or some posibility how to use all 8MB?
Whats with damn 3.1 ROM chips? :(((

Are there any part numbers or markings on the roms?

Open up a CLI and type version carddisk.device
If it can't find it, it's more than likely you've got the A4000 roms instead of the A1200 ones.  :-(

To quote the immortal Homer J Simpson, "DOH!"

Sorry Chain, I completely misread your first post, I thought it said both PCMCIA failed and only 4mb ram found, my fault :oops:

You won't regret getting a Blizzard, a much better board than the Apollo.
