Title: GVP COMBO 030@40MHZ
Post by: A1200Power on April 30, 2006, 08:42:31 AM

Hi guys,

Guess i have got another problemmo  :-?

My A2000 has got the REV6.3 and also 3.1 kickrom. When i use my GVP COMBO the machine works nicely with 0s3.9. But when i insert another card i can look in the EARLY STARTUP and it gives a DEFECTIVE status.

If i remove a 4mb simm from the GVP card leaving it just with 4mb onboard. Then i don't see a defective status and the picollo card works nice. After putting the simm back on the GVP i get the same problem.

When i look with SHOWCONFIG it does list both the picollo and the combo. Only the combo has got a 8MB MEM Addres whilst the picollo get's a 4MB MEM Adress but with no location.

Are there some registers/barriers or do i need to start looking for another 2000.

Any ideas???

Greetings
Henk

sounds like the two cards are overrunning the Zorro II memory space. I seem to remember a jumper on the GVP card that causes it to put it's ram outside the Zorro II space. I can't remember exactly where it is though.

Hi JimS,

I have just read some post on the internet and hey say it is jumper 12 on the combo. I guess that is what you mean.

Thanks for the info.

Howdy,
Is this a "regular" `030 or the EC Version?
I have the exact same card, but mine's the EC version.
I also have the book & docs for it. Email me if you need some more help. BTW, can u play Audio CD's in your Amiga yet? I still can't even with OS 3.9...WTF? I could do it using 3.1...?
