Title: A500 AdIDE2 and OS 3.1 issues
Post by: TjLaZer on August 31, 2006, 03:49:44 AM
I have a A500, with a ICS AdIDE2 with 120MB 2.5" IDE drive installed and setup.  Baseboard with 3.5MB Fast, 1MB Chip.  Kickstart 3.1 with WB 3.1.  It seems to work ok but I think I just discovered a bug or problem.  When I enter early startup and select No startup it hangs on a gray screen.  I have to do a CTRL A + A to get it to boot to the CLI.  It also sometimes after a GURU will do the same thing, get stuck until I reset and I get the Software Failure message.  

Second issue, which might be related:  I also cannot seem to get NewTek Demo Reel 1 working!  It starts and no sound, then quits right after the multiple monitors with that famous gal saying, "Welcome to NewTek!"

Here is the system in question:

I thought it was good to go until I spent some time using it.  It seems to work otherwise OK...  Don't like the several 512k chunks of Fast Mem though!
