Title: Dataflyer Ram Card
Post by: mkarate on October 05, 2008, 04:17:11 AM

I have an Expansion Systems Dataflyer Ram card and I can't get the thing to work. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on getting it to work as a stand alone card in a 2000 Rev4.4 I have tried the following:

checked all jumpers and they are as follows JP-2 closed, JP-3 Independent, JP-4 2&4

I have removed all the SIMMS except bank 0, so 2 meg and have those jumpers set correctly too.

When I run SysInfo it doesn't see the extra memory or even the card in the cards section.

The only thing that I can figure is that the 30-pin simms I have are 1x9 not 1x8 but I thought that it would just ignore the extra parity bit. I had it working on my 500 in the external case piggybacked on the dataflyer plus card but it won't work stand alone. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. I am about to pull my hair out over this  :crazy:

Is it listed in ShowConfig? Try moving it to a different zorro slot. I know, doesn't make sense, but worth a try.

Tried every Zorro slot and not showing in any of them.  I am running WB1.3.3 so I don't believe I have the showconfig command, right?

Thanks

 Do you have a copy of Sysinfo around?

 Look into the "boards" button, the hardware must show on that.

yep that is what I got on there right away when I could tell it wasn't seeing it.  Doesn't show in the boards section at all.  I have a dataflyer plus SCSI/IDE card as well and it shows in the list but not the ram.

Thanks
