Re: Xetec Fastcard Plus and general A2000 help needed

First a question: What size harddrive are you using?

I could never get our FastCard+ to work with HS's much over 200MB. For a couple of years I booted our old A2000 from a Zip external SCSI drive.

Didn't OS 3.5 or 3.9 rewrite how the OS treated HD's? Perhaps this is not compatible with the Xetec's drive device.

Jumpers: J1 in the upper left corner of the card (next to the SIMM sockets) is for the HD led connector.

JP 1, 2, & 3 are below and a little to the right. These set the device number for the SCSI controller. Default is #7 with all three jumpered.

#0 O(pen)OO
#1 OOJ(umpered)
#2 OJO
#3 OJJ
#4 JOO
#5 JOJ
#6 JJO

The other group are labeled. I asume you have Autoboot jumpered. The others are for RAM.

Count/Size/Ram Enabled
O /     O /   J           = 1 meg SIMMS in slots 1 & 2
J  /    O /   J           = 1 meg SIMMS in slots 1 thru 4
O  /    J  /  J           = 4 meg SIMMS in slots 1 & 2

Hope this helps!
Best,
