My A4000 needs help -- ehh yes!

@Amidelf:

The 31KHz modes are probably the works of the CSPPC. Press esc after boot to enter the CSPPC bootmenu. Then first select 15KHz or 31KHz by pressing space (you will indeed notice what is what . Then I think that under the system menu you can choose something like "31KHz modes" or "no 31KHz modes". If it is not under the system menu, it is under some other menu. In your case it seems like you would be wanting "no 31KHz modes". After that just go back to the main CSPPC boot menu and press save and things should work a bit better.

Good luck!

Do you have some sort of PS/2 adapter for your keyboard?

Was just curious as some PS/2 adapters can be quite slow to initialize at boot. I have this problem on my A1200T with Blizzard1260 - disabling the card by pressing '2' is _very_ hard as the keyboard finished its initialization just before the time to press '2' is up.

So nothing happens if you reboot and press esc numerous times?

I have heard of BlizzardPPC users having problem with their flash going bad, so a suggestion might be to reflash the CyberStormPPC flash. It would atleast not hurt doing so.

You can download it from two sites:

Latest flash upgrade from Aminet
Latest flash upgrade from DCE

These upgrade files should be exactly the same ones, just added both for the sake of it .

I urge you too read the instructions supplied in the archive _THOROUGLY_ before flashing.

Before flashing try entering the bootmenu atleast five more times so you are sure it doesnt work for you.

Good luck!

(edit): Have you never been able to enter the bootmenu of your CSPPC or is this something that happened recently?

Well, flash away then :=). Cant make things worse assuming that you follow the instructions and no power outage will occur during the flash procedure .
