Try it in a different slot?  Try it with the memory removed?

As far as I recall from my experience testing that model of card, the memory should still show up even if you were to pull the ROM completely.  So I don't think it's a ROM issue.  Check that the jumpers haven't worked their way loose?

It doesn't show in Early Startup at all?

Do you perchance also have a GVP accelerator in the system?

At one point during testing mine was in the funny circumstance that I had both a GVP accelerator and a GVP HC8+ installed.  As long as I had a ROM in the accelerator it could boot off the HC.  There just had to be a GVP ROM "somewhere" in the system, LOL.  ;)

If I ever get around to my other A2000 project I'll have a Supra WordSync controller that I'll be trying to get rid of for cheap.  But at this rate that might be next year, LOL.  ;)

I noticed the card has a GURU ROM v. 6.13.  Update?  Advantages of updating.  Disadvantages, if any?

The ROM itself isn't worth much, you can burn those (which, you might as well update it to the latest 6.14), but that damned little PCB adapter is worth it's weight in gold!
