Thanks!
Let's just hope it's not a hardware problem with my poor little board.


Did you get it to run?
Mine never resumed it's function (same error)
Also, I once visited KCS with my board (they put a 'filter' on it to stabilize the power) and I recall a comment that 'all settings would be lost if the battery were empty'.
In other words, flat battery, dead board.

Has anyone restored a "dead" board as the battery must be expired by now even if it is a rechargeable?
I have one of these boards and used to use the PC side to write and test batch files for work.

I have recently used the board as a A501 equivalent and that seems to work OK.
Are there any pictures of the conversion to Zorro slot board? I've never seen one.


Just to be clear: the memory expansion works fine, the PC side isn't recognized.

I used to use it for WP5.1,  Draw Perfect and ChemWin (using win3.0 with a 4 Mb ramdisk, my 32bit '020 mem :). I found it worked well and it could keep up, until 386 became commonplace.
