Spirit InMate no go
« on: October 28, 2003, 09:44:03 PM »
Our user group has come into possession of an
A500 equipped with a Spirit technologies InMate RAM/SCSI board, which sits in the 68000 socket
(See http://www.amiga-hardware.com/inmate.html for a closer description).

The problem is, though the card claims to support RDB and AutoConfig, it won't boot off a freshly formatted drive off an A3000. What little info that still lingers on the net suggests that the set-up (it's got a fair bank of DIP switches) is rather complicated.
It wouldn't happen that someone else has some experience with this card?

The A500 uses KS 1.3, but that shouldn't pose any problem, since autobooting and FFS on hard drives is one of the original 1.3 features.
