Sidewinder was heard mumbling...
I'll call the local priest and see what he says about it.
ok, but get him to hold off with the holy water !
you can tell what kind it is if you go to
this page on the amiga-hardware site.
I've had both the Apollo 1230Lite (25MHz + FPU) which would only take up to 8MB (had trouble with EDO/FP, ended up with FP mode RAM) and the Apollo 1230 Mk III (40 MHz) which is well flaky. I eventually had to go back to the Lite, as NONE of the SIMMs I had (a 4MB EDO i got with the Lite, and an 8MB FPmode I got from Gasteiner, plus two 16 MB SIMMs I got off a mate (which worked for a bit, but not both at the same time, a la your problems)) would function in a manner satisfactory.
I think the probs might have stemmed -
a) from using an overclocked 68030-33
b) trying to use the bloody thing in a desktop 1200, with the weedy desktop PSU
c) the MkIII had a really bad edge connector so I couldnt use it upright in me Z4 tower. D'oh !
I can recommend the use of either trichloro-ethane spray, or if you prefer to not use such caustic stuff, some isopropyl alcohol spray and a tooth brush on all connectors (edge, SIMM, etc) and LET IT DRY BEFORE YOU TURN IT ON!!! :-o :-D
