Re: BigRAM 2630 comming soon...

I recently received mine and also am having issues.   On cold boot the BigRAM 2630 is not recognized.  A reset and memory works fine but the floppy drives subsystem internal and external no longer work.  All disks show as NDOS and give seek errors if I attempt to reset.   The floppys work on cold boot but as soon as BigRam is recognized failure.  I have stripped machine to bare minimum to no success to get Bigram to work and have functioning floppies.

Anyone else see symptoms like this?

For any that are interested.  

 I found that my issue with BigRAM 2630 and my floppy drives not working was caused by the CloanTo 3.x ROM.   I bought a 3.1 ROM (Thanks AmigaOnTheLake) and floppies drives started to work.   I suspect some incompatibility with the 32 bit RAM and 3.X.   Still have some gurus on boot-up occasionally(Power Supply???) but seems stable once machine is running.
