Hi all,



I came to the conclusion that this might be because:
* I have no clue what turbo board iam using. There are jumpers. Yay!
* I guess the jumpers can also set a maximum memory size, because AFAIK too much RAM causes the PCMCIA port to be become unaddressed/inoperable

Now i have several questions:
* Does anyone need extra RAM? :)
* In case that the above is true, i'd need a hint as of where to get a program for native amiga environment to do an in-depth memory test (like memtest86) so i can be sure the RAMs actually work and dont have nibble-seizures
* Are there affordable A1200 Turbo boards that (1) support more than one memory stick and (2) can address more RAM and (3) have at least some documentation so i dont have to play the "happy jumpering"-game :)

Oh, also .. someone warned me when i first posted here that starting to collect/work with Amigas will escalate. Yes. It does.

What card are you using? There are two sites that are easy to get to and list many jumper settings. One is:  http://amiga.resource.cx/index.html#topics
or the other is :  http://www.amiga-resistance.info/bboahfaq/index.php?sid=376351&lang=de&

There are other places, but these will get 90% of the cards.
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+
