Hey Marc,

I feel for you.  I am working on so many Amiga projects right now and it can be very frustrating when things that worked a few minutes ago, suddenly don't work any more.  When that happens to me I just go work on a different project, or quit for the night.  I guess that explains the dozen Amiga projects that I have unfinished around here.  Oh wait... I did get the CD32 w/SX32 Pro installed and working after having to replace the 2.5" HD because the old one would not format successfully after ten tries.

I might suggest that if you have an emergency floppy to start your A4kT w/CSPPC from maybe you should remove everything except the CSPPC and see if it will boot from the floppy disk.

Then start replacing everything else one piece at a time starting with the hard drive connected to the CSPPC and ending with the last Zorro card.  Start up the Amiga after each item is installed to make sure that item is not causing the problem.  It is a hassle, but there is a method to my madness.

Send me a picture of your ribbon cable installation on the A4kT module and I will check it against mine that is open now.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
