A4000 Upgrade Project Problems
« on: January 07, 2005, 06:19:30 AM »
I got a nice used A4000 today..booted up nicely into 3.0.  I attempted to upgrade the ROMS to 3.1 with ROMS from SoftHut.  The instructions aren't explicit on chip orientation but I aligned the ROMS' notch with the notch on the socket.  When I rebooted the power light flashed about 10 times short and then 1 long...if this means anything.  Anyway, pulled them and replaced the old ROMS and still no boot but the power light is acting normally.

The stock hard drive didn't have a jumper set that I could see...should it be set to master or does the Amiga care?

Any help appreciated!

Bob

Thanks for the info...I got the ROMS from SoftwareHut which I understand is the North American source.  Both are marked A4000 and both are numbered for the slot.  I found a local Commodore repair shop about 30 miles from me.  Think I'll take it in for some professional TLC.
