I am trying to use an old Power Computing XL drive (high density) with an A2000 using a PP&S 2000/040 card with 16Mb of fast RAM and 1Mb of chip RAM. When I install the software patch this drive needs, the system will not boot. It hangs just before loading Workbench (Gives no errors however - just hangs there).
I have used this drive on my old A1200 and my old A2000 (with GVP 030 card) and it worked fine. So, I suspect it doesn't like the 040 (or Vice versa).
Has any one run into this, and made it work?
I really dunno if this is of any help, but I know the powerdrive XL software patch has problems with 060 processors. Something to do about the data cache not being cleared.
Someone wrote a patch for 060 processors. Maybe the same problem is the culprit with your 040. You can find the patch here:
