Received one of these today and not too surprisingly, doesn't do squat. Light comes on, but that's it. Does not recognize RAM on the 2091 card and the HD does not spin up. Plugged the power cable for the HD directly from both the Expansion Chassis and the 2091 card. Nadda. Removed the seemingly dead card to allow pass-thru to my external MiniMegs 2mb card - nadda.
I suspect I need to be aware of how the 4-5 jumper settings are supposed to be set. And of course, no info on the net about them either. Anyone here happen to have one of these? They supposedly made 10,000 of them - I surely can't be the only one with one, could I? Why the 'F' are there never any manuals for these things?? Frustrated as usual working on this crap. Thanks for any help.
As it sits now - with nothing inside the Phoenix box, the A1000 does not even boot up. It loads Kickstart and then hangs. No matter the jumper settings.
Tried it on 2 A1000's. One even has all its ground mods done to the daughterboard. Same exact symptom. Computer loads Kickstart and just hangs.
