n0 1 red n02 grnd no4 brown I think thats right (howerver what does the white do)there nis also a bare wire that i presume attaches to the shield?
does anybody know what the blinking red fred led means
and wilma blinks then goes out fred stays on lit up
all jumpers seem to be set up ok I presume
have run install HD software (old seagate baracuda HD)
prep hd gives bad arg :key
drive definitions gives no hd installed this is self explanitory
considering the previous
baracuda does not seem to make any noises
have checked power to it checks ok orange black yellow.
also what does this tell us about the A590
u12. 390388-03 1989 CBM V6 DFA0
u13. 8390388-03 1989 CBM V6 CBE8
also even if the HD is dead or canot be detected
the ram still appears to be (2meg fast) avail
