Help CD32/SX1 wont see Fast Mem.

[Claw22000]

Update I made the Memtesting disk which should be able to see it even when its Jumper 3 is jumped.  Still no go :C  I know it does access that slot since some ram chips EDO and ones that pan out to be larger than 16 meg make the screen go green.  Raymond told me that means memory error.  Which is good since it should do that.  Now I just need to find out what the hell to do.  Wish I had a working SX-1 to see if its the board or the sticks.

Any one with an SX1 want to come visit MN and geek out to amiga gear for a wile.

Well I was kindly gifted about 300 or so ram chips to try in here and I have had some that green screen some that just don't work some that make it act really weird.  Most do nothing.  I was finally able to get the memory testing thing and was able to see the jumper 3 most likely isn't the problem. :C  Is this thing just super picky on ram or what.

I never found it particularly picky, although I dont think EDO or ECC RAM works with it.

The majority of these ram chips to say what they are.  just going to have to keep trying every one.  What I'm donig now is trying each one with 1 setting on the jumpers then do the next setting and test them all again and so on and so forth.  If any one has some ram the know works in an SX-1 I would be glad to buy it off them.  PLEASE HELP!

unfortunatly I have had almost no help on this so I guess I have no choice but to just keep an eye out for a possible replacement or send it for repair.  I don't know whats wrong but I have tried every stick of ram I have (over 300)  none work with any setting.  Thanks to Nathan for the ram chips.  Everything else works though.  So if any one is well experenced making a WHDload machien that works with only the 2MB base ram let me know.  Problem I seem to have is even in Max mode on CWB (Hold MB1 durring boot) I still end up with only 1 mb free.

is it even worth trying to WHDload this?

Thanks for everyone who helps.

Hi,

Don't know if you have the manual, but this site right here has one plus a disk for setup I guess.

Hope it helps, and remember avoid Karlos at all costs

The disk only has a memory tester and a harddrive setup utility.  I checked that out already.  Still looking for info on a WHDload 2MB any ideas?
