GVP Combo 030 Installation Instructions

[Etherweet]

Ok.. I Give....

stuck my recently aquired gvp combo 030 - 40 mhz board in and all i get is a yellow and then green display.

It appears to reset the scsi chain and thats it.  no floppy seeking

living inside are a 2232  multi serial card, asdg thin net card and a gvp 8 mb ram card.

its had a supra turbo card in there forever and worked fine as well as resumes working fine when i go back to original configuration.

i have tried it with no cards at all plugged in, and one card at a time.

there are some slow blinks of the power led, screen color change, then some fast blinks.

on and on and on...  

i have un dms'd all the floppy disk images on the hardware site...looking around for an unbz2-er for those other files..

just to make sure i have double damned this project a 4mb gvp simm is on its way here too...

update:

i connected the hd light and observed that in the middle of all the power light blinking and green / yellow sceens, that the gvp board poles all the devices on the chain, then accesses dh0: a little bit.

so now i wonder what files it might be looking for, where they belong and what arguments those files might need.

i do get a grey screen right after power up before all the fun begins.

still ignores the floppies entirely.

so if anyone has a manual for the brown version of the board please let me know.

thanks

Well

i guess i'm the proud owner of the coveted dumbass of the decade award.

this gvp combo 030 40 mhz board doesn't work.  i guess its headed for the trash bin.

should it come up in some form other than solid green or yellow regardless of jumper settings?

i have it set to all of the default settings assuming i have the correct concept of the 3 pin locations and what is pin 1,2 and 3...

any ideas would be great

thanks

wow

WOW

i did what Buzzfuzz said and wham!..  it boots and shows 16 mb ram!!!

this saying gets used quite a lot, but i don't know how to thank you enough.

im guessing there's only one jumper to change to get it to boot from scsi.
