GVP Impact A3001 memory upgrade help
« on: November 15, 2006, 04:03:28 AM »
OK just pulled this old card out to install into one of my A2000's that I am restoring.  It came populated with 8 30-pin SIMMs but only shows 4MB 24-bit Fast.  Upon doing some Googling I found some jumper settings to try, remove J5 for 8MB mode.  I do it and it shows up with 8MB but hangs once WB loads!  Sooo it seems either the SIMMs are bad or the card is bad, explains why PO had it set to only 4MB.  I read this card takes special Nibble Mode SIMMs.  Problem is I cannot figure out how to remove the SIMMs on the card (without braking something)  It has a clipping method I never saw, like the SIMMs slide in and snap into place, not insert and push down to a snap like all the others.  Anyone have this card that can help?

Yeah J5 is the jumper for 8MB, but it seems the SIMMs that are installed are probably not compatible.  Problem is I cannot seem to remove them!  Real pain and I dont want to break the tabs.  It's a spare machine so 4MB is fine for now I guess.  My other 030 card a A2630 only has 2MB on it so this one is preferred.
