Hi friends,
I need advice (again...). I recently bought an A3000 on Amibay. The machine is in pretty good condition functionally - it's the 25Mhz version, mobo rev. 8.9, 8MB Fast RAM, some SCSI drives etc. When I received it it had Buster 7.
I have a CV64/3D which I want to use with this Amiga - I put it in, installed CGXv3 and it worked, sort of - I get picture on my LCD, but when I access a HDD or floppy - e.g. open some folders, it restarts with a guru.
I thought this might be a Buster related problem so I ordered a SB11 from Amigakit along with an IC extraction tool. I switched the chips (I also changed the SCSI chip for the latest revision, which I got from LTAC on Amibay) and all works fine stock. But I get the exact same problems when I plug in the CV64/3D.
As I said - the freezing/restarting happens when accessing a drive. It can sit on WB for 30+ minutes without any problems - cursor reacts normally, I can access the top screen menus, show Version info etc. Then I open my HDD icon - the root folder displays ok, but when I want to open any of the subfolders - restart.
What do you think might be the problem? I'm going to try booting from a Buddha or something (when I get it to work...) to leave the internal SCSI out of the equation, but the fact that it also happens with a floppy drive tells me that's probably not the cause.
Btw, there's basically fresh 3.9 on the HDD from the previous owner - the boot drive is an old 540MB SCSI and the secondary drive is even older ~50MB. But they work fine without the Cybervision. I will try a fresh 3.1 too.
Thank you.
