PCMCIA A1200 reset problems
« on: July 15, 2004, 06:48:48 PM »
My A1200 won't boot with a LAN card attatched.  Software
fixes are no use as no hard drive activity takes place.
Ordered a reset fix board from Power Computing and it
turned out to be Power Flyer specific.  I am ready to start
snipping away at pins if i knew the right ones...

I am using a Blizzard 1260 66 with 64MB,OS 3.9, 4 way IDE
splitter, IOblix on the clock port, internal scan
doubler.

HELP!!!

Thanks for your suggestion gents, but

SUCCESS!!!

After a second look at the "Power flyer specific"
hardware fix, i realised that it was universal, i
simply couldn't get at Gayle because of the scandoubler
socket on Alice.  I snipped off the wires from the
socket and with shaking hands soldered them directly
to Alice, thus freeing up space around Gayle, ready
to take Power Computing's hardware fix.  Result -
system now boots with LAN card in place.  I still
can't test broadband until my town gets switched on
a week today, but i'll keep you posted.

Cheers,

Lurkist.
