A curious Ram situation by C=
« on: September 04, 2005, 03:51:11 PM »
I have an C= 2630 turbo card with 4 megs ram installed.
According to Amiga-Hardware 4 megs is the max ram on this
card ..the card has positions for up to 8 megs..(thats ODD)
Why put the positions on the card if you can't add the full
8 megs ram ??? :-?
I also have an A2091 SCSI card with 2 megs ram installed.
With both cards installed I only show a total of 4 megs
of Fast Ram (should be 6 megs). With just one of the cards
installed the ram shows correctly (either card).
It appears that the 2 megs on the SCSI card and 2 megs of
the ram on the turbo card have the same address so it only
show 2 megs instead of 4 megs. They don't seem to conflict.
It seems odd to me that Commodore would do something like
that. I would think with Auto-Config all ram should config
correctly.

Perhaps it was because of a conflict with the memory address of the PCMCIA slot…

What is your motherboard version? Some of the early mobo's have odd problems. You want to be running at least a 6.0 I must admit I am not familiar with this one though.


Its a Rev 4.5 MoBo with 3.1 roms.
