whoops, got to this thread a little late. That Kickstart chip you had is only good for certain mobo's. Clip off that lead or resistor and try again - I bet that would have done the trick.
You take that Kickstart chip off one board and insert it in another?
Well, that's the odd part -- there was no connection physically present on the old Kickstart 2.04 chip. You could see the solder and a bit of a wire lead on a couple of pins, but the resistor or wire was physically not present. I didn't bother trying to insert the old ROM directly into the motherboard -- I inserted the new one I bought, it worked, and then I moved it into the Multistart board and hooked the MS board back into the KS socket on the board and clipped it back on the Gary.
This ROM and Multistart board were originally in a rev 4.3 board and when it was damaged by a battery leak (which I need to repair one day), I bought a 6.2 board off of eBay.
