A2000 mystery problem

[Franko]

I can't figure this one out, but maybe someone else has had a similar problem in the past?  I have an A2000 with OS2, two floppies, HDD on a GVP SCSI card, and separate memory card.  The floppy drives are not recognized.  No problems booting from the HDD **until now** after I fiddled with the machine a bit.  I put the memory card and SCSI card in different slots, then the machine wouldn't boot up at all.  I put them back in the original slots and still no booting (but there is power to HDD).  I checked all connections and they are secure.  If I take the SCSI card out, I never even get to the screen asking to insert the OS2 floppy disk.  Does the system need to detect a floppy drive presence in order to get to this screen?  Anyone with any clue about what the hell might be going on?

When I had my old A1500 which was just the same as the A2000 (just without the HD), when I finally installed an HD & SCSI and extra memory I too ran into similar problems. I resolved it however by replacing the PSU and it ran fine after that, could be the same for you, if you can check all the voltages and currents from the PSU it might be starting to fail...

Franko, what happened to your old avatar? This MJ one is quite disturbing    lol

I came across that one last night and found it quite funny at first, but now it's kinda putting me off my dinner, think I'll change it back to the old one now...

Yep, I thought the Mad Hatter was a self-portrait.  Sorry.

No need to be sorry... it's pretty close to the truth actually... :lol:
