A3000T Fast Slot not working HELP!!!
« on: November 28, 2006, 05:24:13 AM »
OK my A3000T has an issue.  It was working fine but stopped working so I eventually opened it up to see what the problem was.  I had to do this a few times before, it was an easy fix.  Reinsert the CPU card (A Phase 5 MKII 060) and it would work.  Well this time no juice.  I removed the card and it booted right up to 030 mode.  Suspecting the card I installed it in a A4000D and it worked fine.  Hmm I then tried the A3640 in the A3000T.  Nothing.  Then found out I need a chip:  74F08.  Ordered it and installed it no go.  Found the jumper setting on google so I have them correct.  

J100  3-4
J102  2-3
J104  2-3
J105  1-2
J106  1-2
J107  1-2

I did have a slightly leaky batt when I first got it and removed it right away and did the Lithium hack.  Then later it was dead and found 1 bad trace and repaired it and she came back up.  Been like 2 years since then.  Could it be another trace bad now?  (For fast slot)?  I am stumped as it works in 030 mode fine.

A3000 tower jumpers for a3640 should be

j100 3-4
j102 2-3
j103 1-2
j104 2-3
j105 2-3
j106 2-3
j107 2-3

If jumpers are set for a3640, or cyberstorm the on board processor will not boot with accelerator unplugged. I would highly recommend you do not ever change J105, j106, j107. Things can be ruined.  :-o

To use the A3640 I had to install the chip 74F08 that is why I set the J105, J106, J107.

Looks like a broken lid on the CPU connector. If you have a dead A3000 (or even 2k or 4k), take the connector from and replace it (you'll need some ironwork).......

Goodbye people.

Some Usenet posts also have different settings to yourself

The jumper settings that actually made the MKII work in my A3000T/040 are these:

J100  1-2
J102  2-3
J104  1-2
J105  1-2
J106  1-2
J107  1-2

I have just been going through the same problems as this thread describes.  I couldn't get a Cyberstorm MKII to work in an A3000T 040.  The A3640 worked fine, but the MKII did nothing. It took me awhile and a lot of testing but I finally got it to work today.  I put a 74F08 chip in U103 which was empty.  This alone did nothing.  I then changed J100, and J104 and presto, the computer tried to boot.  I then mounted the new libraries for the MKII and rebooted and I finally had it working.  Now for my question.  I did nothing with the J105, J106, & J107 jumpers.  They had no jumpers on them and still don't.  I have read here and several other places that all three should be jumpered on pins 1-2.  There is also a post earlier in this thread that says they should all be jumpered on 2-3 and never changed.  Could someone give me some help with this?  Is it fine like I have it with no jumpers at all (which is how the computer already was), or put jumpers on all 3 and what pins should I jumper?  By the way, I changed J100 to 1-2 and J104 to 1-2.   Thanks,

Dan
