Oh dear my memory ain't what it used to be...

Hi Rudi,

I understand your problem, thanks for sending me the 4mb simms if you want me to send them back to you I would be happy to do so, for some reason my Viper doesn`t accept them instead they show up as 19 mb lol maybe i was a bit too creative with the jumper settings.  Does anyone have any 4mb simms that definitely work with a Viper as then I will send the other 4mb simms back to Rudi.

Hi Timo,
How did you end up with 19mb? :-o
It did occur to me that one of those simms I sent you might have been a 16mb rather than a 4mb.
I'm going to play around with the jumpers a bit more see if I can cut the memory down that way. Otherwise I might have to take you up on your offer to post the simms back to me :-).
Or I might just give up on the idea and try something else!

Cheers,
Rudi.

hmmm, i tried a base unexpanded a1200 with an amigakit wifi card and easynet and i have just about a meg left? just enough to mount a PC shared drive over SMBFS and copy files with... can't do alot else, but it works...

not sure whats going on. are you using a VGA screen mode with lots of colours? anything in wbstartup?

When I realised memory was short I cleared out wbstartup (only magic menu in there anyway) and cut the screenmode back to 4 colours high-res. Hmmm I will have to delve deeper as it seems strange that you have about a meg and i've only got ~half-three quarters at most.

Cheers,
Rudi.

Hiya Rudi,

Yeah sure you can have the 2 simms back sadly the 4mb is just not recognised no matter what i do  :boohoo: i think i will have to buy some simms somewhere else ... maybe amiga kit?  :idea:

Luckily changing the jumpers has done the trick after all! Thanks Amigakit for making me take a second look and thanks Timo for offering to send the simms  :-)

The A1200 is now all sorted, just got something strange going on with the SAM. The SAM can ping other machines and the router on the network but can't be pinged by any of them. I can mount shares fine with smbfs on the SAM but the pc and A1200 can't seem to see it at all even though the SAM can access them. I keep checking through the obvious things like checking workgroup names and ips match. Everything seems to be ok but I must be missing something. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,
Rudi.
