A4000 questions
« on: October 19, 2003, 06:50:07 AM »
I recently bought myself an A4000 in ATEO-tower with Cybervision 64 3D. There seems to be 16Mb Fast on board and I was wondering is that the maximum or can I add some more? And then there is the battery.. Luckily it hasn't leaked yet. How can I remove it? What tools do I need? :-?

Ugh,

If memory serves right, I think 16mb was the most you can put onboard.... But for some reason I thought it was 18mb with other chips.

Argh! Now I've got some serious problems.. Everything works fine with scandoubler, but when I try to use Cybervision nothing seems to work. The bootlogo looks good but when Workbench screen appears everything is messy and mixed up. And finally it crashes.. This happens every time.. Could anybody help? I'm becoming desperate.. :-(

  Sounds like a software problem to me. You can try P96 as I have heard some people have better luck with it.

So here's my config:
* A4000 030/25MHz in ATEO tower
* 2Mb Chip + 16Mb Fast
* 250Mb 3,5" Seagate
* 40x CDROM
* 3,5" diskdrive
* 3.1 Rom
* Cybervision 64 3D
* Scandoubler
* Samsung 753s 17" monitor
* OS 3.5

Scandoubler works fine but CV64 3D doesn't.. I've tried everything I can possibly imagine but the CV just doesn't work.. I'm desperate.. :boohoo:

Just a Note: DON'T TOUCH THE 8Meg CHIP RAM JUMPER!!! IT WAS FOR A FEATURE THAT WAS NEVER FINISHED.

IIRC, The CV64/3D should map into your FAST mem area on a stock A4000.  So, if you have 16MB Fast, 2MB Chip, and a 4MB CV64/3D, when you boot, you should have....
~2MB Chip
~12MB Fast
4MB missing (not listed in avail, but reserved for the CV64/3D)

If this isn't the case for your system, you might want to see if a jumper is mis-set on your CV64/3D.

A jumper? What jumper? I don't know anything about them since I don't have any instruction sheets..
