Apollo 040 @40 problem

oddodo · 03 August 2015, 19:08

Hi my Apollo always did have some problems but now when i insert it it doesn't boot from a HDD .When i look in HDtoolbox here is no hdd :-(

Hi!
What apollo are you talking? A4040 or A1240.
Either way you should check your PSU, 68040s are power hungry.
I believe your are talking about 1240.
Check your PSU, because with apollo and HDD, your system will consume more than the psu can handle. Clean contacts of psu and amiga power connector.
Not an apollo issue.

HI! i forgot to say what 040 its a a1240
I have 3.1 kicks in my Amiga 1200 and it just don't want to boot.Replaced it with 3.0 and boots fine now.
Are the kicks broken ?
Can that be because i tried a ssd with adaptor on both boards with kick 3.1?
I have 2 PC PSU

What rom you have on your apollo?
I would sugest you to upgrade it

oddodo · 04 August 2015, 16:37

Tried a Blizzard 030 same problems with the 3.1 kicks.It keeps rebooting.
Also tried an other A1200 with no luck.

Do you have timing fixes done? What is the revision of your board?

oddodo · 04 August 2015, 21:40

Yes it has time fixes it's a 2b.I think that's not the problem a blizzard 030 always works.

I would buy some new kickstarts, it seems that's your problem.
I told you you had a bad AKReal install, but you've found some other problem with your hardware.

The kickstart set isn't so expensive http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...products_id=62

Use an antistatic strap too http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...roducts_id=110

How largue is your HD? Maybe you need to load another scsi.device and your Kickstarts are right ¿?.

From 8Gb on, even using PFS3AIO you need so.

no need timming fix i suspect to weak psu

Retrofan · 04 August 2015, 23:43

If you tried with another amiga with another set of 3.1 kickstarts and you don't have a largue HD then I agree with the PSU.

oddodo · 05 August 2015, 19:04

It's booting with a ide 250gb wb 3.1 and kick 3.1 on a d1.4
but the HDD is so slow :-(
thanks for the help

oddodo · 05 August 2015, 21:20

You need it to use BB2. You better read the instructions.

Remember also to load another scsi.device with both your Transcend 32GB and your 250gb HD.

Thanks i used an old version of ClassicWB to test it.I know about the scsi.device
