Apollo 2030 Turbo working ram setups?

30 May 2016, 02:14

I have Apollo 2030 Turbo 50Mhz in my A2000.
It works great with 1 EDO 32mb simm in slot 1. I can manage 48mb with other 16mb EDO simm, sort of stable. No luck with 2x32mb setup to use full 64mb.
I even ordered more non EDO simms of different types to try different configs.
Does anybody has a working config that does 64mb with 2x32mb simms on Apollo 2030 Turbo?
I do realize simms have to be 60ns or faster. Is there any magic config FPM parity? FPM Non parity?

So some updates. 64mb setup with 2x32mb Edo non parity simms actually works fine, however
Only in WB 3.1 in Amiga OS 3.9 it does not. So it has something to do with Amiga OS, not the board itself.

Hey there, I saw you have some experience with this card. I have the 25mhz version. I hope this is an easy question you might know something about. my unit came from a working machine and as long as the scsi HDD was connected to it.. it would boot.. but i have since removed the scsi hdd and the card won't boot now. i see some jumper settings over by the FPU but they seem to be FPU specific jumpers.. there's a little blue box that is a little less clear what it does. I imagine there is some "scsi off" option on this board?
