gvp 1230 jawsII slowly

[cpiac64]

the board not view from sysinfo in autoconfig, sysinfo report a 68030 50mhz but the a1200 are 1,04 speed, no ram on board is the problem or the board is fault?

[rkauer]

No RAM will not add much speed to the system. Put a single 4Mb GVP special SIMM on it and watch the Amiga flying!

Notice the GVP SIMM units are expensive as hell!

[cpiac64]

i have modify a 4 mega ram 72pin to gvp 4 mega 64 pin, but nothing.

i 2 board (one is broken), i swap the eprom and nothing, i hare remove the eprom and amiga boot with 68030 at 50 mega, no ram and no autoconfig board.

i need a file with eprom for gvp jawsII

[cpiac64]

help me !!!

[rkauer]

I think Amigakit (UK) & Software Hut (USA) have the GVP SIMM on sale.

Failing that, Amibay is the place to ask for one.

Be prepared to pay some absurd cash for a 4Mb stick.

I believe those boards need jumpers set correctly in order to work, i had to play with mine to get it to see 20mB

[cpiac64]

i exclude problem for the ram

with or without the gvp1230 is absent, no autoconfig board, the card work at same mode with or whitout eprom, not function the auto config, for test i insert date-time in the clock and at reboot the date-time are reset at 1999

If the card has an original battery onboard then chances are the battery is dead, however, that shouldn't prevent the Amiga from seeing it. most help i could offer is to clean the edge terminals and try inserting it bit by bit and try to see if it gets recognised

[cpiac64]

the battery original is ok, 3 volt, but is a battery special with internal chip and communication with one wire and are very rare.

sorry for my bad english, the board are not recognised from a1200, i suppose fail autoconfig, the a1200 detect only 68030

Do a check on this page: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/gvp1230mk2

The Jaws II needs an installation disk, so it don't have full autoconfig capabilities. The image of the disk is on the link.

[cpiac64]

i have original disk, but the utility not recognise the hardware.

[cpiac64]

i have a prommer and i have read some firm of some axcel, 2 are ok and the 27c256 are completly wryte, in 3 KO the firm is half and the line address A14 on board is not connect to 27c256, my question is: the firm are right or the second half are erased?

i need more file to compare, please help me.

Hi cpiac64,

I have the same Accelerator with 2 x 4 Meg GVP SIMMs installed into an
A1200 rev 1 D 4.

My Jaws Mk2 runs OK with Workbench 3 and 3.1 on ver 3 ROMs without any extra software.

This system is On-Line using a PCMCIA WiFi card and I chat and mail as well use it as a WHDLoad system.

I am not using the SCSI card.

The clock battery is built into the clock unit as one part.

I have a spare GVP 4 meg SIMM you can have.

I can post it if you want it ?

PM me please if you would like to have the GVP SIMM.

That`s the best help I can give you.


Regards, Michael
