A2000 GVP Impact 8meg card jumper settings
My GVP Impact memory expansion card for my A2000 arived today.
It's the second card on this page: http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/search....ny=gvp#gvp2008 or on the big book of hardware this entry: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha...gi?HARDID=1009 So the problem I have is as the card is fully populated with 8meg and my a2091 has 2meg, this exceeds the maximum amount available on the zorro bus (or so I have read) making the machine unbootable (yellow screen).I removed my a2091 card to test the GVP card and the machine works fine. I then tried removing 2 meg off the GVP card but jumper settings need to be changed in order to make it work as workbench still reports the card has a full 8meg. Removing 2meg off the a2091 is not an option as it may slow the Hard disk access down to a crawl. So wondering if anyone knows the jumper settings or has a manual they could scan for this particular card. |

 ), and I've found that its jumper settings are identical to the GVP Impact Series II HC+8's RAM jumper settings.Best wishes Andras Petri |

Thank you a_petri, those jumper settings did work, in a way.
If I just close 7 and 8 as the Big Book of Hardware recommends, then a DF1??? icon appears on the workbench, even though there is no disk in df1, then when I reset the Amiga a red screen appears with the following information: ------------------------------- System Expansion Board Check Status Manufacturer Product OK 2017 11 OK 2017 10 BAD 2017 10 CONTINUE ------------------------------- If I close jumper 10 as well as 7 and 8 then the df1: problem disappears but the red screen still appears on reboot. Workbench does correctly display 6meg in both cases, I am running the card alone on the A2000 at the moment without the A2091 card, Kickstart 2.0 (37.300) Any ideas anyone? |
