It seems to be working abit better now without the FPU,I still have the 2 meg card in and it crashes when it uses a lot of memory like when I run igame.

I upload a video soon so you lot can see.

It seems it's difficult to find the right battery:

http://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz/showthr...ed-replacement

They say to use a CR2032. If that's true (I don't know), you could use a

-Coin cell holder: http://www.ebay.es/itm/KEYSTONE-1026...item2ebd8037dd

-And the CR2032: http://www.ebay.es/itm/2-LIR2032-CR2...item415c7212b7

-Or just solder this: http://www.ebay.es/itm/Bateria-Litio...item2c5eb361d9

But ask to someone who knows if they can work there, I don't have an idea, if it can be rechargable, etc.

I'll tell you that I haven't bought a battery for my ACA. Perhaps you only should desolder that.

you should try using AG-Launch instead of iGame for low memory equipped Amiga's

A thread on its creation can be found here

A youtube of [ Show youtube player ] (on a 2MB A600)

and finally a download link for AG-Launch

Quickformat your DH0 and install the one installed for 3.1 (the one you already have) in WinUAE. Later add the options you installed in the other. You don't need money for that.

No, sorry. Do you mean that now you have for example Tiny Launcher as an option more there? No, you have to know it better than me.

Yes it works better without 68882 25mhz FPU(Its only runs at 15 mhz cos of no quartz)it crashes when its in,even when the 2meg card is not in.

And another thing..
I hold down both mouse buttons on startup and in Expansion Board Diagnostic there is no ram board there..is that right..?

It looks like the battery is ok,it resets the clock sometimes when it crashes.

@Spanner

there should be a device / manufactures number entry in the EBD menu.

if not your card is not being asserted and neither is your memory or FPU.

I suspect this could be a conflict with your memory adapter and SRAM PCMCIA card.

Well said Zert0. Sram pcmcia cards don't work with older legacy amiga cards. !!! That is card dated before 1992.

sold this card to Spanner and this needs the extra ram and maybe the barrell battery should be replaced with coin slot battery instead.

I Know its july, but what the heck... Happy xmas....

Do you know (or Zetr0) if CR2032, like I've posted above (post 24) is ok for it?

Yep your right its not conpatable with the Sram card but it sometimes works ok and other times it don't,so with the Sram card in I can load workbench and some games run,most games that work are ECS games,it has problems I think is when it crosses over from one memory to the other,like from the 2meg on the Sram card to the 1 meg on the ram board then it crashes.

EDIT:

I have stopped using the Alfa ram card untill I get my 4 meg chips for it...can't wait but I will have to..
