Chuck that Eprom I programmed for you onto the HC+8 to give you the latest gvpscsi.device driver.. ![]() Looks nice mate you cant beat a GVP against an A2091 can you. BTW would you have any spare 30pin 2MB SIMMS for my HD+8 (A500) I've been searching everywhere for 4 of them ![]() Best Regards TC ![]() |

Cheers for the offer my friend but if they are for the HC+8 then they will be 1MB sticks. I'm looking for 2MB sticks x4 for the HD+8 Sidecar unit for my A500, It only has 4 Simm slots allowing either 4MB with 1MB sticks or 8MB with 2MB sticks. If you had the 4x2MB sticks I'd be quite happy to swap them with the 4x1MB sticks I have to fill the remaining slots on your HC+8 BTW If the old ROM in your HC+8 is an EPROM & not a PROM feel free to send it for me to reprogramme for you so you can use it with your HD+8 Thanks again TC ![]() |

Sorry Bas, they are just 1mb simms, the card does have an eprom i believe...will have to check that tomorrow.
I cant add no more memory onto mine as it has 4mb running alongside the A2630...so thats whole zorro memory address taken....besides...with 112mb on the DKB...i don't think i need it ![]() @Z, the 2000 is my fav miggy after the 1200, tough enough to prop your car up and highly expandable....have fun with yours mate ![]() |

She is awesome indeed my good friend, theres something about an A2000 ![]() ![]() I loaded up Bloodwych's latest CWB with OS3.9 on the weekend & it was great fun. Not even missing the 2MB chip, tbh but would be the final cherry on the cake. Regarding the 4.15 firmware, I didn't byteswap the image, I downloaded & prepped it nearly a year ago now about the time you sent me that HD so my memory is a bit fuzzy. I've got the hex file ready to programme on my system in the office, If you like I can email it to you tomorrow.. just load & burn. ![]() Best Wishes TC ![]() ooh didn't realise the bugger can take 4MB simms too, did yours only have 2 sockets then or 4, I know there were variants that had the infamous 64Pin 4MB sockets (2 off) If that's the case must find some 4MB sticks to try |

As far as I am aware mate V4.15 was the last official version & in fairness it works with bloody everything, form Huge HD's to ZIP drives (bootable with RDB) & Zaz Drives. I have heard some people call it V4.5, but when you do a version from the CLI it comes back as V4.15.... Send me the old Eprom if you like & I'll upgrade it for you. TC ![]() |
