@Doogster

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

I did have 4 spare mate but after swapping out that dodgy ram has left me 2 working ones, you are quite welcome to them bud

I'll fit that rom tomorrow...forgot all about that!

@Doog

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

@Doogie

Awesome! i just love the pron of hardware!

nice pics, I cannot wait to get to grips with my A2000, Coze has long loned me a GVP 040 Combi, I also have a multiface 3 / Xsurf and Emplant to put in there!! i cannot wait!!!

@TC

when you burn the 4.15 do you need to byte swap the rom image before burning or as is??

btw, on my HC8 on the A500 i am using 2 4MB sticks for 8MB i found 'em on fleabay for £5 + £1.99 postage

DoogUK · 03 February 2009, 00:07

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

TheCorfiot · 03 February 2009, 00:08

@Zeets

She is awesome indeed my good friend, theres something about an A2000

esp with that DKB

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

DoogUK · 03 February 2009, 00:08

I'm sure the rom version in mine said 4.4...is that possible?

TheCorfiot · 03 February 2009, 00:16

@Doog

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.
