- This is an A2630 hardware problem for anyone at CBM.
- (are you there, Dave?).
-
- A client has a A2630(rev 9.1) with 4 megs running in a A2000(rev 4.?)
- under 1.3 with no problems.
-
- I upgraded the system to 2.1 with a new ROM. Upon booting I got
- the 2630 monitor screen. (The system booted up fine without the
- 2630.) Knowing this meant I probably had old 2630 ROMS, I checked
- them. Yep, rev -04. Went back to the store and got a set of -07's.
- Stuck them in and now the system will not even boot, no screen
- flashes, nothing. Power LED comes on and never flashes. Double
- checked the ROMs were installed correctly. All OK.
- But still doesn't work.
-
- Swapped the ROMs between U102 and U103 in case they were
- mislabelled. (Getting desperate here, but did have this
- happen one time!)
-
- Swapped them back. Still doesn't work.
-
- Figured my bad luck, I had a bad set of ROMs. Back to the
- store and picked up two more sets (our last two). These don't
- work either, with the same symptoms.
-
- Tried the 2630 in a 2000 with a rev 6.2 board that is
- currently using a GVP 030 Combo board with no problems.
-
- The 2630 doesn't work here either. So I assume it is a
- problem with the 2630.
-
- I can't believe I got 3 bad sets of ROMs in a row.
- (I don't have another 2630 to try them in.)
-
- Any ideas on what I can check on the 2630?
-
- Thanks for the help.
