Morning all,
A brief request to keep things ticking over in these uncertain times.
I have recently taken an old A500 out of storage, and it is working well. I then decided it needed a few bits and pieces to drag it into the late 20th Century, so have added a 2MB chipram upgrade and also a Wicher 508i accelerator and IDE controller. I also acquired a fully licensed install of Workbench 3.1 as well as a licensed Cloanto 3.1 ROM.
Now, this is where it gets interesting! I couldn't boot the CF card - maybe because I requested the re-seller to install it for an A600 - but I get nothing from it. I have tried other CF cards, and get it to a screen saying it can't boot, or the AMiga equivalent of such. Hardly surprising as that card was for an A1200 with an Apollo '060!
I have eliminated the CF card, adapter and cable as the cause of the problem. It seems to be a setup issue. I don't mind working on hardware, there is a clear path and only so many things that can go wrong. Software however drives me nuts
Therefore, can anyone set me up a CF card with Workbench 3.1 for the A500? I can provide proof of my license and will obviously pay for the CF card etc.
If you can help, let me know!
