My A2000 will no longer boot.
When I try to boot with an install Workbench floppy it says: C: Version failed, returncode 20.
When I try to boot with HDD or Jaz it says: unable to open iffparse.library V39+ and ends up with an empty Workbench screen.
When I use the early startup menu, no matter what I choose the machine freezes.
When I power on without any bootable device, the normal kickstart ROM image shows.

I removed and replaced the Kickstart ROM with no result.

Did my Kickstart ROM die or is something else wrong?
 
What contact problem do you mean?

My configuration:
A2000 Rev 6, kickstart ROM 3.1(V40.063), Blizzard 2060scsi with 48MB RAM, scsi hdd Quantum LPS340, scsi CD-ROM Plex12/20

Replaced the kickstart ROM again, this time bended the pins a bit to get better contact and it works!

Thanks for your suggestions.
