yes, i have tested a 4 mega on a2000

Hi Kipper,

My 8MB A500 module with CPU riser arrived. I get a black screen when trying to use the board with the CPU riser, but without the riser it works fine.

I also noticed my A590 is not detected when the 8MB board is plugged in at the same time.

I have 2MB installed in the A590 and tried with the jumper set to 2MB and "no memory".

Any ideas?


Cheers,
ck

I have the same problem with A1000 can connect nothing more
I would love to have a 4 MB modules like to try
I also have soft reset problems I still have to find out

@ck16

Firstly, check the riser. If one of the holes is a bit too wide, there might be a pin not making contact with the riser and nothing happens when you turn on the Amiga.

It happened to me once.

Hi,
I do not have an A590 so i cannot say what the issue is, it is possible that there is a memory conflict. The 8mb fastram board uses memory at locations $200000 - $9fffff, remove the fastmem board and do a memcheck, see what memory location the A590 uses. if it uses any range between $200000 - $9fffff then there is a memory conflict and the only option would be to either remove one or the other, or possibly use a 4mb board which would use uncontested area of ram
