- I decided to upgrade my wife's A500 with a 3.1 ROM. I had previously
- done this with my A2000 with good success. The A500 won't boot up with
- the new ROM though. I have jumpered pins 1 and 31 as the instructions
- directed.
-
- I tried the ROM in my A2000 and it works fine (without the pins jumped).
-
- The A500 will not boot with the 3.1 ROM with pins jumped or not...
-
- When the A500 is turned on with the 3.1 ROM, it usually displays a
- pink screen and there is no disk access.
-
- Has anyone else had trouble installing a 3.1 ROM in a Revision 5
- motherboard on an A500?
-
- By the way, the tech at De Vine Computer Sales where I purchased the
- 3.1 ROM says that I need to get a Multistart adapter (DKB) and that
- will solve the problem. Is that true? I hate to invest another $35
- to try that experiment...
