- Hi there,
-
- I hav a problem with my GVP A3050 Acc. card. It's an old model ('91) with
- a Ram card connected to the CPU card itself an an AT-Bus controler. CPU
- Card is Rev 7 (030 & 882 @ 50 MHZ) the "A2000-Ram32" is Rev 3 with 8
- sockets for GVP Simms. And right there is the problem. The card won't
- reconize all 8 4MB modules (all original GVP 60 ns). Depending on Jumper
- J5 on the Ram Card it will recognize :
- J5 OPEN : 16 MB at $1000000
- J5 SHORTENED : 4 MB at $200000 (autoconfig) and 16 MB at $1000000
-
- There are 16 or 12 MB "missing". If I remove 12 MB from the card and
- perform a memory test it reports no errors (for some people might think the
- card addresses only 1 MB from the lower 3 4 MB modules). I think it can't
- be a mechanical problem, I've cleaned the Simm sockets and changed places
- of all simms but this didn't help.
-
- There is a jumper to enable oder disable the code in eprom U34 (27256). If
- disabled the card includes no memory at all. The eprom is labeled : OMNI
- 3.3, is there a newer version, which might fixes my problem?
-
- The german doc (by DTM) says that the board can be expanded up to 32 MB,
- but in the english doc there is no statement about memory expansion, only
- about "using 1 MB GVP Simms" and "using 1 and 4 MB Simms together" but no
- "using only 4 MB Simms".
-
- Asking M-TEC (the german GVP distribution site) doesn't help me, the
- technician had no plans to this card :(
-
- Is there anybody out there who could help me with my problem ? Please
- reply by e-mail as I not read this group regularly. Thank you
-
- Ciao
