- I'm thinking about getting a G-Force *040* 33MHz board (with 8megs), and was wondering
- if anyone had problems with any software running with it. Also, Someone mentioned
- having GVP's *030* board problems with the Picasso II board.
-
- I have a 2000 with a picasso II board. Anybody know of problems using the 040 that
- I'm thinking about in regards to the same problem Michael mentions below about his 030?
- I also have a GVP scsi II card with 2 mb of 16bit ram on it and a gururom on it.
- Should this pose a problem with the G-Force combo and picasso II working together?
-
- Please e-mail me if you can, I cannot always get access to the newsgroups.
-
- Thanks!

- Ok, Now I have an interesting problem. I have a GForce 030 running at 40
- mhz with 12 megs 32bit fast ram. I have to run it all as extended so the
- Picasso II will work. Well, now when I use GVPCPUCTRL FASTROM, I
- experience several crashes. Back before I got the Picasso and the extra
- 4 megs memory, I had all 8 auto-configed and GVPCPUCTRL FASTROM gave me
- no problem. I haven't tried it with 8 megs auto-configured and 4 megs
- extended as then I'd lose the Picasso II again. Would the Picasso II be
- causeing the problem? I guess I could try taking it out and then trying
- to use GVPCPUCTRL FASTROM and seeing if it crashes.
-
- This is the location it says it relocates it to $01B80000. I have no
- problems at all using CPU FASTROM, though it doesn't print where it
- relocates the rom.
-
- The strange thing is, after I have been using the computer for awhile, I
- put GVPCPUCTRL Fastrom back in user-startup and it'll work everytime I
- re-boot. But after it has been turned off, for awhile then turned on,
- it'll crash upon bootup, and crash on each re-boot after. So I guess
- I'll stick with Commodores CPU, even though it doesn't seem as fast as
- with GVPCPUCTRL.
-
- Would the Guru-Rom correct this, or is it a memory location conflict with
- the Picasso II?
-
- Thanks for any help you guys can give me.
