- ITEM 1
- Some A3000 systems lock up when upgrading to KS3.1 because they may have
- page mode zips in fast memory. Try boot from a Workbench 1.3 floppy disk
- then edit wb_2.x:s/startup-sequence from "SETPATCH" to "SETPATCH NOCACHE".
-
- ITEM 2
- There are three terminators on A3000 systems, RP802, RP803, RP804.
- ALL 3 terminators MUST be removed!
-
- This is probably the single most overlooked problem with A3000 SCSI setup
- and may be the reason some people belive A3000 SCSI setups are flaky.
