- I hope I am putting this in the correct newsgroup but I am at my wits end!
-
- I recently purchased an Mtec 68020 Turbo A500 for my Amiga 500. I purchased
- it with No ram(seeing as how I already have 8Megs on my HD controller)and
- No Fpu. I received the Accelerator with a instruction booklet that was in
- German! I went ahead and inserted the Mtec into my A500 and placed the
- original 68000 chip on the board. Anyway, I first noticed problems when I
- tried to use WBPattern and load in an IFF file..The computer tries to
- load the Iff image and then crashes..Then I tried to load AWEB, same
- thing, it will not load any of the iff files.
-
- Multiview WILL load GIfs and others ok, but not IFF. Just out of
- curiousity, I opened up my computer again and switched back to 68000 mode
- and proceded to load AWEB. AWEB loaded up fine and so did Multiview--No
- Crashes at all. Now, this is where I am stuck..why would the Accelerator
- cause the machine to crash on Iff loads??
-
- Here is my system information if it would help:
-
- A500 With ECS, 1 Meg Chip Ram, 8 Megs Fast Ram.
- The 500 has 2.0 Roms, but it is Rekicked into 3.1 Mode
- Mtec 68020 A500 Accelerator with 0Ram, No FPU.
-
- Here is what SetCpu says about the setup:
- SYSTEM: 68020 68881 (FPU LOGIC ERROR) (INST: CACHE)
-
- Now, Like I said..I did not get order the FPU chip yet..
-
- I would appreciate any help anyone can give me !
-
- Thanks!!
