Hello Garry,
Got some ideas from Kai regarding your accellerator - not all good I`m
afraid.

Therefore - if no SCSI device fitted - SCSI jumper not needed?
If your drive is not a slow spin-up WAIT jumper not needed?

I don`t understand the above - maybe you do?

So - simms okay - I think that means.

I haven`t tried this prog yet - so don`t know if it works or what it does -
give it a whirl.
Let me know results.

Your comments - sent to him to answer:
>> I tried with diffent combinations of jumpers on the board.
> This can be dangerous (!) - make damage.
> All in all it seems possible that something has been blown off.....
Just some ideas to be getting on with. Let us know how you get on - failing
that, let us have the board to try on different miggies.
Do you have any info on towering an Amiga in an ATX tower perchance?
Guess what he came home with today? My turn to say `oh my god!`
No carpet space again.
