- Hopefully there is someone out there who might have some knowledge to help
- solve my problem.
-
- I have recently received an A4000. When I first received it I could cold or
- warm boot normally.
-
- After I replaced the ST3144A IDE Hard Drive with a ST3283A IDE Hard Drive the
- 4000 refuses to warm boot [Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga]. From cold boot it functions just
- fine and is about 50% faster than the 3144A. It won't even allow me to warm
- boot to a bootable floppy in DF0:
-
- With the 3144A (original drive), a C-A-A would cause an audible slowdown of the
- HD as it killed the system and then re-booted. This new drive 3283A does not
- seem to change pitch when re-booted. The system does go away and leaves me with
- a black screen.
-
- Any suggestions or thoughts?
- Please don't tell me not to hang the machine so as to avoid a re-boot.
-
- Thanks......
