- I am having a problem with my B2000 Rev 6.2.
-
- I have the following fitted:
-
- CBM A2088 XT BridgeBoard
- SimonCard 128Kb XT RAM expansion (in PC-XT slot)
- Western Digital Hard Card (30.57Mb) for XT (in another PC-XT slot)
- CSA 68020/68881 processor card
-
- Certain programs (mainly games) seem to crash when the BridgeBoard is
- installed. The crashes vary from locking up to resetting with a Guru.
-
- If I remove the BridgeBoard (leaving the hard card and ram expansion), the
- programs work fine.
-
- (The processor card is disabled throughout).
-
- So, I require some solution.
-
- Can I disable the BridgeBoard (to stop it AutoConfig'ing) etc. (the games
- run from the 'insert disk' screen). Either via software or hardware?
-
- The problem occurs under both Kickstart 1.3 and 2.04 (both fitted via a ROM
- sharer).
-
- The problem has occured since when I only had the bridgeboard and hard disk
- (and not the ram extension or processor card).
-
- Please help (grovel grovel), I'm getting cheesed off!
-
- - Bob.
-
- Thanks.
