(more on this later) -upgrade the motherboard to Rev 4.5 (no explanation why) -RFI - try using an insulated shield between 2052 and GVP SCSI/RAM (or shielding the cable). well, I tried putting a RFI shield in place (and shielding the SCSI drive cable), no help. I did not upgrade to rev 4.5 (got this suggestion last nite). Wish I knew what going from 4.3 to 4.5 would do??? However, my dealer (after talking with C=) indicated that the 2052 is a power hog. Since I have a "homebrew" A2000 (with a Power One 200 watt PS) I figured I tried "shortening" the wires from the PS (although, I used to have a 80286 BB which had no problems). This worked! My dealer also said that the 2 jumpers are for "diagnostics"... It appears to be working just fine now - I made the change Sat nite, but, didn't get to run it too much Sunday - however - it boots up without any problems.... -thanks for the info folks -chris -- chris@zork.cc.binghamton.edu Chris Peck chris@bingvaxu.cc.binghamton.edu SUNY Binghamton, NY chris@bingvaxa.bitnet --"Any opinions expressed above are mine, ALL MINE!"--
