Hi there!

I am really desperate by now....

Since I replaced my 3.0 ROMS in my Amiga 1200 the Amiga won't even startup
anymore, as long as the harddrive is connected to it's power cable.

If I take of the power from the harddisk, the 3.1 ROMS Amiga intro screen
appears, and if I put in a bootfloppy then the A1200 boots normally!

Also, if I let spin up the harddisk first, this does not help. Also waiting
for 2 minutes does not matter. Only if I put back my 3.0 ROMS everything
works normal again.

I've tried this with 3 different brands of harddisks, and none works with
the 3.1 ROMS inserted. though, all 3 disks work ok with the 3.0 ROMS
inserted.

Also, cutting line 1 of the IDE cable (reset) does not matter.

Anybody any ideas left?

My config: A1200, apollo 68040/40 turbocard, 16 MB ram and an EIDE99 ide
adapter.

Please reply to m.kruger@quicknet.nl and martijn.kruger@solvay.com

Thanks!!

Martijn
