SecondSight boot stability
There was talk about this awhile ago, but I'm not sure if anything was
ever finalized...
My secondsight has become EXTREMELY freeze-prone on startup. It will
sometimes take 8 or 9 resets before the GS starts booting. Yes, this is
with a buggie supply, AND with a buggie convertor cable attached to a 230
watt supply. Wasn't there a previous discussion about removing something
off the back of the SecondSight board, (wire or diode) to increase
stability? Or was that only for specific situations, different than this?
My GS is a ROM 3, and the slot config is as follows...
Slot 1 - SecondSight 24-bit/1 meg ROM v1.4 BEEF
Slot 2 - empty (soon to be Grappler+ parallel card)
Slot 3 - Zip 14/64
Slot 4 - Soundmeister
Slot 5 - AST VisionPlus Enhanced ROM v2.0
Slot 6 - empty
Slot 7 - RamFAST Rev.D /1-meg ROM 3.01ez
Memory Slot - 4 meg Sequential RAM GS (total of 5.125 megs)
The 230 watt supply is powering all this, plug a Quantum LPS340 hard
drive, and an Apple CD300e+ CD-ROM drive, so I'm pretty sure it has a
nice large load (so nothing should be getting underpowered)
Thanks for any advice on this! I'd like to make my GS stable again.
