Re: Zip GSX and Rom 3?
Well, to confirm the ZIPGSX card works perfectly fine in either ROM 01
I have. Can't get it to crash on these, and always boots just fine,
runs nice and fast.. Much faster without the card.
My (2) ROM 3s work fine unaccelerated, until I put the ZIP GS in either
of them. Then weird stuff happens. Most of the time they never boot,
and I get a blank screen or I get the low-res jumble of colored pixels
mentioned above. Sometimes it boots fine into GS OS but crashes into
machine language after I try real simple stuff (like closing windows).
I've tried everything, even swapping power supplies (I need to find a
Buggie Power supply, though...), and I've taken out all cards, and
can't for the life of me figure out why it works on a ROM 01, but not
on a ROM 3.
Here's the potential catch, I suspect: The ZIP GSX was an Ebay
purchase, and looks like it has been upgraded to 14MHz, and also has
the 2 "skinny" 4 32k x 8 SRAM chips. I'm wondering if the upgrade is
the factor here. Looks like a great job of soldering, and like I said,
works just like a charm on the ROM 01....
Any tips on how to address?
This happen to anyone else?
