Re: ZipGS question

["Charles Claypoole" <1@rebbsNOTRASH.hopto.org>]

The installed boards in my rom3 are:

slot #1 SSC (for fruity dog communications - at least until I can get a
pinout to make it work for the gs port)

#2: none

#3: ZipGS+

#4: none

#5:none

#6: Apple HS Scsi

#7: CFFA Ide controller

Memory is a GSRam 7 Meg

I have a disk in the drive (3.5") that creates a Ram disk for the bbs, and
then runs acos to boot the bbs.  Zip gs works fine that way..  (prodos)

To boot GS/OS I usually just do a PR#7 since gsos is stored on slot 7 d1 on
my hard drive.

No apple talk installed - it may be on the install disks but not on hard
drive.

When I boot the gsos from the hard drive - either from the pr#7 or restart
w/ boot slot 7 I either get some strange error like

 Address 00DB19
Error Code 0043
LC Bank 0

Then crash

or..
the progress bar keeps going and nothing happens (freezes at the load).. If
I hit Ctrl Reset I notice a small "e" in the right bottom corner - every
time it crashes it is always there..  Weird..

Thanks for any info!  Charles
