TWGS upgrade problems
Hey everyone,
I got my mouser oscillators today, and just finished trying them out. I am
using a stock ROM 01 with 1MB of RAM to test. My TWGS has the Western
Digial 14MHz CPU.
I tried the 40, 48, and 50 MHz crystals in that order. Continual self-tests
ran fine for a few minutes. Then the self-test died with the 50MHz crystal
while doing the "non volatile memory test". It just locked up - no screen
garbage.
Now when I boot, all I get is a white screen with one black block in the
upper-left quadrant. I went back to my 28MHz crystal, and still get the
same thing when I boot. Even waiting a while doesn't fix the problem.
Tried moving the TWGS between slot 3 and slot 4, wiggling the oscillator,
pressing down on all socketed chips & the ribbon cable sockets - still no
good.
When I remove the 32k cache board, I get a pure white screen (no black
block) but the black block comes back when I put the cache card back on.
Is it possible that I've destroyed my TWGS? I'll I leave it for a few
hours/overnight but am not holding much hope.
Thanks
Tim
