If there ever was a reason for getting an AmigaOne, I got one!!
My '020 A2K died last night. Does anyone remember what the purple
screen of doom signifies? I know it's a motherboard failure, but what?
So, I using my old WB2.1 A2K. It has problems, but it bootsup! :) I'm writing this with CynusED v4.2 and Q-Blue v2.4 =:o Eeks, I fell into
time warp.
I'm thinking of letting SoftHut do the repairs. Should I fix or not
will depend on estimate. Any info will helpful...

I had something similar on an A500 - try pressing down on each of the >socketed chips, they may have worked loose.
I think we can say that at least your CPU is working (the blinking power LED).

One option is to swap components between these two A2000s - either to locate >the fault, or to bring your old machine up to the spec of the other one :)

As you're getting some action from the machine, it sounds like only one >component is bad. I'd expect a repair to be cheap(ish).

And try swapping the two CIA chips. They are identical but are
connected differently and perform
different functions. Sometimes swapping them works.

This is kind ironic my A2K WB2.1 is Zeus powered! =:o
The infamous PPS Zeus '040. :Dennis

Thanks for that idea!! But, it didn't change anything. I get one 'Caps Lock' light flash and trying to bootup. Is that normal?

The BBS software and the 040 board bear the same name, but not quite the same functionality....
Anyway, so your thinking about an AmigaOne -- cool! I think OS4
will
debute around this Christmas. So, that will be a nice Christmas
gift. Are you on Santa Claus's list? :-))
BTW, checkout the AmigaOne-Lite at soft3.com before deciding
anything!
I know! :) Should I kill Zeus and go with my '020 & OS3.9? Wasted a lot ofit's
time long ago on trying to get Zeus to work with KS3.1. Problems were
non-auto configuration and memory pooling. I decided that it's own Romwas
'92-'93. I saw the Amiga World mag. '93 issue on the A3000T which sported
a sticker price -- $5000. Yep, the Zeus'040 was featured.

Guess what? I finally got my AmigaOne to dialup the Eastpointe BBS! =:o Damn linux drives me batty! Im using a terminal program called Miniterm. Oh, my modem is a Creative - ModemBlaster v92. I tryed the internet way, but I prefer dialup. I like this format better :)
my chip ram. Yeah-- chip ram, like the Fat Lady took a dive! :-))

Have you had a look at the capacitators on your miggy motherboard - with the old age, they might well have leaked...
