Checked again without Merlin gfx card. No good. Removed all the cards!
No good -- I even got winking power light. The PSU is OK. Anyone got
some experiece in any of this?
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...

IIRC a purple screen is some broken chip RAM, but it would be
interesting to know how many times the power led blinks so we can tell
what might be broken as well.
What I would try is to remove and reinsert all socketed chips to see if this rubs away the layer of oxidation that accumulated over the years.

The good old CED! I should give it a try again, but I've become too
spoiled by
Emacs on a Unix boxen. But then, I preferred GoldED anyway. However, I could not think about using a diskette-only Amiga system...

If it involves soldering the motherboard, it's a love question, because
the cost will be high. What I suggest is to for the the AmigaOne. As I'm currently planning to do. Else, go Linux and get UAE.

The power light is steady all the time now.
Well, I'm more interested in the A1 than the old A2Ks. Could I live without a classical Amiga? Hmmm...that's hard. Amiga is a class of it's own. I will scrap one of them to save the other.:-|
though this in a KDE desktop. If I go with Gnome, it's a lot snappier,
like an '020 at 14MHz roughly. Do you think its prgs in the background?
Any particular linux in mind? BTW, Yellow Dog v.3 is shaping up! It would be nice if the installer for A1 was ready around OS4 is released.

Dim or fully lit? If it's dimmed down, calls are open to what could have died.

I swapped the CIAs around no change. I replaced the KSrom. If Fat Agnus
was damaged, would no chip ram be causing this? Just nothing goes on.:/
