Conference hydra::amiga_v1

    I'll see if I can find my docs tonight. If I can I'll post the jumper
    info for you. Also their was a disk with a memory test for the A2058
    that came with later boards. I got no disk with mine,and I purchased it
    new.

    It would be great to have the test code, can you lend the disk to me?
    
    Thanks,

    I haven't located my docs as of today,but I will get the data from my
    local dealer if I don't find them. I am running 4meg now,and will be
    needeing the docs to move up to 8meg. re the disk I did not get one
    when I purchased my board,so I took my system down to the dealers and
    ran the test there. I also tested the ram at home with the utility that
    comes with the GVP FASSTRom update. I am not sure what this covers
    though. When I went from 2meg on the 2058 to 4meg I got a guru
    everytime I tried to duplicate a drawer with workbench. GVP sent a set
    of pals out that corrected the problem.(this was why I took the system 
    to the dealers). At first it appeared to be a memory problem with the
    A2058 because when I set the jumpers to 2 meg it was ok 4meg guru.I
    have had no problems since GVP updated me,and none with the new GVP 
    software.

    Here are the jumper settings to set memory on the A2058 board
    
    
    	J1		J2		Memory Size
    	Closed		Closed		2 Megabytes
    	Closed		Open		4 Megabytes
    	Open		Open		8 Megabytes
    	Open		Closed		Auto-Congig Disabled*
    
    If you need to decrease the amount of memory to remove chips,you can
    	simply reset the settings. Even though populated the, system will
    only see what ram is designated by the jumper setting.
    (found this helped to resolve my problem with GVP controller)
    
    * When the A2058's auto-config hardware is disabled, the board can be
    automatically configured independent of the Amiga OS. THIS IS A BOARD
    DIAGNOSTIC MODE ONLY.
    	I have no info on the above statement. I lost my docs,and obtained
    the jumper settings at my dealers. It may have to do with the disk I 
    did not get when I purchased my A2058. I have also use the memory check
    from AMI DOCTOR sp???? .

    You may have noticed there is no setting for 6 meg. The a2058 has to
    have the last 4meg put in in one chunk. This is why I am holding at
    4meg.

    John,
    
    If you are interested in just adding 2MB to your 2058 module for a
    total of 4MB on board, you will need to add 16 chips to the following
    locations: U16, U18, U20, U22, U24, U26, U28, U30 (on the lefthand side
    of the board) and U55-U62 (on the righthand side of the board). For a
    total of 8MB on board simply fill all of your empty chip sockets.
    
    I have all the documentation and the Commodore diagnostic disk. I would
    be happy to copy the docs and the disk for your 2058, if you would send
    a blank floppy to me at mailstop HXM or if you prefer via mail at the
    following address:
    
    			Digital Equipment of Canada
    			1133-101 St George Blvd.
    			Moncton, N.B.
    			E1E 4E1
    			Canada

    Thankyou Bill and Murray, I've got thew immediate solution and the
    docs/test disk on the way. 
    
    Great conference,

    John,
    	Your Welcome. Also thaks Murry for posting the ic locations. I lost 
    my cpoy of the docs. Of course if I want to add more all I need to do
    is flush out the rest of the board,and move the jumper.
