5231.0. "Trumpcard Pro + 8UP ?" by KAOFS::H_LECOMPTE (Acid Rain: It's raining death) Mon Nov 25 1991 17:19

    Good day,
    		I would like to know if anyone have a 8UP and a Trumpcard
    Pro SCSI interface working together.
    I just bought a Trumpcard Pro and it will not work correctly with the
    8UP memory board. The self test of the Amiga 2000 will work ok but
    the system hang after the light grey screen.
    I also have a Hardframe SCSI controller and it will work correctly with
    the 8UP module.
    
    Both the 8UP and the Trump Pro modules are working find by themselves.
    I will call IVS tomorrow to see what they have to say.
    I have version 4.9 of the Trump Pro ROM software.
    
    Thank You
    Hubert.

	Just a guess;  are they BOTH trying to auto boot at the same 
time ?   Do they EACH have devices on them with the same scsi id 
numbers ?

    I did not used both SCSI controller at the same time.
    The problem is between the 8UP memory board and the Trum. Pro
    interface.
    I have tried the Trump.Pro with a Commodore 8 meg memory and it is
    working find.
    So I guess I will have to try another 8 UP and see if there is any
    conclusion that comes out.
    
    Thank's for the reply
    Hubert.
5231.3Earier IVS controller had same incompatibilityTLE::RMEYERSRandy MeyersWed Nov 27 1991 19:5418
Re: .0

For what it is worth:

That had a Pacific Peripherals Overdrive controller.  The Pacific Peripherals
controller was designed by IVS.

I also have an ASDG 8 meg memory board.

The two did not work together.  The controller would cause memory to
be corrupted.  The problem according to ASDG was that the controller
ignored the bus protocol that should have prevented DMA when the
memory card was doing refresh.

Both ASDG and Pacific Peripherals agreed that the disk controller would
work with a Commodore memory board because it used a different refresh
strategy.  Unfortunately, they disagreed over whose hardware was at
fault.

    I have tried another 8UP board and it is working correctly.
    
    I will send my 8UP to Microbotics for repair.
