Hi Jens!
I bought from you in 21-10-2019 ( order number 64886 ) one ACA500 Plus.
It has very little use and I'm playing more now with it because this week I started my summer vacations.
Today the Aux Card started to behave weirdly and 90% of the time did not work.
Examples of this weird behaviors:
-> with the WB 3.1 already booted, when I plug in the Aux Card two things can happen:
1) the white aux card led does not light up and the CFAUX icon does not appear on the workbench desktop;
2) the white aux card led does light up and the Amiga power led starts to blink and nothing happens to;
-> booting into WB 3.1 with only the Boot card inserted, it boots in 9 seconds. Booting into WB 3.1 with both cards inserted the boot time jumps to 43 seconds!
-> when booting into WB 3.1 with both cards inserted, the Aux Card is 90% of the times not detected!
This is not normal and it did not behave like this before.
Some details of my system:
- the ACA500 ROM is almost since day 1 on the last version 0.135 ( was shipped to me with 0.129 if I'm not wrong )
- the slot of the Aux card has all the pins straight ... nothing is damaged there
- yes the CF Aux Card is enabled in my profiles
- tests done with the CPU @ 14Mhz
- I use 2 brand new Sandisk Ultra 16GB CF Cards
- I switched the CF cards and the same occurs ( installed WB 3.1 on the CF card that was the Aux card, and the one that was the Boot card was formated in FAT32 to be now the Aux card )
- I'm using one Amiga 500, revision 5, with upgraded ECS Denise and ECS Agnus 8372A
Please tell me what to do?
RMA to you or do you know some more tests to do?
Thanks Jorge.
