Progressive 2000-'040 Help

[Paul Gable]

Hi there,
Is there anyone here who has one of these boards in their Amiga?
Better yet, is there anyone who has the manual with the jumper
settings. I have 32 megs of RAM installed and only 8 megs are showing
up. There are 3 sets of 4 jumpers so there are just too many
combinations for me to figure out randomly. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Maybe http://www.amiga-hardware.com/ can help. -> Amiga 2000
accelerators -> Progressive Peripherals. They don't have the jumper
settings for your card but for another one of the same manufacturer.

Yes they have the Zeus listed but that board has 4 sets of 4 jumpers
because of the SCSI controller. None of the jumper settings seems to match.
Not to mention the Zeus has 64 megs of
RAM possible while the PP&S 2000 '040 board only has 32 megs.
Thanks though

Hi Paul,

The Progressive 2040 can only autoconfigure 8 MB of RAM. You have to
use AddMem to activate the rest. For 32 MB, add this to your
Startup-Sequence:

AddMem $8000000 $8200000 32Bit
AddMem $8400000 $A000000 32Bit

As you can see, it won't be continuous. Check the pps040.faq for more
info, including some jumper settings (burst access, caches):

Hi Alex,
I am not having any of the memory be autoconfigured. I am using the
Init040 Utility. Shouldn't all the memory be added automatically with
this utility? Even without using Addmem? I had one of these boards
before and the full 32 megs were recognized just using Init040. I
think that the jumpers are not configured correctly. The jumpers
differ from those used on the Zeus so the setting noted at the Big
Book of Amiga Hardware are no help at all.
Thanks
Paul

Check the pps040.faq please, which I linked in my previous post. It
contains many startup-sequences for 32 meg pps040s. They use either
addmem or romtagmem for adding the memory. For example:

RomTagMem -D 8000000 2000000 5 10 >NIL:
Set040 fastrom cache copyback nolocal >NIL:
Init040 FASTSYS >NIL:
SetPatch QUIET

The faq contains only these jumper settings:

Cache ON:
C1 absent, C2 present

Burst ON:
C3 absent, C4 present

(doesn't say what these do, maybe these should be left unchanged):
A1 absent, A2 present, B3 absent
