Umberto Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I pulled it of the shelf, decided to put a 80 gig IDE drive in. On the desktop when I select Desktop info I get 2 bombs. I have replace the Ram, TOS chip, Power supply and even the floppy drive, all with known working parts but still get 2 bombs when I select desktop info???

Zogging Hell Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 NV RAM reset maybe. Or as the problem started with the hard drive, could it not be that? Try pulling it out and seeing if it solves the problem (if you haven't already). If it's not a hardware problem with the drive, perhaps a sneaky auto program or desk accessory is running on the hard disk that you haven't noticed.

STuck Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Damn, I was going to suggest changing the TOS chips, but you've tried that. I guess the TOS chips weren't burned from the same dodgy image? What version of TOS are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul92706 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 This is not NVRAM problem, i would make sure you have Hard drive connected properly. Also try another harddrive that one might be no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
011i Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Hi, I have same problem on an ST with original TOS and with TOS 2.06 so I guess it is not a software issue. It happens even without HDD or Floppy. Did you solve the problem? Maybe it gives my an idea what could be my problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help Is the Falcon capable of running such a large drive? When the falcon was created, IDE had around a 500MB limit (before E-IDE) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the falcon was created, IDE had around a 500MB limit (before E-IDE) Wow old forum.. Tos 4.01 can do 32 1 gig partitions. Magic and Mint can do partitions up to 2 TBYTES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
