Hi
I have a PC rig setup inside my Amiga 4000 via SBC. It is a PentiumMMX 233mhz. I also have a ATI Mach64, Soundblaster 16, and a 3DO Blaster. All on the ISA architecture. I have DOS and Win3.11 installed, and a Creative CD ROM attached to the 3DO Blaster. The problem i have is that upon DOS bootup, sometimes the CD ROM drive will freeze (not respond). It seem ok when i first switch the machine on but its when it looks for the CD ROM drivers that it happens (after the HIMEM sequence). When it happens the CD ROM drive draw wont even open or shut. Other times when i boot the machine up it will work ok and reads cd's fine. It just sometimes on bootup it does this and freezes (it does occasionally "unlock" itself and runs fine from there on).
I have tried cleaning the ISA card contacts, including the RAM stick. I have also changed IDE cable, but no luck there either. I am really running out of ideas on what i can do. I hope nothing is not working anymore. Has anyone got any ideas?!
Thanks for your time. 😀
