3215.0. "A1000 Power slpy ?!." by HAMER::DRAGOMIRESCU () Wed Dec 13 1989 11:04

Waiting for CBM to send their manual, and with the help from W.Germany
(thanks Gerald), I am going finally to the right direction, I think.
This is a brief description of the problem that I have.
 - After the loading of KS the screen goes black and stay that way, I
insert WB no change but if I disconnect the monitor cable end next
 I rested (A,A,CTRL)the floppy drive starts reading the WB and when 
 I reconnect monitor cable back,  I get the usual screen and the WB
 loads just fine the A1000 it's a life again. If I have the
monitor connected no mater if power is on or off (on the monitor) the 
WB will never starts to load, only by disconnecting I have the WB 
loading up.?
 - When I have the MicroBotics(2megs) memory exten. attached to the 
expen. port the A1000 never finished reading KS end gets in a reset
state (power light continuing blinks). I have the filing that the power
is over loaded (+5V.?).
 - With the Cltd. controller on the expan. and the hard drive but with no
memory attach. to it it comes up (with the exception of my first point,
I have to have the monitor cable connected after the WB starts loading.)
I am booting OK from the HD, but I can not have the extra memory.

Am I right suspecting the power??. Any suggestion?!.

Thanks, Alex.
