5278.0. "Problems after installing DBK MultiStart/MegaChip" by LODGE::LEN (David M. Len) Mon Dec 16 1991 14:23

    I just finished installing the DKB MultiStart ROM switcher and the DKB
    MegaChip 2000 in my rev 4.4 Amiga 2500/030.  I'm not sure if all the
    problems are shook out yet, but there is one glaring problem I have
    encountered.  The AmigaDOS 1.3 RAD disk does not survive a warm boot.
    
    Both products seem to be functioning properly i.e. the AVAIL command
    identifies 2MB of Chip RAM, and I can toggle between the 1.3 and 2.0
    ROMS.  I haven't installed 2.0 on my HD yet, I would like test out the
    hardware mods first.
    
    I had used RAD many times before installing the DKB hardware and it has
    always worked fine.  Another thing I have observed is that system will
    sometimes hang and the screen will blank to blue.  Also, the system has
    GURU'ed and when I click on the mouse button to continue the boot I
    sometimes get hung on the same blank blue screen and must do a 3-finger
    boot.
    
    I currently have a call into DKB about these problems and am waiting for
    a return call.  But in the mean time, does anyone have any suggestions?
    Also, are there any other MultiStart II users?  And have you tried
    using RAD?                                           

    Well, it looks like my problem with RAD: was something I should have
    known.  I remember alot of notes about needing to use the command
    setpatch r  instead of just setpatch when going to the fatter Agnus.
    
    This has corrected my RAD: problem but it brings up a new question.
    I now get an VirusX Request box indicating that the ColdCapture Vector
    is not zero, and it could be a virus in ram.  I am using VirusX 4.01.
    
    Is this what the rest of you are seeing?

    There was something about that in the VirusX doc.  I had the same thing
    after I used SetPatch r.
    
    

    I'll check the docs, thanks for the reply.
