So I've got an older model Pak 3 board, the "-030" version, not the newer "-030A" model,
and I'm unable to get it to work so far.

It starts up with a white screen, you can hear the floppy drive being accessed, and then
a brief (very brief) flash with what appears to be bombs before it repeats the cycle over
and over.

I'm not sure how different the jumper settings are for it vs the "-030A" board.

I've got a few 68030 CPU's so I swapped them in and out, in case one was bad. That made
no difference.

Here's a picture of it. If anyone is familiar with this board and knows the correct jumper
settings, I'd appreciate any help. I do have the English PDF.

Thanks.

Mine works great with the following jumper settings:


The GAL under the CPU is wired and that is why I have no jumper on J6.

I think J4 is problematic on your PAK.

Thanks for the reply, appreciated.

I've tried it with J4 both open and closed - it doesn't seem to make a difference.

I'm going to do the test that was recommended to me on my first Pak board, setting
the jumpers to where it starts up in "fail safe" mode at 16mhz, and I think the caches
are disabled.

When I get some free time I'll try that and see if it will boot up then.

Thanks again.
