I bought this expansion card some time ago. unfortunatly the harddisk was defect. I'll hope to fix that in 2 or 3 weeks.

I have some questions, because i don't have a manual and i don't have a glue how this card works.

-Can i use this card without the harddrive, just using the extra memory?

-The card has 3 jumpers, where are they used for?

-When i remove my 501+ memory expansion card from the expansionbay (underside amiga 500), i'll get an grey bootupscreen and the amiga stalls, when the Multi evolution is mounted. When i remove both cards the amiga workes fine.
The amiga also boots fine when both cards are mounted. I'll get te macro systems bootscreen and it starts looking voor a scsi device.

Is there anybody who has some experience with this card?

Seems to be some info here and an install.dms.

Big Book of Amiga Hardware also has a database and a forum.

Got my 68 to 50 pin scsi adapter today. Hooked up de 4GB scsi harddisk and powered up the amiga.
I get the off limits bootscreen, but nothing happens, it keeps looking for a harddisk.
I'm starting to think the off limits card is malfunctioning.

The pcb is very dirty from flux remainings. I'm thinking to clean it up repace the capaciters and resolder the whole pcb.

I checked some signals yesterday, with a scope, but there all very distorted.
