GVP Tekmagic 060 not booting, can you help?

Hi All

I recently acquired as in the title a GVP Tekmagic 060 card without memory which sadly will not boot past a black screen.

I have tried various types of standard 72 pin Simm's and I am waiting for a new Oscillator in case it is that.

The board looks in great condition and I can see nothing obviously blown.

I know this is a cheek, but would somebody loan me for a couple of days a GVP 4mb simm to test in it or I will have to return it and lose the bargain of the century, I will make up for loan with a little gift and cover all costs

Hope somebody can help.

Steve Jones

@clusteruk
Did you get the GVP install disks with the card? I don't think the GVP card will work without installing some software like 68060.library.

I have all that but it will not boot to a floppy let alone a hard drive with the file on.

Probably similar to my Blizzard 2060 - the manual told to install the software before the hardware installation, else it won't work.

But it is not booting to a point where it will ready a drive to get the files.

Just for the record it turned out to be the CPU was dead, I put a new one on it and it was better.

However, now I get a TekSCSI2.device error message which I have to press resume 60 times so I am checking termination issues now.
