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.

Thanks, i'll have a look.

I don't get any further there...
Just pictures and specs, no manual or such thing...

@marcel21674

No docs in the .dms file?

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.

-Yes, you can use the memory without the hard drive as long as your system supports DRAM expansion. However, performance may not be optimal since data storage is limited to RAM.

-The jumpers on a motherboard are typically used for configuring hardware settings such as enabling or disabling certain features or selecting different operational modes of components like memory and CPU sockets. You'd need the manual or online resources specific to your board model to identify their purpose accurately.

-It seems that there might be a compatibility issue with Multi Evolution when used along with this card in an Amiga setup, causing system instability as you described. This could potentially be due to incorrect jumper

It seems you require more detailed information. I recommend visiting the manufacturer’s website for comprehensive guides and user manuals. Additionally, customer support can assist with specific product inquiries. Would that help?
