  • Sirius 8Meg for IIGS

    From Wayne Lafreniere@wplafreniere@lynx.bc.ca to comp.sys.apple2 on Thursday, July 17, 2003 14:27:53
    From Newsgroup: comp.sys.apple2

    Hi,

    I have a Sirius 8meg ram board for the IIGS and would like to know what
    the jumpers settings are for? Well, OK the 1024/256 is obvious but the
    others? Crow0, Crow1,7.5, D4/D6?

    Thanks,
    Wayne

    I have one also and would be interested in knowing more
    about the jumpers as well. If anyone has a complete manual
    it would be greatly appreciated if they could scan it in and
    pass the info along to Wayne and I.

    Thanks,

    Well Heck Jason,
    I got that thing with the card. What else ya got? ;-)

    That would be about it. I think that is all they sent with it when I
    bought mine. I think I got it about 2 or 3 years ago.

    Oh well,
    Jason Whorton

    Are you Sirius? Now I have to talk to Tony Diaz.
    And right in the middle of his getting ready to go
    to KFest. Maybe I'll email AllTech and see what they
    have to say. You'd think something that costs that
    much would have a nice manual, like the MicroDrive
    cards I use to build my hard card. It's 17 pages not
    including the warranty page. Oh well, I run 4 mb
    now coz no matter what simm is where it errors
    out at the same location. Too bad I bought it used
    off eBay. No one to run to. Thanks, Jason.

    yeah, that's all they come with, just a single page.
    and not to be outdone, I had made this nicer .pdf if you prefer. the only
    bit I couldn't get right was the angled text at the top. Acrobat hacked down the font resolution on me, and I'm not sure how to fix it.:

    if that doesn't work try this one:

    Kool Mark. This one works fine. That is great for normal
    settings, but I'd like to know if I can use it as a 6 mb card.
    I'm sure there must be a way to set it that way.

    I don't know if it will do 6MB. If it did, then I think they would have
    sold it that way. I think they just had 0 or 2, 4 and 8 when I bought
    mine.

    Hope this helps,
    Jason Whorton

    The jumpers don't seem to matter. I got mine as a
    4MB card, popped 4 more 1MB SIMMs in and got
    8MB.

    One thing to remember about the Sirius if you are
    using it in a ROM 3. You still need to populate it
    with 8MB to get eight working megabytes even
    though you'd think you need only 7MB since there
    is 1MB on the motherboard. If you don't you will
    get errors.

    I populated it with 8MB on my ROM 3 and it
    worked flawlessly until I stopped using my IIGS.

    There were two different Sirius 8mb cards. With the original one
    automatically recognized the RAM on the card. The second one was
    a bit different, the jumpers controlled how much RAM the card
    recognized.
