I've had my Amiga 500 for two years now, and I've recently beenhaving some
troubles with it's A501 card. I'm running a completely unexpanded system
(i.e.: 1 disk drive, no speedups, no extra hardware at all, etc.) aside from
my A501. Sometimes, when I boot up, the SETCLOCK OPT LOAD command in my
startup-sequence returns instead of the
current date and time. This has happened to me twice this week, and about
four times in the past year. (I've had it for about 1 and a half years).
I've tried re-seating it a number of times (the computer travels to and from
my school with me 4 times a year), and it seems fine, but then out of nowhere,
it dies again. Does anybody have any suggestions?
