Question
on a a2000 4.3 motherboard
it is finally running but does not recognize any scsi cards
it running 3.1 rom
could it have a burned pico fuse or trace under the mother board.
the cards are good
and all chip have been changed to good chips
read about autoconfig line being burnt.
i had a 2000 with burnt trace before.
is also  hard to desoder the 68000 socket on a 6.2

Answer
Hi Joe,

The only way to find a bad solder trace problem is to send it in to a store like Software Hut (www.softhut.com) and have their technician look at it. It may not be cheap though, as shipping costs are expensive, especially if you're shipping from overseas. You may want to try and find and buy a working A2000 motherboard from a place like eBay.com; it might be cheaper and an easier solution in the long run.

I hope this helps!
