I was able to load up and watch EAs "Kaleidoscope" for a little bit. I'll follow up...
Funny you mention that. I sent @intric8 a completed board, but used cheap eBay pin headers on the CPU socket like these (all I had left)
... and his board wouldn't post.
It looks like they're good for maybe 3-4 insertions, as they did indeed still work while being tested here. I have also since had to replace sets of these on A500 motherboards where I'd destroyed the CPU socket while testing several builds of TF530 accelerators.
Have a look at
Keir Frazier's Github and download SYSTEST. You can get it in either bootable ADF image or direct executable you can copy to disk. WIth it you can test your RAM, CPU, CIA's, etc. to try and narrow down what may be ailing your A1000 while keeping that flash adapter installed. There's also DIAGROM, but you'd be taking it and the Kickstart version you're running out of the equation. I've never tested with anything other than genuine Kickstart ROMs and EEPROMS; maybe we need to pull up the address lines on that flash adapter?
Let me know!
Good luck!
