Instructions?

[Daz]

This might be in the wrong place but I can't think of another thread for it.

I'm looking for an instruction manual for a blizzard IV 1230 accelerator, and I can't find one anywhere!

Does anyone know where I can get it - maybey in a .txt or pdf?


Thanks

Do you want any special thing to know ?? I got a 1230II, and I know some guys that own a 1230IV but I don´t think they will scan their manual :( If you got any particular question just ask :) !

[Daz]

ooo quick! thanks

Well, i heard that you can load other kickstarts into the mem, i would like to put an old 1.3 image on it so i can run some of my older games?

would that work?

[RetroMan]

You can only use a special Softkicker for the Blizzard Cards called BlizKick, available on Aminet (as usual :) ) just don´t forget to activate the MapROM function first, but thats inside the readme, that´s nothing that is written in the manual btw. ;)

I'm also interested in that manual (next week I'll get my first A1200)

@Retroman
- What key must be pressed for disabling the accelerator?
- What kind of memory simms do I need? (EDO, single or double sided, 60 or 70 ns,...)

[Daz]

oooh! ooooh! i know that one!

hold down Number 2 on the keyboard - and you can use both 60 and 70!

I think it actually is the 2 in the numeric keypad?

I have the 1230IV.

About the kickstart, the only reference you can find in the manual is the possibility of remapping the ROM to fast memory (once you have some installed) via a jumper to achieve a general speedup.

If you want i can search in the manual for the exact jumper, although IIRC it is marked on the board too.

Hi, yes it is on the board I checked - and You can use both key 2 and 2 on the numerical pad - they both work
