But I'm pretty sure that you can manage to insert a acatune -maprom * -cache on -burst on >NIL: to your startup-sequence while waiting for the GUI. Last edited by TCD; 16 December 2010 at 11:45. Reason: Back-to-back posts merged. Use multi-quote. |

Santa Claus Reindeer would die here with so much hot in the Canary Islands. The Kings come with their camels... much better

We wanted to test them on a range of mobo revisions, before shipping them. As sometimes, different revs act in different ways. Can you give more info on your exact setup? Have you tried changing some of the settings via ACATune? Are you using a custom ROM File? |

hi it does it with or without acatune. (even on the early startup screen). i believe that i have conbfigured acatune properly using someones settings earlier in this thread. surprising it is just the workbench/amiga gui/os that does this. if i run doom or a whdload game it works fine! lol it runs doom very well! i have a feeling its the psu or maybe the a1200 mobo. so i will rebuy both and see wot happens. i imagine this accelerator taxes this setup to the max (especially memory). i have a a1200 with the aca and a 4gb 2.5" hd so not that much power being drawn!
mobo is rev 1d4 Last edited by TCD; 16 December 2010 at 16:20. Reason: Back to back posts merged. Use the edit function. |

Sounds like a possible issue with WB configuration perhaps?

We tested all cards thorougly on the following mainboard revisions:
1B 1D 1D1 1D4 2B The ACA1230-56 is permanently installed in my development A1200, which is revision 1D4, which has run hundreds of hours with this card, without any single crash and glitch. On the German Amiga board, people already installed and ran their card without any problems. So we really need to know: 1. What exact Os revision are you running? Both Kickstart and Workbench. 2. Do you run any system patches on startup? If yes, what patches? 3. What does the ACATune tool say on CLI, if you type acatune -status. Does it recognize the card? 4. Aside from the ACA1230, do you have any other expansions installed in your A1200? 5. How much Ampere does your power supply provide? We tested all cards with 3A power supplies. 6. If you have a digital camera, please post a picture of the glitches. 7. Are there any leaked capacitors on your A1200 mainboard? Look careful, since it can be easily overlooked. If you don't know what to look for, provide us with a high resolution photo of the mainboard, if possible. We can only help you if you shed some light into the vagueness. Blind panic actions don't solve anything, they only create problems. Try to pull the card a little bit (maybe 1-2mm) from the mainboard away, since it may be possible that the connector has become a bit dirty from using the Blizzard 1230. If that doesn't help, try to run your Amiga only with the ACA1230 installed. That includes disconnecting the harddisc. Do the glitches still occur on Early Startup? Does your Amiga boot without any accelerator? Maybe the on-board CPU is broken (I had such an Amiga in my hands, which only booted with accelerator).

CU_Amiga, could you start a prb.Hardware thread? I subscribe to this to hear delivery-news from Amigakit, Jens, Vesalia etc. It belongs in a thread related to your accelerator, in my opinion. Then you and I both won't be drowned in spam (boobie smiley spam!).

I wouldn't have noticed this split-up if I hadn't read CU_AMIGA's request for help in the original thread before the split. Now we (which I mean: Jens, amigakit and me) all have to swap between two different threads to get precious feedback from the users.

Will post a redirect next time. I think it's better to have a seperate thread for CU_Amiga's problem, as the other thread is quite long already. Guess it might turn out useful for other people as well.

I don't think this is being productive at this VERY EARLY stage in the lifecycle of this product. Therefore, I am kindly asking you in a most respectful manner to undo this split. Last edited by Oliver_A; 16 December 2010 at 20:10. |

Okay, moved back. Some thoughts though : This is a news thread and technical problems don't belong here. I will keep it as it is, but at a certain point you should consider to create a support thread on your own then.

What's the status of the ACA630's? They are showing overdue on the status page on AmigaKit. It would be nice to know, so that I can apply a re-direct if needed as we are away for Christmas.
