Maybe its just the Cap by the CPU slot causing the greif becuase a re-seat cures it for a short while.

I tried cleaning the connectors earlier in the week but that didn't help.

Man its getting hard to type, anyone here got a ZBoard? Try typing on this after a few drinks

I have some 47uF 16V caps which I think are on the main 4000 board.. will that do (got three of them)?

fitzsteve · 19 November 2010, 23:57

Hey Paul_s, I'll check the Caps specs tomorrow and let you know.

Thanks again

Think the Caps need doing or something.

How about replacing he 68040.library for a proper one?

BTW: the 65XE don't appeared to this very day!

Hi rkauer,

I'm sure its not lib related as it works sometimes and not other times, if the libs were wrong then I guess it just wouldn't work at all, no?

Also some further testing today on the Ram. The first 128mb works flawlessly, 192mb shows correctly but when you get down to about the last 40mb it gets erroneous. And with 256mb only 208 shows and the Ram is completely erronous

I think maybe there is a problem with bank three or four, I set the jumpers as per the manual so I know they are correct.

Anyway, more testing to come.

About the 65XE, I've updated the Amibay thread so we can resolve.

Needless to say all three parcels were sent, you have my word on that and also I was out of pocket on the transaction because as you know I spent a whole day trying to pack in two parcels but due to weights I could not make it work so in the end it had to go as three and cost me more.

Steve.

I believe you my friend. The issue is on discussion at Amibay. Very sorry for the hijack.

fitzsteve · 12 December 2010, 00:24

New addition to this little big fella

Cybervision 64/3D replaces the PicassoII

And replaced CWB ADV with CWB P96

X-Surf setup and working:

Can't wait to get the 33mhz 040 in this!

Yeah I though about USB, but what Amiga I have so many!

I could use 1 Subway for A1200T and 1 Deneb for A4000D

alexh · 17 December 2010, 00:47

If you sold your X-Surf you could almost afford a Deneb and I'd send you a supported USB->Ethernet dongle (or you could get your own from ebay for £2)

Thanks for the offer and advice Alexh

I'm using the X-Surf to drive an IDE DVDRW at the moment though since it wont play nice with the CF on native IDE.

Of course all this wont matter once my SCSI Hard Drive turns up from ebay, but its taking ages...

Going to run that bad boy off the Z3 Fastlane.

Oh and a little project update... I've got an official Scan Doubler on the way for the CV64/3D

fitzsteve · 10 January 2011, 00:40

A little update, my NOS Scan Doubler for the CV64/3D came today from TorajaBoy off Amibay

All installed and working great

And I made a little Vid for my Youtube page:

Enjoy!

Just an update for public concern: after three months of waiting the three packages(!) came in mint condition.

cosmicfrog · 11 January 2011, 05:55

wow that is indeed good news rkauer

steve every time I look at that last pic I keep thinking the A4000 has no sims on the motherboard, Yes I know its the z3 but I still keep seeing it as the bottom of the A4000

Hey, that's exactly what I thought when I saw it for the first time (but I was too shy to be the first to admit it

)!

Of course, my A4000 motherboard has no SIMMs on it, nor even SIMM sockets ATM!

So you made some progress then

Paul_s · 12 January 2011, 00:08

I found one of those Kingston KNE20BT's in a network cabinet brand new a month ago caked in dust (thankfully the outer packaging held the dust off the card)... I forgot where I put it now...
