Hello, this is my first post here!

i'm experiencing problems with
ACA 1232/25Mhz 128MB Accelerator used with the easynet pcmcia card on my Amiga 1200.
If i start the amiga without the pcmcia card inserted everything is fine. all the ram is detected and the computer seems ok. I can appreciate also a CPU boost of course.

If i start easynet the machine randomly:
- freezes (i can't even move the mouse pt)
- starts to slug (much slower than the stock 1200 without the accelerator)
- seems to work correctly but i can't manage to ping nothing, either localhost seems unreachable, and it freezes in some time

I run acatune in System-Startup with:
acatune maprom *
(but i experience the same problems even with acatune disabled and only 1mb detected)

i've tried also to use the slowpcmcia settings but i got the same issues.
I'm using CardPatch, and CardReset in System-Startup.

I'm using prism2.device (version 2.4)

My workbench is installed on a 4GB compact flash.

Also, sometimes i'm unable to boot (i got a black screen with the HD trying to load - actually the led is ON)

My mobo is 1D4, i (only) removed E123C and E125C as stated in:
http://www.ianstedman.co.uk/Amiga/am..._mobo_fix.html

I have a custom power supply built with a modded ATX.

Of course the easynet card works perfectly without the accelerator plugged in! I have no idea on what to do

Maybe i have to try the fix for the 2B rev of the mobo?

Thank you guys!
