A1200 dont see TF1230

Marien · 29 November 2021, 20:33

Hi,
I have a board A1200 rev. 1D1. It has not been used for many years. After cleaning and recaping, everything seemed to work as it should. But then I discovered a problem. With the Blizz IV turbo card, everything goes as it should, but if I insert the TF1230, Amiga it does not see it and runs only as a basic Amiga with a 2MB chip. ATK and diag rom reports everything in order.
Can anyone advise?

Thank you.

Try pulling the accelerator out by 1mm or so rather then pushing it all the way in. Ive had this a few times with 1200's, think my only one out of 3 with accelerators was my escom with an aca1232, my apollo is the same and so was my dkb cobra back in the day.

Have you tried some other Amiga?

Are you running Kickstart 3.0? TF cards need 3.1 minimum to automatically add the ram.

Regardless, the 030 should be visible though.

Not enough power from the PSU (Power Supply Unit), Does the TF work on a normal Amiga 600/1200 PSU or does it need a A500 one?

Hi, indigolemon,
I send a big greeting to Scotland

This was the right solution. TF 1230 requires kickstart 3.1 for its function Many thanks

And thank you for the others who tried to help...
