Mediator 1200SX w/voodoo 3 installproblem
Hi, my setup is:
Amiga 1200 Blizzard 1230-IV w/32mb fast Mediator 1200SX Voodoo 3 3000 PCI 16GB hd AmigaOS3.9 The problem is, I've been trying to install my Mediator and Voodoo card all day, but I can't get it working properly. I do everything by the book (updated MMCD drivers, updated Mediator drivers, installed Picasso96 (latest), renamed CyberVision64/3D to Voodoo, copied voodoo.card to picasso.library etc etc, you get the picture). But when I get to the point where I have to "activate" or "mount" the Voodoo by doubleclicking the DEVS:Monitors/Voodoo, the Amiga freezes and I have to reboot. The Amiga freezes before getting into AmigaOS and I get a red screen eventually, after a couple of reboots. I have to remove the CONFIG jumper to get the machine up and running again, but then the Voodoo-card isn't detected (pciinfo), so I have to have the CONFIG set to closed on the Mediator card. Can ANYONE help? |

Duh, I simply had to activate MMU. Thanks to Elbox being very fast and giving a very proffesional answer, although I'm a beginner with little or no experience with MMU and FPU and whatever these terms mean. I only know they are good to have on the accelerator boards, but I don't know why.

I have a Merlin card that always crashes P96 on startup on my 060 A2000.. I'm pretty sure the MMU is already online after the setpatch command. |

just put the MMU file in the ENVARC:Mediator-drawer, and edit the MMU-file to YES instead of NO with EDITPAD or something. It's incredibly simple really.
