Cyberstorm MK 1 And blizkick

[nadoom]

BlizKick is an amazing tool, but i just cannot for the life of me get it working with my cyberstorm mk1 (68040/40). does anyone know if that card is even able to do it?

I am getting a constant loop. with blizkick reloading the rom each time then rebooting, it seems taht the rom is not sticking in the memory.

Also when i try:

blizkick cpucard devs:kick1.3

the system reboots but freezes (monitor goes into standby)

piru if u are there help me!

here is my startup-sequence:

C:BlizKick DEVS:rom_v40.68 CPUCARD EXTRESBUF=200000 MODULE romupdate.idtag exec.library bootmenu FastFileSystem FileSystem.resource scsi.device ram-handler console.device shell ROMFIXES A1000jingle

If $SCSIUpdate EQ 1
  SetPatch NOROMUPDATE QUIET

   SetPatch NOROMUPDATE QUIET
   ;SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" Quiet
EndIf
Unset SCSIUpdate

i had a look at the memory module and the manual and there is nothing in there about the maprom function unfortunatly, , you say that it might be the memory configuration?

its worth a try.. at the moment i have 4x 16mb simms. ill try some combinations

thanks

@Piru

I have been turning it off, for 30 seconds at a time. Im sure the time it worked i had turned it off.

@In the Sand
i could tell it hadnt worked by the header information in the cli when the machine boots, it says something like copyright commodore-amiga 1985-1993 when it hasnt worked and copyright amiga inc xxxx-2002 when it has.

Also strangely the A1000jingle jingles when the machine reboots, and then gives the 1985-1993 commodore header on boot.

@Platon
I have my motherboard ram fully populated, could there be a problem with that fast mem?

Nadoom out,keep talking

Hmmm i copied my workbench: ( which resides on a CF Card) to my hard drive  running on my Buddha flash, setting it up to boot before the CF card, change various assigns etc, and it appears to work now.

could it be that the CF card was causing problems with bliz kick? other problems i was having with my amiga have also disappeared!
