It is the zorrram that I am having problems with.  I wonder if it got damaged in shipping.

Which Buster revision do you have in that machine, and which CPU card?

What exactly do you mean by "having problems"? Red screen on powerup/reset with ZorRAM board being marked "defective"?

It is like it is not in the machine.  No power up problems.  No screen colors.  Does not show up in the early startup screen with the boards. Z3 slot works in the Deneb will work in any slot.  I have the system booting from USB flash off the Deneb.  

I need to take some pictures for Amigakit.  They want to see the card installed.


OK. So from hardware point of view, if not even an entry inside the Early Startup list of autoconfig cards exists, then something must have gone wrong during autoconfig process, namely reading out the ROM for the ZorRAM.
This indicates a very basic problem.
Which could be a missing reset signal, or completely screwed up signals (regarding timings) on your busboard. Do you have the original busboard still available?

If autoconfig would at least have seen the card, but a red screen with "defective" would have appeared, then the problem would have been known :-)

Keep me updated.
