I just received the ZorRam128

I got one as well but I am having some problems. I sent a support ticket to Amigakit.  They came back with very vague information. I replied back to them and no response yet.  I hope they can help me resolve it.

Mine is not seen by early startup and the crystal and main chip (FPGA?) get very warm. I asked about this behavior and they did not respond to that. I think it may have to do with my Mediator A4000D in a tower.  Not sure.  I hope they can look in to it more soon.

No the deneb is working great!  I actually got the system booting from the Deneb using a USB 8 gig flash drive.  Nice and fast and no more hard drives!

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

[omnicron10]

Yes I agree.  They should not get damaged in shipping.  That does not preclude them from ever getting damaged.  I have seen USPS so some nasty things to mail!

I am just trying to figure out why I cant get mine to work.  I am waiting a new reply from Amigakit support.  Each update takes 2-3 days from Amigakit as they send me questions or ideas as to why it does not work.

If they dont have a many other good ideas at this point I have asked them if I can ship it back so they can test it on know good systems.  I only have one Z3 machine.  My Deneb is working so I believe my machine is good but I can not 100 percent preclude a damaged machine.

Waiting can be a bit tiresome.

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"?

A4000 buster 11 and MK3 060/50 with 128 megs.  16meg MB ram.  Mediator 4000D, Deneb. Voodoo 3.

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.

Thanks for the reply!

No screen shots.  The board is on its way to Germany for review.

Thanks for your reply.
