Title: Supported Zorro boards for MicroniK A1200 Zorro busboards
Post by: doctorq on August 18, 2005, 01:49:18 PM

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has a list of supported Zorro boards for use with the various MicroniK busboards for A1200? A list would be useful to many users I believe, at least it would be nice for future users of these busboards to have such a list on BBoAH.

I have personaly had a couple of those busboards my self, and it worked great with a CyberVision 64/3D and a X-Surf ethernet card.

What about prices? There are several versions I believe; one which only adds zorro slots, one which has a memory socket as well as the zorro slots and one which has integrated SCSI controller and A3/4000 CPU slot. Any tips on the price of those different boards?

Just upgraded my A1200 in a tower. This weekend I hope to have it up and running. It will have the Micronik busboard rev 5.44. I bought a Piccolo SD64 with it seperately. I will let you know how or if it's working in my setup.

Patience!

Many Europeans are still at work, on way home from work, eating etc.

Australians are asleep

Americans have just started work

Cards I have used in a Micronik Board: (old Z2 type without SCSI/RAM)

Piccolo GFX card (not the SD64) worked fine
A2091 SCSI Controller + RAM worked fine

I can add a Algor USB card to the list. Worked fine here in a Z3 busboard (with SCSI/A4000 CPU slot).

@Voodoo

Have you tried to attach only the MicroniK busboard without any cards, and then use the internal (020) CPU to see if it starts up?

update:

I've got a rev 4.02 board and the Piccolo SD64 does not work with it. Don't know yet if it's gfx or the zorro board.

The Piccolo is recognized (as id 10 and 11) but the output is distorted.

Furthermore the Micronik busboard interferes with some WHDLoad games!

So now I don't have the board installed.

I owned a Z2 busboard, no idea which revision, and used an Ariadne II with it for a long time without any problems.

Hi!

I got the same problem with Micronik rev. 4.20 board + Picasso II+. Amiga recognize the board/gfx card but I got distorted images!

The only solution is a rev. 5.4 board?
