Title: delfina flipper in A1200 with blizzard 3
Post by: amiga4001 on March 18, 2007, 07:39:42 PM: Trying to connect my delfina onto the internal clockport off the 1200.
Also installed is a blizzard 1230 MK3 with 32MB.
When the blizzard is inserted it doesn't start up anymore.
It gives me a yellow screen and the power light quickly flashes....if I remove the blizzard it boot's up nicely.
Should I go and look for an other turbocard?
Any configs which do work with the delfina?

The Delfina seem to be incompatible with Cyberstorm MKII cards too

Post by: larsef on March 18, 2007, 08:14:35 PM: I got the same behaviour with my Microbotics 1230XA, i.e. yellow screen and no booting. If I remove either the Delfina or the turbo card, the computer boots fine. I now have an Apollo 1260 which works great together with the Delfina.

I'm a little bit surprised that your Blizzard card does not work, because I thought this was only an issue with the Microbotics card. I know there are some issues with the clock port on some Escom motherboards, so you might want to investigate that if you have an Escom Amiga.

It says commodore and it is a rev 2B.
Always thought that the blizzard range was most compatible with hardware..
Anybody with a mk4 blizzard which works?
Or an other 030 turbocard?

Post by: Matt_H on March 18, 2007, 11:16:28 PM: If it's a rev 2B, you could be experiencing the infamous "timing problems" - multiple expansions on affected boards seem to trigger the symptoms. Definitely get a second opinion on this before modifying any hardware...
