i posted a few topics ago that i was having some probs installing os3.9
so i thought my mainboard died
after e few testing i found out that without the blizzard it runs without problems
i even did buy some new memory to test if thats not the faulty thing
so now i need or a repair or a new 1
who has 1 for sale? or who repairs the blizzard?
-
1 - what is your blizzard ? blizzard 1230 MKIV in your signature ?
2 - What exactly happens when you install your card ? what leads you to believe it's dead ?
-
well at least i think its dead cause it gets my amiga resetting and giving weird errors while loading os 3.1 or 3.9
its the 030 blizzard
is ther any program to run a test with it?
-
Perhaps if you tell us what the errors are, we might be able to help.

before you throw it out, i suggest giving it a good clean with a q-tip and cleaning fluid. I recently bought a 060 which I thought was broken, continual crashes, etc. I gave all the contacts on the 060 and the board and my amiga expansion port a good clean with the fluid and it's been working perfectly for the last 4 months.
if it is broken i still wouldnt throw it. have it repaired or sell it as broken on ebay. someone will be able to fix it and you will feel good about saving a rare amiga item which someone else can breath life into. good luck!

do you have any memory sticks on it? did you try removing them?
-
resetting and some errors are pretty common after install 3.9 :)
did you instal it properly from emergency disk etc?
How are you set teh jumpers?
Is thar simm stick 60ns or 70 ns?
Did it run in another card?
as you see maybe it isnt faulty blizzard, ya know
-
Did you also try an another psu ?
