A while ago I bought a CyberVisionPPC card and I've been trying to install it into my system with no luck so far. I've heard it can be a real challenge getting it to work, and it seems ive had to bite the dust too. I hope someone here can give me a hint on whats wrong.
Im pretty sure theres nothing wrong with the hardware. Cant be absolutley sure but I do get an Early Startup image from the card. Also, the CVPPC is thoroughly pushed into the CSPPC so it should make contact properly. It dont show up in the Expansion list which is a bit weird I think, but I heard this should be ok.
Installation was started out with CGX V4 from CD followed up by the updates up until r6 available from phase5.a1k.org. After the installation i have the following (please bare, im not sure every component in list is applicable for CVPPC):
Devs/Monitors/CVisionPPC 4.3
Tools/showcgxconfig 42.2
Prefs/CGXMode 4.3
libs/68060.library 43.1
libs/ppc.library 46.41
libs/powerpc.library 16.1
libs/cgxsystem.library 42.7
libs/cgxvideo.library 42.1
libs/cgxbootpic.library 42.0
libs/cgx3drave.library 1.2
The CSPPC has been reflashed to 44.69 (at least thats version of cybppc.device). Otherwise, machine is an A3000D with OS 3.9.
When running showcgxconfig it says "0 graphics device(s) installed". Anyone any ideas? Please help!!

I do not have a CyberVisionPPC but I found a manual on:
http://file1.npage.de/006167/02/html/hardware.html,
It is German & English and might help if you did not get one. It shows the directory path for preferences as being different.
