hypercom3 / portplus a1200

I don't know if your card is like this but it might need the port to be mounted (mountlist under devs:dosdrivers or storage:dosdrivers) in order to work.

Verify and make sure the mountlist is 100% correct.

Try "version your.device" and see if it returns version info or fails to find the device.

If it fails the card is most likely faulty. If it does return info it might still be faulty, check for damages on the card and dubble check orientations on removable cables.

Mind you if you use the card internaly in the A1200 without any extra power to the motherboard that (not enough power to the device) might also be the cause of failure.

When I wrote "Verify and make sure the mountlist is 100% correct." I should also have added and all files are installed correctly.

And when I wrote "returns version info" I ment either a version number or that the device didn't have version info available. Else it should say object not found.

Anyway as it does give version info that's not going to help us verify if the card is good/bad.

In most cases if the clockport is used and the card is turned the wrong way around things will go bad in a hurry and the risk of "bluesmoke" is likely... and most of all the machine usually doesn't start propperly. So if the machine starts fine then I'd say it's safe to assume the card is connected correctly to the otherboard.

Anyway, I'm out of ideas as I don't know the card well enough. :/
