Hi Karlos

I have 60/50+BVision, but with old CGX - that came with BVision  (I guess its 3.9, or something like that).
You know me. :)

Cheers
Adam

P.S.: I have some problem with power. It's kind of unusual, as its awfull at the beginnning (about 20 minutes). During startup everything freezes before startus-sequence is finished. When it warms up (really - when I can feel the heat) - it starts working pretty stable, however it happend sometimes that it freezes. I'm bit affraid of rewiring mainbord, and am not sure which +5V is critical. The funny thing is that I've heard so many times the sentence 'problem with heat'. In my case I would say 'I have a problem with not enough heat soon enough' :)
But it could happen that my machine gets frozen before your tests are finished - if it uses hardware acceleration I guess the problem with power can be worse. :( By the way - mayby you coud advice me something in that case? Does connecting additional +5V to the floppy connector helps? Isn't it also too far from the expansion slot? Is it this critical +5V path? Thx.

@Karlos @Tafka @Mendark:
Hundreds of thanks for help. :)

@Tafka @Mendark:
Standing alone, no network, no Samba.

@Tafka:
How can I swap to Picasso96? I thought that Picasso96 was just for different cards. Does it have driver for BVision?

@Karlos:
AFAIK starting from 4.0 CGX became different product, so I just have to buy a new one from vgr.com? But what makes me 'Merely Curious' is that if it's a BUG why didn't I get a single GURU?
I think that power consumption lowers when chips get warmer. The other clue is how the processor (either 68K or PPC) behaves after detecting that it's voltage is too low. What would you do? :) The answer is - it stops, being affraid to do anything. The only thing you can do to make him forget about this horror is reset.

However I can be very wrong, and cannot say that old CGX is bugfree. ;)

Regarding tests - My Machine is at home, and I have no discs with me today, so do not expect anything from me before Wednesday... Practically even later.

Good luck and thanks

I have to report that Korea started new reserch on nuclear weppon and China faces terrifying SARS disease due to errors in your software.

Lucky you, that you enclosed contribution about not taking the responsibility for all this mess... ;P

PS: Should I try these tests for CGX V4 or you have recompiled it?

How about showing these results in public?
I would like to have a look at it.

P.S.: Who am I? Who are you? Who are we? Where do we go?  :-?  :-P  ;-)
