a) Is the A4k IDE really that flakey with CD-ROMs, or possible just certain ones?
No specific problems here: I had a Toshiba 4x, a Philips CDRW-800 (Now dead :-( Poor quality, and poorer service: they recycle the defective items :-x ), and now I have an excelent LG 52x.
I've added the following line on my SS:
C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES scsi.device QUIET
b) Wht the flakey or shot video output in certain modes like early boot menu with 2 out of 3 turbocards? Do 2 accelerators have issues? Sounds far fetched??
There is a 31Khz boot mode for the early startup and the CSPPC settings also! If you like to have the original PAL, you'll have to change this (pressing the 'Esc' key on boot, appears the CSPPC settings menu).
Use the space bar to toggle the 15/31Khz mode on the CSPPC menu, given that the default mode now is set on 31KHz (should work, I'm on a scandoubler so I can't notice any change).
As for the CS-PPC 233, if you encounter stability problems on the PPC side, get the
CSPPC233Fix.
