Minimig Problem - Help!

[bon]

I just finished with the help of a friend of mine (who is really good in soldering) my minimig. I also bought a pre-programmed PIC from ebay and today started testing it.

I put kick.rom and minimig1.bin inside the SD card (2Gb Kingston Fat 16 Formatted) and plug the minimig on the monitor. The monitor shows it gets signal, blue and red leds light up on the minimig, and after a while the drive led (green) lights up too. I see however absolutely nothing on Screen. Pushing the "menu" button or F12, the minimig menu comes up, and it even lets me choose an .adf file from the SD card, reboot, everything! However it NEVER gets to the Amiga Kickstart Screen and of course loads no .adf file.... I have tried almost any ROM I could find with still no luck....

So any other Minimig owners/specialists out there I would really appreciate your help...

I have some kickstart files I use with WinUAE, and tested them all....

Of course I have renamed it to kick.rom .... I have also tried several different 1.3 ROMS...

Edit: Just for test reasons I used a working rom from another minimig so the problem is obviously NOT the Rom.... Ideas?

First of all thank u for your answer Mark. Can u please tell me how can I "monitor the serial output from the PIC during boot" in windows Xp? Can u suggest a software to do this, cause I have not done such a thing before...

There u go... I have also sent this to Dennis...
