Amiga 1200: How to switch off Blizzard 1230 IV ?
« on: August 13, 2013, 03:19:24 PM »
Hi there.

I have an A1200 with a Phase 5 Blizzard 1230 IV accelerator card with AmigaOS 3.9 installed. Somebody told me that it should somehow be possible to switch on/off the card at runtime.

Does someone know more about that? Do I need additional software installed on the system? Which key does turn on/off the accelerator?

Many thanks in advance!

thanks for your answer. but this doesn't seem to work. I held "2" for the complete boot sequence, but when checking the system speed with SysInfo it still says that the accelerator is working...
