Aaaaaah! Zorro/Buster problem?
« on: May 23, 2012, 07:16:04 PM »
Seems that every time I add something new to my A4k it throws up a new and difficult issue!

The latest one: Bought a Cyberstorm 060 Mk1, since fitting it it will take a few resets to display through my Cybervision 64/3d. Once it's displayed it is fine until a power off (resets are fine). Also, if I try to change the screen mode the Amiga crashes to a software failure.
 I thought I may have a software problem, so did a clean install with WB3.1 - installed latest 060 install disk from phase5's website - Installed Cybergraphx 4 and it has the same problem leading me to believe it's a hardware issue.
 If I remove the 060 and fit my A3640 (clocked at 33mhz so jumpers are set to EXT) everything is fine and fixed.
Now, it has a Buster Rev9 and I've read about Zorro issues with accelerator cards above 25mhz on this revision.
 Can anyone confirm that it's a buster issue or have I missed some thing? your advice is welcome as this money-pit of a machine is turning my hair grey(er).

@Zac67 I see your point but it doesn't explain the crash when switching screen modes. Yep tried both slots with the Cv64. I'm fairly certain the issue is down to the cyberstorm being present but the cause...?

Ah-ha! seems I've fixed it. So for anyone else who has similar issues-
Installing the CyberGraphX4.3 update fixed the temperamental boot display but not the changing screen modes problem. That was sorted by unchecking the 'memory protection' box in WarpOS in preferences.
I'm just surprised that WB3.1 gave me the same issues but there we go...
