G-Rex 4000D Product ID??

[doctorq]

I have just gotten my G-Rex 4000D back from repair in France, but no PCI cards are found in the CyberStorm PCI menu (tested with 5 cards, 2 x Voodoo, 1 x ethernet, 1 x TV card, 1 x sound card), so it's most likely still broken.

In the expansion board diagnostic list I have 4 entries, 1 x product 100, and 3 x product 101, all the same manufacturer. The product 100 is the CSMK3 I'm using, but must the G-Rex 4000D list 3 entries???

Thanks, very kind of you. A quick list of how your PCI boards are seated would also be great, from top to bottom for instance.

@amije

Here you go. Just a shame he didn't repair the item that I'd actually wanted to get repaired the most.

@all

Is the standard Amiga 4000 PSU enough to power an Amiga 4000 with CyberStormPPC, G-Rex 4000D and Voodoo 3 3000 graphics card??

@x56h34

Thanks for the list. In the text file, shouldn't the product ID be 101 for the G-Rex? Since I only have 3 entries for the G-Rex, something is definately wrong with it.

You are using the same cards that I would like to use,even though I will be adding a TV card as well.

Are you running this off a standard Amiga 4000 PSU?

And can you tell me which revision your CSPPC is?

Thanks for your input.

I have found an old SoundBlaster PCI128, and this can be found by the G-Rex, as well as my TV card. However, the Voodoo, Terratec 512i and ethernet can't.

Heat wasn't an issue during testing, since the top has been off during the whole period. No harddrive have been connected during test, so the PSU should easily be able to cope with the accelerator, the busboard and 2 PCI cards.

I get the same errors with both a CSPPC rev. 2, and a CSMK3 rev. 4, so the busboard is going back for repair.

Do you get a picture on your VGA monitor through Voodoo at all, or you simply can't since the card is not even detected in the PCI menu?

It's not even possible for me to get to the PCI menu, because with a Voodoo installed the computer just goes into a reboot loop. The same goes if a Terratec 512i is installed.

If the SoundBlaster PCI128 and TV card is installed, both cards are listed in the PCI menu, and PCIScan lists the TV card if only this is installed, but crashes the computer if the SoundBlaster PCI128 is installed.

Anyway, since the TV card is listed in both the PCI menu and through PCIScan, the software side of things should be ok.

Anyways, the board is going back to repair, this time together with the PCI cards I want to use.

I haven't got a voltmeter, so can't check.

Anyway, the exact same PSU have powered the motherboard, a CyberStormMK2 with CyberSCSI, CyberVision 64/3D with scandoubler, X-Surf, SCSI harddrive and floppy drive, so I believe it should be capable enough to power up the motherboard, CyberStorm PPC, G-Rex with Voodoo 3 and a floppy drive.
