S/H Cybervision 64/3d...please don't say it's DOA!!!!

I know it's not actually the same card, but it's the same problem.

I had trouble getting my  CyberVisionPPC to give me any output, even though I did excactly as mentioned in the guide. I used CyberGraphX v4 for the installation of the gfx card, on my OS3.5. I rebooted and it said the same thing. Weird!

I then tried to copy all libraries from another boot partion, and suddenly all worked well. I decided to find out what caused this and went through all libraries one by one. What I actually did, was to delete 2-3 libraries and rebooted the computer and if the CyberVisionPPC gave me any output, I tried once more...

Because of Murphys law it was the last 3 libraries I layed my hands on, and I started at the bottom, so mayby you can guess which libraries made the problem; 64040.library, 68040new.library and 68060.library. My acc. board was 68060, so it was the 68060.library that was to old. So try installing the newest libraries after the installation of the CyberGraphX software, and if this fails try downloading the CyberGraphX update from Aminet.

I managed to install the board on a boot partion, only containing the contents of the Workbench3.0 disk, some CD software and that's it. CyberVisionPPC worked fine then, even though one guy said that I needed atleast OS3.5, and the installation would still be troublesome.

PS. But obviusly you need to insert the card in the correct slot, as somebody else mentioned.

Try it out, worked for me ;-)

@Tajmaster

It's most likely down to your 68040 libraries. Update them, and you should get a better result.

And go through the manual of Picasso96, or if you would rather use CyberGraphX, update it to a v4.

The MapROM jumper and Kickstart version won't have any effect as to installing the software and get the graphics card running.

Unless you have an accelerator in the A2000, you can't expect to get it working on it. IIRC the graphics software needs a 020 as a minimum.

Forget CGX v3, it doesn't work very well. There is a reason it has been updated. Get Picasso96 from http://www.aminet.net instead, you will find version 2.0 which works just fine. Get SnoopDos as well, as it might tell you what goes wrong when booting.

Install Workbench again. Make sure you have a 68040.library in libs:. Install the Picasso96 software (don't unarc it on a PC). After installation, check that you have a Picasso96Settings in devs: and a CV643D monitor driver in devs:Monitors. Start P96Mode in the Prefs drawer, and use the menu to add the screenmodes to the CV64. Select a screenmode and test, and the monitor connected to the CV643D should display a test screen. Save the settings, reboot when it asks for it, and reboot. If all goes well you can select a CV643D screenmode in the screenmode prefs afterwards.

-EDIT-
I just saw that you had a 030 in your A2000. Maybe the card is dead afterall; bummer :-(
