Probs with Mediator. Anyone experienced the same?
« on: October 19, 2003, 09:46:15 AM »
Hi,

last night I hooked up on the internet with my A1200. Suddenly the gfx looked totally weird, nothing looked like the workbench screen I was just looking at.

Then the comuter made a reset, and after the Workbench has loaded all my PCI boards were gone :-( I ran PCIInfo and all it reported was device #1 and it was unknown. The fact is that I have a Voodoo Banshee card and a Realtek network card which PCIInfo can find under normal circumstances.

Has anyone else experienced the same as me?

I am going to, because it's a fresh OS3.9 install so I guess it's not a software problem. I would only like to know if it's only mine, or anyone else have had the same experience.

I am writing this on my A1200 and I got my graphics card working again.

I changed the cards a bit around, and now PCIInfo can see both cards again. I had to this a couple of times in the past also, a bit anoying, but if it works it's alright. Now I have my Voodoo Banshee in PCI slot 2 and my network card in PCI slot 4.

Regarding the jumpers, I think they are set alright, according to the manual. The only jumper that's set is the pins were the boards says 4 MB and 8 MB.

I once tried to install a Voodoo4 4500 in my Mediator. It didn't work. I then got an Amiga 4000 and bought a Mediator for this, and in here the Voodoo4 card worked fine, though the graphics weren't that good as the Voodoo Banshee.

Well, that's not exactly the same problem. If I remove all the cards and put them in a different slot all the boards are back and up and running.

But I fell your pain :-)
