Rebooting all the time

No need to shoot the computer :-)

PVS says the same here at my system, so I don't think you have to worry about that.

Have you never gotten the Voodoo card to work? The changes you have set is all that is needed to be changed. If the screenmodes are alright, and the monitor can show such high resolutions, it can be a matter of overheating of the Voodoo graphics chip.

An other option is a faulty Soundcard and/or fast ethernet card, so try running the computer with only the Voodoo card.

I had some of the same experiences as you (the computer would reset after 10-15 min, but after the first reset it was running stable), and my problems were caused by a faulty ethernet card. If I plug in the D-Link card now, I'm 100% sure that I will get some wired looking graphics on my workbench, and at the end I will only be able to use all the native Amiga screenmodes. In order to get it working again, I have to take the Voodoo card out of the Mediator and reseat it.

I have heard somewhere that the PCI card should be placed in a specifik order, but I haven't gotten that confirmed by anyone yet, so if anyone knows then say it out loud :-)

I don't know much about Apollo cards, sowhat kind of CPU is on it? 68030?

Maybe it's because of poor contact between the accelerator and the connector on the Mediator add-on. Try using a needle and bend all pins in the accelerator towards the middle, but of course not that much that the pins will go out of alignment when you put the card back in.

By the way, how much did you pay for the card?

[doctorq]

Damn, I could almost sell you one of my BPPC cards for that price...

Well, the computers gets all the power it needs. Just remember to use the normal power connecter as well.

@Acill
You don't need a scsi controller on the BPPC in order to put 2 x SIMMS on the board, as this board has 2 sockets no matter if it's a scsi version or not. The non SCSI BPPC cards can't be upgraded to a SCSI version.

@swift240
I haven't gotten any for sale at the moment, but when I have some I sell them for £100 and up depending on the specs of the card (a max price of around £180 though). The BPPC cards fits easily in an A1200 tower, but isn't a recommended solution for a desktop Amiga because of the heat the cards produce. Then you have to do something like weirdami suggest.

@amigau
Haven't tried the card you suggest...have always been a Blizzard fan for three reasons. First of all, the possibilty to add a scsi controller later on if you need one (not on the BPPC cards though :-(). Second, because of the MapRom feature set by a jumper. Third, because you can disable the whole card by holding down a key during reboot.
