CyberStormPPC refuses to work

[Neo]

I've noticed that the memories on the CybPPC board are grouped as 1,3 and 2,4. (May be worth to consider)

Check that SCSI cable is attached and terminated correctly. If not the boot process sometimes takes (almost) forever.

Try to access the PPC boot menu. (I think it was the ESC key) Turn of all SCSI units that are not used. That will speed up booting considerable.

I would also check if there is some metalic grains stuck somewhere at the PPC board. (short circuits makes HW to behave strange) Had that problem on my PC, after finding that it worked fine afterwards.

Just checked. Removed all Simms but one on my PPC. It still booted! :-) No memory though.

If you refer to the grey to white flashes, then yes!
Also, the power led should go from dim to lit.
If your the power led goes lit atleast the 68k is working otherwise it's dim.

I use a CyberVisionPPC GFX board so I usually don't see the flashes but changed the cable to the Amiga VGA connector and there whey where. Very fast althought.

There are still a few things to check if it doesn't power up. Is the fan on the PPC alright. If not it may draw to much power so the Amiga can't boot. Happened to me! Also, check the motherboard switches again. If they are wrong things won't work to well. CPU clock may have to be set to INTERNAL. Has to on A3000, otherwise the MB CPU fries.

Last thing is to check that the 060 is seated properly in the socket. I can't come up with anything more unless the board has been modified to run at a higher speed.

It shouldn't be a conflict. You should atleast get a gury.
