a4000 and no amiga monitor

Err, you mean you didn't the the Silver 23 pin to 15 pin video dongle? What monitor is it? 1084? 1942?

I mean you could go to the Early Boot Menu and try to boot from OCS/ECS.  I mean that's not if the Lisa chip isn't hurt at all.  After that I would try making a disk with all the cybervision drivers and a special startup on the disk. yeah that would be overkill.

Ahh that's just simple.  You hold the two mouse Buttons down while the machine powers up.

I would use that 15kHz monitor because I'm not sure about your Sun monitor, but I have a Sun GDM-20e20 (yeah it's a Sony rebadged Trinton) and it doesn't like syncing down that low.

Just watch to see if any of the diagnostic colors are popping up too

Light Grey, you test passed

Red, You have a ROM error or something probably got loose

Green, Chip Ram error, those SIMMS like to work themselves loose sometimes

Blue, Custome Chip error, just resocket them

Yahoo, some kinda software error, or other things two

Yeah, make sure you are booting in a friendly resolution 640x200 should be nice when you are installing that Cybervision 64.

i have a ton of disks and want to find out that fits best.
i have 4 72gb scsi 2 146gb scsi, 2 80gb ide, laying around
my sun system has 3tb of network storage so, this is just for my amiga if needed

 :-o  Wow, that's a crap load of big SCSI drives. I'm sure a lot of use would just love to have even half a terabyte let alone a render farm array.  My suggestion since you have access to some big guns like that is check the version of your Buster chip.  If it's Buster-11 we are cool. If it's Buster-9 we might have some problems.

Get you a scsi card like the FastLane, A4091 or if you feel like you have a big enough wallet get you Phase 5's Cyberstorm PowerPC accelarator.  Not only will you have the rough and tough real of a SCSI UW connection, you will kick a wickedly fast 68060 and a PPC to tear something up.
