Voodoo Banshee and RAMLIB guru
« on: November 13, 2006, 04:21:50 AM »
Following the instructions on installing a Voodoo (banshee) card in a mediator 4000 setup... Upon dealing with the newly created and renamed Voodoo monitor, I get a guru error with RAMLIB, #80000004. I'm unable to make the needed changes in Picasso96, nor am I able to boot with the monitor file in place (same error on boot). I'm able to boot again if I delete Voodoo from /devs/monitors.

Any suggestions?

A4000D, A3640 OC-36.3MHz, custom tower, Mediator A4000D. Diamond Banshee 16M, Indivision AGA 4000, GVP HC+8.

Mac Mini 1.5GHz, that might run MorphOS someday, when the fools who own it come to the realization that 30 minutes just isn\'t enough time to play with it enough to decide whether or not you like it enough to cough up $200.

 - Someone please design SOME kind of DIY accelerator for the A4000. :D -

I'm using a 400W ATX PSU, not likely a power problem. I'm reasonably certain the card works, tho I will test it out in my spare PC just to be sure. I'll try MCP as well.

Is anyone else out there using a Voodoo Banshee video card? I haven't gotten around to aquiring a Voodoo3/4/5 PCI card yet. They say the Banshees work. It's a Diamond Monster Fusion card.

Thanks for the tips!

[edit]
Tested card in PC, it works.

Ok, tested the video card in another box, it works fine... Amiga's PSU is 350W (not 400), but still plenty of power... Tried MCPRamlibPatch, didn't help.

Any other suggestions?

@bernie

The dtack patch worked... Now I just need to figure out the proper frequency combo to get the higher resolutions to work on my Hyundai Imagequest L72S LCD monitor. I've got 640x480 working, but the other resolutions give me "unsupported mode" errors (from the monitor).

It's getting there... Many thanks!
