Let us know what the problem was.  This seems to be a common problem with the CSPPC.  I hope mine never does it.  Unless of course in fixing in Amiga Centre can increase the RAM capacity  :-D


That sounds like a doable project for some genius Amiga user/owner!  I wonder what the limitation is that keeps the CSPPC from being able to use SIMMs greater than 128mb?  The Blizzard board can take 256mb SIMM, or am I wrong and does the Blizzard board have 128mb on the accelerator and another 128mb on the SCSI module?  I have never had one, or even seen one.

All said and done, it should be possible for the right person to modify the CSPPC to recognize more than 128mb.  Yes? or No? :idea:

It's most likely a limitation of the RAM controller and not really feasible to do.
I'm guessing what would be easier would be if someone knew the pinout of the expansion connector, and building a RAM card for it.


You mean the expansion connector that the CyberVision uses?

Yep!  I've thought for a long time about building a RAM card for it, but, well, if you saw all the projects I am already in the middle of... :crazy:


I have 2 CyberVision cards occupying that connector.  How does the Blizzard card recognize 256mb?
