apollo 1230 turbo not working

[Ilwrath]

if i'm in workbench and i put the card it, the picture freezes. if i restart with the board still in the miggy, then it simply freezes at the white/beige colour of the workbench screen.

Uhm....  Hmm....  There must be a translation error here.  You didn't insert the card while the Amiga was turned on and at Workbench, right?  (Please laugh and say I read that wrong.)

From the description, it sounds like a bad Apollo card.  There seem to be a rash of them lately.  (Someone recently sell out an old collection of warranty returns?)

Hmm.....  For future reference, the only slot on any Amiga that is hot-swappable (able to plug in while computer is turned on and not cause possible damage) is the PCMCIA slot on the side of the A600/1200.  (Several ports, such as USB also are, but generally, unless it's a PCMCIA card, you probably should shut the machine off before inserting or removing anything.)

Now, you can also see the replies to the other threads here on mis-behaving Apollos.  Power supplies, RAM on the Apollo, jumper settings, etc, could also be causing you problems, if you managed to escape hardware damage, this time.  ;-)
