I had one of these cards ages ago.  I think it should autoconfig, regardless of being independent or mounted on the DataFlyer interface.  I don't remember if my revision was the same as yours, but it sure looks like it.  And mine definitely autoconfig'd.

My best guess is that the jumpers set in the picture you linked look correct, to me.  And if you're getting power in the card, that would also be likely correct.  

One thing I'd ask...  What ROM are you running in the Amiga, and does the card show up in the Amiga early startup or sysinfo?

KS1.3.  I don't see anything special or different than I normally do when booting.  What should I be seeing?

I don't have sysinfo immediately available, but I'll get it copied onto a disk that I can use.  No reason why I can't use that in 1.3, right?

"avail" shows only the base 512k. Booting all the way in WB1.3, also only shows the 512k.


The card didn't show a thing different when booting, as far as I remember.

KS1.3 should be fine.  It is what I used with that card.  I was just hopeful that you had KS 2.0 or up, so you could check the early startup menu.  (It wasn't introduced yet in 1.3....)  

If the board is functioning, but needs an addmem command, it should show up as something in sysinfo and give you the starting location.  If not, I'd have to assume it is a defective board, provided that you know your SIMMs are good.  (Do you know your SIMMs are good?  If not, I might try removing all but bank 0, and setting the jumpers to 2MB in 1MB SIMMs, and see if it recognizes then.  If not, swap a SIMM, etc...)
