Blizzard 1230 MK4 = PCMCIA unfriendly?
« on: October 09, 2010, 11:29:42 PM »
Hello Fellow Amiga fans!

Ive got a problem with my Blizzard 1230 mk4 card.

It seems my pcmcia port doesnt work when the blizzard card is installed in my A1200.

When i remove the card and restart the A1200 the pcmcia port works fine. / also with my other expansion, a blizzard 1200/4, the pcmcia port also works fine. Im talking about a PCMCIA2CF card with a 1gb CF card.

The blizzard 1230 mk4 has an FPU and uses 64mb 60 ns ram.
The A1200 is a Amiga Technologies version with 3.1 roms.

Does anyone have a clue why a supposed pcmcia friendly Blizzard card doesn' t want to be pcmcia friendly on my system? Do i need to apply a patch? I also tried to enable maprom jumper and switched the 60/70 ns jumper with no results.

I'm not sure if everyone else here has already solved your problem, but if I were you I would check your Startup-Sequence and see if you have these two commands added:

http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/CardPatch
http://aminet.net/package/util/boot/CardReset

If you don't have them already, install them and try. Also make sure you're not already running some sort of patch that you may have used with your old accelerator card, perhaps a patch that reduces RAM to 4MB when the PCMCIA slot is in use or something. If something like "MagicMem" is there, remove it (or put a  ;  in front of the command to disable it) and try booting.





Thanks i will try using these. I' ll also check for some sort of " magicmem" line in the Startup sequence. Although i dont think its messed up or something since i use quite a fresh install of ClassicWB ADVSP, and i didnt apply any startup sequence editing patches yet. I hope this Cardpatch/reset tool will work!
