I've an ISA card on my AMIGA 3000.
I don't have the install disk for this card.
How can I check the state of this ISA card and his state (or proper functioning if possible, like "Expansion Board Diagnostic" on the EarlyStartup)?
Thanks you very much for your answers.


ISA slots aren't connected to the Amiga bus in any way so they just receive power from PSU. You'll need a bridgeboard to use them. GoldenGate2 allowed accesing some ISA cards. CBM bridgeboards allow using network cards from amiga side using etherbridge package from aminet.

It's not a bridgeboard, it's a FERAL EFFECT card. Yes, I think like you&Crumb: AMIGA can't see ISA card without bridgeboard !



I've the A2088XT but I don't think it will works with my FERAL EFFECT card (http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/feraleffect)...and I don't have the manual & install disk for this card (and nothing to controll through the serial port) :(


I don't know how the "Feral" serial cable will be or where could you find the software but with cbm A2088XT you should be able to use an ISA network card. It shouldn't interfere with "Feral" in any way.

Try asking this guy about the drivers but remember to upload them somewhere after you get them ;-) http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=1527
