Help putting accellerator in my A1200
« on: May 05, 2006, 01:58:25 PM »
I just got a Blizzard 1260 with 64MB RAM from AmigiKit.com (Great company by the way) and I installed it last night but when I boot up I get a software error and the computer will never come up.  I tried removing the 64MB RAM and got the same error.  The computer boots up fine with the card removed.

I have an Amiga 1200 with 3.1 ROM's and 3.1 Workbench and a 4GB hard drive.  

Any help would be appreciated.  :)

I'm using an older more powerful A500 power supply.  I've purchased several A500 power supplies from Ebay to keep as spares.

I wish I had bought that Bigfoot that was on Ebay a short while back.

Ok, it's working like a charm!

In my haste to get my A1200 up and running with this great new card, I did not install the software from the floppy disk supplied by AmigaKit.com first.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.  Now it's playtime!  :)
