Buddha flash phoenix edition

[Fester]

I just connected a Buddha Flash Phoenix Edition to a bare bones Amiga 2000. I inserted it in a Zorro slot with components facing the disk drives.

1. All I get is a white screen.

2. The disk drives don't light up.

3. Same problem if I disconnect the HD and just leave the board in the Zorro slot.

4. When I remove the board from the Amiga, it boots from floppy again.

5. Does this board require that the OS be installed on the HD first?

6. And yes, there's a jumper on that board. Anybody know what that's for?

Has anyone had this problem? Is my Buddha dead?

Well,

Just having the Buddha card in a Zorro slot kept my Amiga 2000 from booting. This is a Rev 4.4 motherboard.

I just installed the Buddha in another 2000 (rev. 6.1) and it recognized my new hard drives just fine.

Not sure what the problem was with the older mb.

I'll keep your notes in mind when I try to hook up a CD drive.

Fester, I should have mentioned I also have a newer revision motherboard.  Mine is a 6.0. I hope the cd info helps.  By the way, any suggestions about my compatibility issues? :-(

Not at the moment. I'm very new to the Buddha. Just installed mine for the first time yesterday. I might be playing around with a DC drive today or soon...
