Micronik Busboard woes

[lorddef]

So I have my amiga powering up through the connector on the micronic busboard, but still it's not functioning as it should.

With no accelerator I just get the red screen, and if I put my blizzard mkiv in it it just shows a black screen and does nothing.

So now I know I'm powering it correctly at least, but should it be red screening with no accelerator (I.e. does the Micronic bussboard need an accelerator to work)?

Anybody had this problem?

I'm using a powerflyer as well, should this be a problem?

My next step of action is to remove the powerflyer and give it a go, but something tells me its no use.

any suggestions?

the board is definately not shorting out, as I have covered the bottom of the board with tape to ensure this.

I actually found the right connector for the power on the busboard so I also doubt its the power, although I will check to see if all the connections are good.

So I'm guessing that your systems still get to the early boot menu without an accelerator installed?

Tried with my Powerflyer removed, exactly the same thing happens.

I may try one more time before I look for another zorro busboard, preferably a Micronic one.

mine is revision 5.43, it has 2 inactive PCI, 3 inactive ISA and 5 ZII slots.

I hope it isn't incompatible with my blizzard 030, that'd really piss me off.
