Buddha problem

[Darrin]

I hope you don't have the Buddha in upside down.  That can kill it.

I hope not, what's the correct orientation? I have the IDE headers facing the floppy drives.

It has been years since I used one in an A2000.  I used to swap it back and forth my A3000 and IIRC correctly, on one of the the card was "upside down" and I THINK it was the A2000 which means the IDE headers go towards the back.  Don't quote me on this, because it was a while ago!

I do remember there was a piece of paper in the box that gave the correct orientations for the different Amiga models.  I'm not at home, but I have the ADF of the Buddha install floppy on my hard drive and I've just looked at the manual on the disk...

There's pages and pages of info, but the install the hardware just mentions connecting drives and makes no mention of actually putting the card in a Zorro slot.

I've looked online for a picture of a Buddha actually installed in an A2000 and came up with squat.  Have a look for the piece of paper and perhaps someone here can confirm the orientation.

@ Darrin: I have absolutely no clue where I put that paper But from what I found in various forum posts I should have it installed the right way.

Anyway I will thoroughly test it in my A4000 again tomorrow with the same drives to rule out any possibility of the HW being at fault.

Components to the right (facing the PSU)?

[Darrin]

yes

So much for that idea.  

Puzzling if it works OK in your A4000...

[Darrin]

Well, as I'm trying to test the Buddha in an A4000 right now, anyone knows what's the correct orientation in an A4000 daughterboard?

Looking down from above, you should be able to see the components.
