German Ebayer - amix68k

Hi Jimbo100,

I´ve received your both messages using eBay.
But I can´t answer you there, because eBay doesn´t allow that to me.  :-?
Maybe a preventing function of Spam...
And you didn´t tell me your eMail address in there.

Yes, I´ve sold a Picasso IV Card to amix68k. Art. No. : 180094694368  
I´ve got the card together with an Amiga 2000 and some other stuff like a network card (Ariadne), Harddisk and a Picasso II Card.
The only card that didn´t seemd work was the PIV.
For me it looked like the card wasn´s detected from the A2000 and the Picasso driver.
I remember a message that told a Picasso.resource wasn´t found. (or so ... )

The Picasso II worked fine, so I thought the Amiga itself was OK.

I was happpy, with the PII card and sold the PIV as DEFECT / use for spare parts, because I didn´t know if I´ve made something wrong.

NOW, I´ve bought a "new" PIV Card with FliFi / Scandoubler part and it works fine. It also works with the scandoubler part disconnected in my A2000.
That means that there is no error message like the card I´ve sold to amix68k.

So one thing I wonder is he said that "my" card works fine ...  :-o  

Your second post to me :
No, unfortunately I still don´t have the original photo I´ve made anymore. And I don´t know the serial number.

Best regards

Ok, I´m not that much into Amiga.
More into C64 stuff.

So I´ve tested now what I´ve had in my mind and posted here.
My A2000 has a 68060 processor card with 64mb.
Kick 3.1, OS 3.9 is installed on a 4gb SCSI harddisk.

A2000 users have to split the PIV card and use ribbon cables, because the connector for the video part is not close to the Zorro slots.
So it is easy to test a PIV without flifi / scandoubler part (dongle).
I´ve completely removed the ribbon cables and connected a low resolution monitor (CBM 1084S) to the 23pin onboard videoconnector and a VGA monitor to the PIV.
OS 3.9 starts fine on the VGA Monitor in high resolution.
Games using low resolution I could see on the 1084S.

Removing the PIV and starting OS3.9, the 1084S showed me a window : "Error loading PicassoIV.ressource"
That was exactly the same message that I´ve seen all the time with the card connected that I´ve sent to amix68k.

As I know an A2000 has a Zorro II bus and A4000 Zorro III. I really don´t know if my old card was jumpered in the right way.
I´ve tried some jumpers, but no effect.
