Viper 030/28 RTC 8 mb issues

[ami_junki]

finally got back from the hospital today to plug in my viper 030/28 8mb into my a1200 however i am running into some technical problems.  with the jumpers set to 8mb the power light starts to flash, then i get a red screen and the power light start to flash brighter and faster until the screen resets in a flurry of white dots.  If i set the jumpers to a different position the machine boots with no fast ram though, it recognises the 030 and FPU and realtime clock.  could this be due to faulty ram?  cheers guys!

update:

managed to get the 8mb ram recognised yay!  now for another question, is there a patch anywhere which will allow me to use the pcmcia port with the viper?  i seem to remember there was one but i could be mistaken.

nice one, hmm i wonder what is up with it, heheh now it just failed on me again though, maybe i got a dud board.

thanks I will have a look at the pins, I cleaned the board connector and it seemed like the board recognised the fast ram after that.  i think it might be down to a flaky motherboard, it might be too old.

cheers!  can`t seem to get the pcmcia port to work with the card in though, i am using classic wb and installed the ADF kit from Amiga Kit and the Network card kit but when the card is in it still doesn`t see the PCMCIA card....
