I have 128Mb of 60ns Ram on my 233 604e. it MUST be set to 70ns or the miggy will NOT install OS4.0 Classic. Nor will it boot once installed @ 70ns & then changed to 60ns.


I have the same CSPPC card and it boots fine irrespective of being set at 60ns, 70ns.

I have a 550W PSU feeding my A4KT which is more than enough juice. Chuck a 604e in a Desktop on it's standard 150W supply & forget being stable @ 60ns.


Again the 604e runs perfectly stable at 60ns in both my 4000D and A4KT.

The hotter the A4KD gets, the more crashes you see. I run 60ns ram timings on A4KT ram, PPC ram & Z3 Ram under OS3.9 without any issues what so ever. We know OS 4.0 uses a different memory addressing to previous OS'es, but then when you have to turn off your PPC's Memory management unit, you kinda realise that DMA, which Elbox never got right either, is gunno be a pile of trash.


I notice your signature suggests you might be running your 68k overclocked @ 80Mhz? I just ask because AFAIK overclocking the 68k also overclocks the CSPPC memory. I seem to recall this was the reason why when I sent a CSPPC to Amigacentre last year the maximum he could overclock safely to was 64Mhz, anymore caused stability problems whilst stressbenching under OS 3.9, OS4 and could break SCSI support.

Right now, I'm £60.00 lighter & have hardware that doesn't function correctly & Hyperion haven't even responded since my mail to them 7 days ago.


Maybe your not using your hardware as it was intended  :idea:
