Since no one has responded, I'll offer a very lame reply.

I had this very same problem (Picasso96 not recognizing a newly installed Picasso II board) about 5 years ago.  I don't remember the solution, but there is one, mine works.  I should have recorded it somewhere.

It might have been something like: "move all exotic drivers (Super72, bdlNTSC, etc) except the essential video drivers (NTSC, Pal, PicassoII) from DEVS:Monitors/ back to SYS:Storage/Monitors and then reboot".  This seems right.

Some one here knows, they helped me through this.  Grin.,

I believe that's an essential step, maybe that will do it for him.  

My problem was deeper and more frustrating than that.  I read the manual.  When I selected "Attach to Board", the system would respond "Board not found!".

IIRC, there was something gluing my system exclusively to motherboard graphics when the OS came up.  I vaguely remember an incompatibility of Picasso II with the Super, the Euro, and the Dbl video drivers.  It seems that after I removed them, the system recognized the Picasso II.

My two cents.
