Problems with BVision card

[Piru]

WhichAmiga tells me that it is a 603p 210MHz REV: 2.1 board.

whatever that means...

That's the PowerPC CPU revision, not BPPC revision. Use boardtype as decribed in the earlier post.

Anyhow, I have a first revision Phase5 BPPC and I've never seen issues with BVision.

Anyhow, my understanding was that rev0 would not work with GRex. I can't remember hearing about issues with BVision before.

But according to CLS 2086 it helped him to use the grex...

Uhm. I can only see CLS2086 talk about flashing the BPPC with the GRex flash update, not about using actual GRex hardware.

Anyhow, the GRex flash is the very latest flashupdate available, and thus has the latest 0x0 and ppc libraries. It also works with BVision, however, to my knowlege only CGX4 drivers handle the GRex flash properly.

To recap:

- Rev0 BPPC does work with BVision (well mine does at least)
- Rev0 BPPC does NOT work with GRex (the PCI expansion)
- Rev0 BPPC can be flashed with GRex flashupdate (but this requires CGX4)

i guess it would be bad to flash twice

Um, why?





PS. Could you use the normal quoting rather than the "code" quoting? code quoting doesn't do automagic formatting and it screws up the page layout with long lines.

@pyrre

Is it possible to use picasso drivers for bvision card?

What picasso drivers? (no)

@pyrre

Picasso96 has drivers for BVision now?

[Piru]

@pyrre

but then it is the task of getting my hands on a 400w AT psu

What's wrong with ATX?

@pyrre

I have not figured out how to make ATX work on my amiga

Well, just find the correct voltages.

The on/off switch should be connected between /PS_ON and GND.

PS. If you're doing any cold-run testing, remember to load the PSU. I usually connect some old HDD to one of the molex connectors.
