Buddha in Mediator possible?
« on: March 25, 2010, 06:38:40 PM »
Hi,
I recently bought a Buddha Flash Phoenix IDE controller with the intention to connect it through a Zorro slot of my Mediator 4000Di. I used the Install util on the floppy disk that came with the controller, but when I restart my Amiga the BuddhaSpeed complains that "No boards (were) found" - I assume it doesn't detect the Buddha. I tried all 3 Zorro slots of the Mediator (I'm not using any other Zorro cards).
I also have a Voodoo 3 and a fast ethernet PCI cards in the Mediator and they work fine (the rest of the system is in my sig).
Do you know what might be the problem? I assume it should be possible to use Buddha in Mediator, right? Thanks.

I mounted it according to the instructions - "In A3000/A4000 desktop computers, the components of the controller must face up", which they certainly do. I suppose the Zorro slots on Mediator have the same orientation as those on the original daughterboard - ie. they are not reversed, otherwise I would be pissed :)

OK, I'll try and test it with the original daughterboard. Thanks.

EDIT: nice post count :D

OK, so I've tested the Buddha with the original daughterboard and it works - BuddhaSpeed returns something like "Default timing: 7, Current timing: 0". So the problem definitely lies in the Mediator or the interaction between it and the Buddha. I tried reseating all the boards several times, tried all 3 slots and it's just not detecting the Buddha. Unfortunately I don't have any other Zorro boards here to test so I don't know if the problem is only with this card or universal. Any suggestions for what I can try to make it work?
