PPC equipped miggies

[Lemmink]

Hi Lemmink

i've noticed your "CSPPC 233/060 probably broken PPC".

Which behaviour has the card?

Only the PPC doesn't works?

How it happened?

Well the System startsup well with the card, SCSI works fine even a CVPPC isn`t makeing any problems.
Starting simple 68k programms (like desktoptools) is no problem, more complex thing like "real" programms don`t work (no crashes, it`s just that nothing happens when you doubleclick the programmicon), Starting PPC-programms results in absolut no reaction. I have used a copy of my current sys partiton to test the card.
I hadn`t time to give set up a system from scratch to see what is really up with the card.
On the subject how I happend I can`t say much. I bought it used and the former owner told me the machine works well, he just formated the drive so he didn`t have any PPC-Programms to show me it works. As I picked up the sytem im person and talked to the guy he belived him as he seemed totally trustworthy. After I loaded teh machine into my car he told me that he actually never managed to run any WarpOS Programms, only PowerUP. I thought, well he just had not the patient to fiddle around with it.
Then he told me that he once send in the whole sytem A4000 Mobo, Picasso II and PPC-card and got it reworked.
The A4000 mobo actes strange too, it refuses to boot up with an MKII but happyly accepts the PPC-card or the original 030 card.
