I get red screens on boot if my accelerator card isn't seated properly. Whether it's a power flow or data flow problem I don't know, but I suspect the power thing. Try wiggling things - that works for me.

I built a custom power connector for the Micronik A1200 busboard from two old AT power connectors (you know, the six pin kind). It appears that they can be cut down to the desired length with a sharp knife, and they fit snugly in the connector both ways. You'll have a two-part connector but who cares..

Also, I have some good news for anyone building this connector. Plugging it the wrong way does not seem to damage your setup (it just won't boot). Yeah, I tried it  :-D

Hmm... it's been too many years to remember correctly, but I had MicroniK 6860 rev 4.02 busboard and it had to be fixed for some Blizzard accelerator.. b1230-IV or b1260.. might have been b1260 though :) At least it didn't work when I just inserted the busboard to otherwise working system. I sent it to local dealer and they fixed it there, don't know better what they did, but after that it worked fine :)

Anyway I have used the busboard fine with powersupply through a1200 mobo's connector (with pc psu). Never had power to the busboard's connector... and I had around 4 zorro cards simultaneously and lots of other stuff too.

@pVC

Hey, my Micronik Z2 is rev 4.15 and it does not work when my BPPC is attached. I bought an X-surf 2 and now I can't use it with my BPPC unless I replace my zorro board.. what a bummer. I contacted Jens Schoenfeld about this, and he immediately fingered my Craptronik Z2 busboard as the culprit  :-)

It would be really cool to know what the fix for the board was. Who was the local dealer who operated on the board? Are they still in business?

Like Fry said in Futurama... "Fixit fixit fixit fixit! Fixit fixit fixit fixit!"

Well, that or someone sells me a more compatible busboard. You know you want to.
