Blizzard 030 IV 50mHZ Setup
« on: January 24, 2011, 09:54:19 AM »
Hi All,

I've just placed my Blizzard card into my a1200 for the first time..

Its detected as a Unknown card.  I guess I need to add the Blizz drivers to startup sequence or something like that?

Using WB 3.1 fresh install.

Quick point in the right direction very much appreciated.

It shouldnt require any drivers. Should be as simple as plugging it it. It's been a loooong time since I had my blizz mk4 '030 though (although coincidently Im hoping to get one again very shortly), so I cant really offer any advice. Does it work though, despite the card being detected as unknown ?

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

When you say "detected as a Unknown card", how/where are you 'looking' at the card within Workbench?

If you have a copy of good old SysInfo, you can run that and let us know what it says...

It should show that you're running a 68030...

Cheers,

Mike.

Opps realised now it says 030.

It does have a line of

"Board + RAM (HD?) (unidentified)  Prod 8512/  (some system addresses etc..) "

I think that's fine... It's not like Windows, where the system 'knows' just about every manufacturer or product ID :-)

I suggest making sure the RAM is showing up correctly in Workbench and that the system is running correctly (no strange lock-ups or such things).

Sounds like it's okay so far...

Cheers,

Mike.

Just use Showconfig within Workbench or just grab Sysinfo from Aminet and load that.
Sysinfo will show you everything, including speed of the FPU, if that is present on the card.
