Cybervision 64 issues (or.. for the love of gawd doesn't anything work?!?!)

[icbrkr]

If it's not one thing with my A3000, it's another.

Installed a 2MB Cybervision64 card on my 3000.  It's detected, and it brings up the splash screen just fine.  I go to prefs, change it to any Cybervision mode, it works for about 10 seconds and gurus with a 8000 0004 7002268.  So far, I've tried:

Removing Visual Prefs, Magic WB, or any other patch in WBStartup

Removing other Zorro cards.

I set the jumper on the card to "older Buster" mode as I do not have a rev 11.

Ideas??

Which RTG system are you using? You might need to throw some ENV vars for your card.

[icbrkr]

None yet... I'm just using standard drivers that came with it.

Slapped in an older HD with 3.1 on it - works fine in there... an issue with 3.9 (or my 3.9?!)

With OS 3.9 and CybergraphX, you really need CyberGraphX v4 (see item #16 on this link). Picasso96 should also work under 3.9.

Sounds like a plan, however, the link is dead :/  I'll look around.

I just flushed my caches and tried the link again; it's working. ??

I'll just put the whole thing here:

http://www.gregdonner.org/os39faq/compatibility.html

And look at item #16. Maybe the #16 at the end threw your browser off.

@icbrkr:

Remove the CyberGraphX v2 installation completely (DEVS:Monitors/CV#?, LIBS:cyber#?, LIBS:cgx#?, ENVARC:cybergraphics) and then install the latest free CyberGraphX - v3. If that still doesnt make it stable, edit your S:Startup-Sequence and change "C:LoadWB" at the end to "C:LoadWB SIMPLEGELS".

Sorry, I meant the link to the download was bad, not the webpage itself

Patrik:  Going to try that.. thanks.

I ended up going Picasso 96 and the card works great on OS 3.9!

I'm glad to hear you got yours working. Mine, on the other hand, seems to have gone the way of the great byte in the sky.  :-(  Early-startup shows it as "working" but all I get are bus errors on a 3000 and a 4000. Makes me wonder if early-startup really tells me anything other than the card was able to auto-config.

Early-menu stating "card working" mearly means that basic communication between Zorro bus and the card is OK (e.g. device inserted, receives power, simple stuff like that). There could be a heap load of other problems which could still make the card non working even though the early-menu states the card is working, such as bad on-board memory, dead Gfx chip, bad traces, etc.

Thanks for the confirmation - that's what I figured. Looks to be bad on-board memory. Picasso96 and CybergraphX both give bus errors at the same addresses on both Amigas. Pity. Now I need to buy a replacement. Make that two... one for each Amiga.

@dnelsonfl:

Have you tried running the CV64 in slow buster mode?

@Patrik: Worked fine - thanks for the help.
