Alright! Glad you got it working. The entire time I used
my Picasso I ran CybergraphX. You might want to give it
a try. Several time's I tried to switch to P96, never
could make the switch sucessfully, eventually gave up and
stuck with CGFX. For me it was more stable, but I may
not have been as patient with it as I should've been
because other people have good luck with it. I'm not
sure if you can still register it (for a long time they
had a web site for this) but am pretty sure you can
still purchase it through dealers. Every version worked
better then the software that came with my PicassoII.

If I take only 2 Mb off the 030 card to leave 6 in total the system still seems to address 8MB.


Seems your accel card is an older one that addresses to ZorroII. As PicassoII takes 2 megs space, with 6 megs memory your 8 meg space is full. P96 doesn't work with segmented mode jumpered PicassoII. No other reason why P96 shouldn't work when Picasso original software works. But the original must be carefully removed before P96 is installed.

Thanks for the info. It is a older board. I am using P96 on several other 4000's and a 3000 amiga I have with Picasso IV's no problem. Might try P96 again.  When trying either software I have uninstalled - reinstalled all parts.

That's interesting as I have cybergraghics also - however have always had problems getting it working but have had no problems with P96 on the several Picasso IV's and the Cybervision 3D that I own in the various machines I have.The 2000 is a neat and immaculate machine I obtained recently to add to my collection along with several zorro II cards from another source. I thought a graphics card would be nice in it with 3.9 installed however it has certainly cause me a bit of grief. I also obtained a Golden Gate 486 board, 3 PC cards, and related stuff and thought it would be interesting to try to get this old stuff working in the 2000 as well as it has extra PC slots to fit everything in however I might give it a miss for a while - anyway thanks again - Chris
