Yes I know this  :-)

But was making sure that the user with the problem was not getting confused with this and the amiga early startup screen

What other "benefits" does the rev2 BPPC have over rev0 instead of G-Rex -compatibility?

Fully functionally BVision.
My main goal at the time...
But i had BVision working smooth with my rev0 board, what's your problem there?

Could power problems be the issue with BVision when having a 68040 BPPC board? 040 draws quite a lot power. Does anyone know correct points to measure core voltages etc. on the BVision? I could possibly test with a BPPC 040 board if I get my other BPPC card working.

You can check on the floppy power plug on the board if the +5V are strong enough.

That doesn't necessarily mean that everything on the BVision is side fine.

Aww {bleep} I think my GREX is fried :( or others have an factory repaired version of BPPC that is still reporting to be a rev0 if possible. I just plugged in BVision and it showd up in the PCI menu :) :( for the GREX...

BTW should I be able to get boot pic of the BVision?

Only if you selected it when you installed the drivers

Souldn't it by default output 4 color RTG so that is would be possible to setup your system without having to PAL output?

ummm depends on the firmware version of your blizzard card as far as I remember.

Cant remember when this was implemented.  But you should be able to see the amiga or blizzard early boot up menu on a monitor connected to it, as long as 31hz output is set on in the blizzrd menu.

I have tried flashing with the G-Rex 1.3 flash update to see if I could get MorphOS to work on my setup, but after doing the flash update the BVision outputs exactly nada here with me. It works fine when going back to the latest pre G-Rex flash though.

AFAIK the 4-color RTG is only possible with a CyberStormPPC. You need a tv or a monitor@15Khz.
