I had this problam with an A4000 with a Prometheus Card and Voodoo 3 Card using Picasso96 and updating the 68040.library to 46.5 (date 19/10/99) Size 86,276 Bytes slove this and all is now OK.

good luck Steve

I have a CV64 3D working in a A4000 with buster rev 9 and Cybergraphics V4. Are you able to try installing it on a clean install of workbench? I've never had any issues installing or unsing the card.

Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it
 
Ive tried 68040.library V44 but that didnt work either, so I will try V46 as per Steves comments
 
@RMK305
 
Yeah Ive tried clean installing it. WB doesnt take that long to install but man do I miss the imaging software like I have on the PC! LOL I think ive reinstalled 5 or 6 times now! :roflmao:
 
Ive also gone over every jumper on the motherboard and the CPU card to check they are all at default settings and they are. Id be gutted if I cant get this to work, I got it for next to nothing (it was part of a job lot of Amiga stuff) and its clean and white. Hope it not the card, although Ill know for sure when I get the A2000 KS3.1 ROM in a few days
 
Thanks again all

Tried the V46 library, no luck
 
Im going to clean install OS3 again cos its probably a bit mashed after all the library swapping and crashing.
 
Ill let you know how I get on

Next up I deleted the CVision64 monitor file that Cybergfx had left and installed the latest version of Picasso96 (all done at 15khz on a TV).

Make sure you are not selecting the cv64 when installing cgx: you want to select the cv64/3d.  The cv64 and the cv64/3d are two different cards and have different monitor drivers.

[Tajmaster]

LOL, yeah Im selecting the CV64/3D Im hoping that ROM arrives so I can try it in the A2000, its really bugging me know, Ive got an awful feeling that the card may be faulty

Ive got WB 3.1, does anyone know if I can install it on a machine with 3.0 ROMs? I want try installing 3.1 on the A4000 to see if it helps.

can you try the card in another big box amiga, even an A2000 with some fast ram should do to see if the card or the A4000 is to blame.

[Tajmaster]

Yep going to do that ASAP Ive got an A2000 with a Commodore 2630 accelerator, 2091 SCSI card and a retina GFX card but it has KS2.0 so Ive ordered WB & KS3.1 and as soon as it arrives Im going to put the CV64/3d in and test it via clean WB 3.1 install, Ill let you know how it goes, should be a day or two before it arrives

[Tajmaster]

Amigakit.com have some A4000 3.1 ROMs in stock!!! Ive ordered some to see if it fixes this issue. Will post my findings as soon as I have them

[Tajmaster]

Got the A2000 3.1 ROM today, Ill try install it tonight and update the thread BTW, I payed £15 for the 3.1 and OS3.1 disks, is that good? Or expensive? The A4000 ROM only was £34 at AmigaKit so Im guessing that its a good price?

That's a pretty good deal. KS 3.1 by itself typically runs $20 here in the states and I've seen the WB disks fetch anywhere from $10-$20.

Get CGX4 and use it instead of CGX3.

The manual says 3.x roms required...

I think my CV64/3D is duff
 
I got the 3.1 ROM for the A2000, clean installed WB (no patches) and installed CGX3 via the install disks that come with the card. It just freezes the computer right up as soon as the monitor driver is loaded.
 
I downloaded CGX3 and the exact same thing happens.
 
I clean installed WB again (no patches) and install P96 (downloaded from aminet). It crashes when starting the monitor driver too.
 
Im stumped I dunno why it says its working on the early startup menu but will not run in the OS on 2 different Amiga's on 2 different graphics subsystems :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:
 
Guess I need to contact the seller now, I hope he will refund it.
 
Thanks for the suggestions guys

[save2600]

Have you not tried P96 version 2.0 or CGX4 yet??

[Tajmaster]

I tried P96 v2.0 but I havent got CGX v4 to try it with. I would have throught that a well supported card like the CV64/3D wouldnt have a problem on 2 Amigas with no additional software or odd hardware plugged in other than a standard Commodore accelerator card (and a 2091 SCSI in the case of the A2000).
 
Reading the listing again it appears as if the seller never actually used it properly (as in installed drivers and put it up on a monitor), even though the listing states its in "good working condition". He says he has a PicassoIV and has "never needed to use it", with reference to the CV64/3D. He appears to have just looked at the early startup screen, which as I have said, shows it working.
 
I got it for £85 quid, I guess that is wasnt a bargain after all then eh :huh:
 
Anyway, Ive emailed the seller and hopefully he will either let me know what to do to make it work or give me a refund
