Still working when you got home? knock on wood... :)

@CSixx, that's curious. Is there any difference to the slots really? One more important than the other? Or is it just the way DMA looked at the cards?

EDIT - Oh well you did say DMA, I see.


@TheGoose,

No, I haven't rebooted it since then. It did work once though so that means it works right?. :)

OK, I was wrong on this!. After further testing my 16mhz 030 Amiga 3000 will not see zorro cards with a Buster 11 installed!. I'm going to put my Buster 07 back in and confirm this...

I just put a Buster 11 in my 16mhz Amiga 3000 and it works just fine?. I haven't done any heavy testing yet but it booted right up.

Same here. I bought a Buster 11 for my A3000 not knowing about the 16 MHz issue and lost the ability to see Zorro cards. I put back the Buster 9 and have had no problems with a phase5 Fastlane Z3 (although I only use it for the memory, not for the SCSI).

Why don't you guys with 16 MHz A3000's just over-clock them to 20 MHz? I had no problems with Super Buster rev 11 when my A3000 motherboard was running @ 20 MHz! You might be surprised to find they may even run at 25 MHz!

Why is it that ZorRam owners always talk about the quantity of their memory and not the speed of their memory? (not much to say I guess).

The two 16 MHz A3000 I 'upgraded' (swapped oscillator and changed jumper settings) ran fine right away.

ZorRAM is the fastest you can get with Z3 RAM - somewhat slower than onboard but faster than DKB and Fastlane. Your best bet is an accelerator with RAM which will be way faster.

Because too much ram is always better than not enough ram,even if it is slower In daily use you dont even notice

has anyone compared the remapped radeon ram to the zorams z3 ram for speed?
I would think the zoram should win.
