In my previous posts (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) I have stated that i have problems running my BVision GFX card. And that I have done most modifications to get it to work. So far stating it to be HW problems since it crashes showing the 15kHZ modes (early startup menu and WB without Bootpic.library).

I must report a weird behavior, that has been since the BPPC was brand new.
At power on it does not start at first like the A1200 does without the BPPC inserted. It shows a black screen, and nothing happens. after power down and power up several times (5 times or more), then the computer boots up like normally... And runs fine (i guess) besides from the BVision not running.

Is this normal for the BPPC cards? (my guess is they should boot up emediately after power on...)


EDIT: I have checked the PSU and it delivers its powers like it should!

Er,just a short question:

Why do you started 5 threads according to the same problem? I mean: Couldn't you have just put on with your problem in one thread?

good question... I did not realize it was that many, before I now summered it up.. Got a bit amazed... (it is 6 now then...)

:-(

But to my defence, this really bothers me... A lot!
I want it to work, but don't know how...
And no one else seem to do either...
I have gotten some really great ideas, fixing some of the other problems I have had (among them the zip disk problem). And I am really thankful for the help i have gotten so far...

But this just bothers me... not knowing what to do or where to start looking for problems...

@pyrre

How many power attachments have you made to the A1200 with PPC card? You have a 040 based PPC card with SCSI controller, and if the PPC CPU is a 160 MHz one as well, you won't get it up and running nicely (booting at power up) unless you give the motherboard and accelerator some extra juice.

Two power feeds to the motherboard and one to the accelerator itself should cure a lot of the problems you are having.
