The clk jumper is already at 040 so the memory clock is halved (?). I just disabled the fast ram altogether and still get the same behavior. I think I'll just wait until my BPPC (hopefully) gets fixed and sell the Apollo since I really have no use for two 060 boards anyway. I think I'll get Blizzard 1230 or something similar for my desktop A1200 instead, since it is better for gaming.

I know this thread is old, but I just can't help reporting the fix to this problem. Pretty simple: reintroduce the timing bugs. I just soldered 22pF caps to the empty pads and now this thing just works. Luckily I had not sold the Apollo yet - now running nice and smooth at 60MHz. :-)

Mikko.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm having the same problems.

The symptoms are checksum errors with a read hd, for CF the machine doesn't see any partitions in the early boot menu. However everything works fine if I remove the apollo, or plug in my 030 card. I don't think it's the memory as removing it doesn't help.

Did anybody find a solution to this, and what are these motherboard timing fixes that were mentioned. I've got a revision 1B board.

Many thanks
James
