  • Just bought aca1221lc for my amiga1200. Installed it on amiga, added RTC on accelerator. Jumper on parking.
    But Amiga shows only black screen after turning on.

    If hold left mouse button and turn on amiga, red screen appears for a second and then amiga boots to workbench as usual.

    ACAtool shows that the accelerator works normally.
    I'm new with accalerators and wiki not explains me how to use this accelerator and configure it.

    How I can boot amiga without holding LB?

  • This sounds like you haven't found the ACAtool documentation.

    I've seen this, but unfortunately it absolutely doesn't explain how to get started using and configuring the accelerator.


    ..so some setting is keeping the computer from starting. Just list what you've switched on, and we'll see what might cause this.

    I have no other add-ons for Amiga. Only bootable CF with WB.

    This is what I see when starting ACATool.

  • Try to un-tag the "set CPU speed" - it should start with "safe speed". Setting 14MHz is only required for certain games and should not be used in "everyday life". 20MHz will also do the trick if you want to slow down for power consumption.


    Just for statistics: What power supply are you using?

  • Try to remove the tool from startup-sequence - if you can make it work with the left mouse button, something is keeping the tool from proceeding.


    Do not press "save" in the tool after you have removed it from the startup-sequence.

  • Successfully booted from another HDD drive.

    So I looking what is wrong with my CF installation.

    In startup-sequence tool already disabled. (also lines of unsuccessful attempt to install the controller FastATA, currently this controller removed from board).

    But I noticed that the whole initialization in other script

  • Looks like you should contact those web8bits guys who supposedly created the installation you're using. Apart from that ATA3.driver, which most likely messes with the scsi.device of the system, I don't see anything suspicious, but then again, I don't have the Startup-Sequence2 file, and I have zero experience with the AGLaunch program (read about it for the first time now).

  • I finally find the conflicting lines in sequence.

    Code
    1. C:LoadModule LIBS:icon.librabry
    2. C:SetPatch QUIET

    This line just for new icons.

    How it can conflict with aca1221lc?

    What is going on when I hold left mouse button when I turning on amiga and see the red screen flash?

    While using fastmem 8mb I haven't seen such behavior.

    We're not the authors of icon-library. Since you're using LoadModule, this must be an "updated" version - please find out what version it is and contact the author(s). Only they can answer your question.
