Hi Jens

This is an alternative angle, work has limited pictures to night shots, if needed I can try with daylight on Saturday.

Hi Jens

I'm limited to a phone camera only, hopefully the attached is good enough to help with ideas

Andrew

I have a standard A1200 UK unit and a Goliath, the original psu a comfortable 3 amps and close to 23 Watts, the Goliath higher, I've tried these across the two systems with the same results, I also have an A500 UK PSU 4.5 amp unit which gives the same outcome, both systems okay with the Blizzard IV with any of the three PSU units, the ACA1233n only with 1 Meg slow ram, I tried to rule out as many potential issues as I could before posting but now I'm out of ideas.

Hi Jens

Perhaps how i explained has not helped, it was only after the issue started that i removed the card and fitted the Blizzard from my other system as I wanted to rule out any issues with the A1200 itself, edge connector, PSU etc. The system had sat on the same desk without problems for at least five to six months and has had regular use, showing no problems.

I've given the card a good look over and I don't see anything obvious in terms of damage but I'm very much unskilled in this department, if it's something I've inadvertently done early in it's installation then obviously any warranty would lapse and a repair would be chargeable, but i'm suprised it has run so long without showing even an intermitent fault, and i'm pretty careful with both the ACA and Blizzard whenever i'm handling them.

If possible i'd like to return for an expert opinion, I hope you can resolve as 2 Meg Chip is painful to return to

Andrew

Hi Jens

Thanks for the quick reply, using Amiga Test Kit (Keir Fraser) only the 2Meg Chip and 1Meg Slow Ram are listed as available and show no errors when the test option is run, sysinfo confirms the 69030 on the card as active but again ony 3 Meg total ram, my software talents are limited, running applications etc. is not a problem but I have little knowledege as to which registers to look for

The card has run completely fine for the last six months, it was only removed to allow testing with the Blizzard IV when the problem first appeared and I wanted to rule put a possible edge connector problem as that was my first thought, however the Blizzard IV runs fine on both systems,

Happy to try anything else or pack for repair?

Hi

Hoping on some help with my card, I'm the second owner of the card which was purchased originally in March 2019 directly from icomp.de

I have two A1200 systems one with a Blizzard IV and the second with the ACA1233n, they have both run perfectly until very recently with the ACA1233n starting to boot with only 1 Meg Slow ram, I have switched it between systems but get the same result on both, the Blizzard card also runs perfectly on both systems.

Kick 3.0 on system one and Kick 3.1.4 on the second system, clean install tried on both to rule out any rogue programs but still the same result.

Hope you can help

Andrew
