Hello Jens, some good news today, I received my Cloanto kickstart and workbench disk today, so I tested it for starting. The behavior is as follow, when I boot the computer without disk, I have a black screen, I then insert the kickstart disk that loads correctly, when it ask for the workbench disk, then I see the workbench disk on screen, the ECS is working correctly. So has you said, it's probably a timing issue at startup between the A1000 and ECS board, it is resolved when the A1000 resets to Workbench screen. I am very happy, because the quality difference for the screen is tremendous between a simple upscale and the ECS, you really enjoy the difference. Thanks for your help and patience.
The fact that I don't see the kickstart disk at start is a very minor issue for me because at some time I will upgrade to another type of kickstart...

Hello Jens, I tried your proposition, computer is well restarting after CTRL-A-A, but still no image on the ECS...

Hello,
No, it was 'out of the box', because for the moment i'am even still waiting for my Kickstart,Workbench disk that I purchased by Cloanto...

and some others...
The kickstart screen is taken from the composite output of the A1000, the black screen is the VGA output of the ECS (P.S. the composite picture goes trough an external VGA upscaler so I know the screen works...)

Yes of course, you can find the pictures in attachments

Hi Jens,
I already tried also this configuration, and tried again today, when Denise chip is socketed, I have a good kickstart hand screen if I check on the normal output, but still nothing on the db15 ECS output, it remains black. (P.S. when I talk about the normal output, it's the composite output linked to an external upscale, so I know the vga entry of my lcd screen works...)

Hello JENS, i have the same problem with my brand new ECS, but it's on an Amiga 1000, with the proper paula socket extension, when I boot with paula seated on the expansion socket and Denise, it boots correctly to the kickstart disk image, but when I pullout the Denise chip, and seat the ECS into the paula expansion, screen is grey then turns black when it should display the kickstart hand. The problem is that I have no rescue disk, and even with one, I have to first play a kickstart disk blindly then the rescue disk wish seems problematic for me...
Do i have to resend you the ECS board ?
Thanks for your information .
