Hi all,
I have just started to upgrade my amiga 1200 desktop and I have purchased a phase 5 blizzard 030 which I have put in but when I turn the screen on the screen stays black and then sometimes flashes black/yellow.
Now when I take this card back out the machine kicks back in with the hdd booting back up to workbench 3.1 and all is good again...
If I take out the hdd and put the blizzard in then I can load workbench up from disk and it is showing the 64mb memory on the card correctly and also when I first turn on the amiga with both mouse buttons pressed it says that the card is working ok in the status screens etc...
Unfortunatly I do not have sysinfo or any means of transfering this across to run it so I do not know anything other than the memory works in it.
Now at first I thought that it might have been the power suppply as it turns out I have got a 25watt, weedy, psu but I have since sourced a Goliath psu and attatched it but the same thing happens! Works without the hdd powered and vice versa.
Now I am baffled and am turning to you all for a little bit of help. Anything would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance and I will try and answer your questions but please remember that I am new to this and am on a steep learning curve.
