Hi all, i recently purchased this M-TEC 68030 for the A500
http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/mtec530
I have tested the card in an A500+ and it seems to work fine. Sysinfo shows as a 68030 at 14mhz and the 4mbram is found added by AutoAddMem or the M-Tec install disk.
It was noted in a post on here that member Oozic got this particular card working in a CDTV which is my intended destination for it. I have de-soldered the power connectors and laid them 90 degree flat to the motherboard as they were getting in the way, i have also de-soldered the large capacitor and attached it with some wires so card now fits nicely and i can get the lid on however it doesn't work.
There are four jumpers on the board labelled
CDI
68K
MMU
HIGH
on the a500+ all jumpers are off and it works fine.
In the cdtv, with no jumpers on i get a quick flash of a grey screen followed by black screen with no signal on the tv.
I have tried all possible configurations of the jumpers and the only way i can get it to boot on the CDTV is when the CDI jumper is closed but i believes this is just disabling the card cause it boots as a 68000 and AutoAddMem finds no ram and the M-TEC installdisc gives a message in German that translates as No Turbocard Found.
Anyone have any tips here?
Thanks
