I had very same issue with TF534 and Matzes Picasso 2 graphic card clone. It turned out one bus driver was defective (or just too slow) after replacing it graphic card works good and there are no artefacts anymore..

Bus driver on the A2000? What's the IC? I'll give it a try. What revision motherboard were you testing with?Quote:

Hi, if someone is interested, I have done some more tests about TF534 and buddhaide.
My config is an A2000 6.2 recapped with all the fix done, KS3.1.4 and AmigaOS3.1.4,GVP impact II 8MB with ide2scsi adapter and CF 16GB, gotek, Indivision ecs v2, tf534 with sd2ide and SD 32GB.
Because the ide on the TF, in my case, seems not 100% reliable, I tried to put a buddha ide into that configuration, but doesn't matter the zorro slot used or if I attach a real IDE hdd or CD or a very well working (on my A1200 or aca500plus) CF, the Buddha behave in a strange way making itself useless. Of course I tested the Buddha without the TF534 and it works great, and all the ide cables, when used, are not more than 25 cm. Because some other people seems to have the buddha working and the only difference with my configuration is just that they have the KS3.1, I decided to buy one and test it. Unfortunately, whit the KS3.1, the buddha ide works but not completely. The best that I aceived is that I can use only one port with only one device attached. The CF card worked fine, the dom was able to boot, but I can't have a master slave config on even a single ide port or 2 devices (one on the primary and one on the secondary). If I put an HDD or CF on one ide port and the dom on the other ide port, They works. If I put on one port an HDD or cf or anything else and on the other (because swapping the position of the ide device nothing chage) port another device or eve just the ide cable (this is the weirdest part), the amiga doesn't boot or if it boot it can find any device. SO, with the 3.1, for some reasons beyond my understanding, the buddha works at 30%.
I like to know the experience of the other people about that.
Thanks

I then replaced the ssd with a 4Gb CF card using an IDE to CF adapter (a few $ from ebay). I can remove the DOM. All works fine.
Can You guy's please try to run Your systems with caches disabled? The easiest way to try - is to close CDIS jumper near the CPU on the TF534 ( on some cards CDIS &MMUDIS jumpers are not populated since i thought these will never be used. In that case You need to solder a header in, and mount a jumper on it). Obe user said that GVP manual is saying if Agvp is in use with any accelerator caches need to be turned off, so we need to give it a try...
Hi, the problem is that even using a real hdd or a very good CF I got the same problem. It stuck or don't recognize the hdd or cf even if in the other port I plug just the ide cable without any devices attached. And I repeat, the Buddha works fine without the TF, just the GVP because I can't do anything with just 1MB.Quote:

Hi Viktor, sorry for the silly question, that suggestion to disable the cache on the TF if because the GVP? If this is the case I can simply remove the GVP and redo all the tests.Quote:

I've not tried that AdRam card - the only other card I tried is a Supra 6MB (supports up to 8MB) but that wouldn't work either. Looking for some sort of of 8MB RAM board that will play ball - maybe a Kipper2K board to stick in the old CPU slot? Shame they don't seem to be manufactured any more =/ TF534 is great though!!! Love it! If I could just get another 4 or 8MB in here somehow it would be perfect for me.
Yes, Kipper2k card will definitely work - Stephen has one of them, he tested it and reported as working.
However there is an important detail: as soon You add 24bit memory it behaves like a handbrake for the system, it slows whole system down so there is no advantage of 030 cpu with this additional memory..
Thanks! To be fair, I don't think there are any none AGA games that need more than the 6MB I have anyway? So maybe there's little point in worrying about adding another 8MB.Quote:
