edit you start up sequence and add this line:
C:ACATune -maprom System:kick31.rom -z2cache on -fastchip on -cache on -burst on >NIL:
(assuming you want to soft kick to a 3.1 rom - i can't remember whether you need the roms in your system folder but i think maybe no as its a feature of the aca cards that they can map a rom)
Is there something else you planned to do with ACATune as you will need to install it on your hd

Thanks, I will try this in a few minutes. 
I am installing CWB Full (KS3.1) on an A1200 with KS3.0
My newly acquired ACA1231 need to have the ACATune in the startup-sequence to work.
I am not planning to fiddle with any other advanced setting as I'm a total AmigaDOS NOOB

You mean CWB OS 3.1 !
Ah congrats on managing to get hold of an aca1231
I know what you mean about editing start-up, i got kick 3.1 roms now so don't need to worry but it gave me a feeling of trepidation doing it last year
I used that command line and it worked fine (it resets and boots again each time from now onwards as you switch the amiga on but only adds 2-3 secs or so to loading up wb)
Why not push the boat out and move on to OS 3.9

Exactly! Been at this for hours, and got it mixed up in the confusion
Thanks
When I ordered it 3 weeks ago it was STOCK, but after placing my order, it suddenly wasn't. So I had to wait a few weeks and it arrived today. I have another A1200 with GVP1230 so I wasn't in desperate need anyway 
I have thought about it, as it looks really awesome, but again... I'm really only after gaming and as long as I don't have a 1260 I'll just stick to 3.1

OK, where exactly do I need to insert the line?
Since u use an ACA1231... anything but the cache or burst DOESN'T work by design so it's obsolete to put it.
The correct command would be this:
To be sure that everything works correctly just issue the following command from a CLI windows once your system boots into Workbench succesfully:
... and check if everything reports as it should

Code:
C:ACATune -maprom System:kick31.rom -cache on -burst on >NIL:To be sure that everything works correctly just issue the following command from a CLI windows once your system boots into Workbench succesfully:

Do you still need the patch rom? adding * after kickrom bit?
I use
"ACATune >NIL: -maprom ** p -cache on -burst on -chipcache on"
and I have the 3.1 ROMs installed.
"ACATune >NIL: -maprom ** p -cache on -burst on -chipcache on"
and I have the 3.1 ROMs installed.

Okay mfilos I have changed it to that.
Here is the status
I don't have a clue... I do have KS3.0
NO ACA doesn't have ROM pre-installed.
You don't need Kickstart 3.1 to see the memory, you just need the MapROM afaik.
From the screenshot, MapROM doesn't initialize, becase you just telling him to load an image from System: partition named kick31.rom (which certainly DOESN'T exist) alas the command fails.
Just replace the declaration with that...
... and report back with a screenshot of ACATune -status

yes i meant the ks 3.1 rom image. Looks like you will need the ks 3.1 rom image in your system folder
This is from the short manual:
"One MB is reserved for a copy of your Kickstart ROM: This can be made using the ACATune tool."
But again, I have no idea how to do thisicard
This can be made using the ACATune tool exactly as I told you. See my post above
