Have you tried different Zorro slots? Or different card combinations? Had no problem using this card on a A4000 setup.

I tried exactly what you say…

Ive put this now in my another Amiga 2000 , rev.4.4 with 0,5 chip agnus and…. Everything working….
Yesterday i tried on my 3rd Amiga 2000 with rev.4 and that work normally….

Im wondering why not with rev.6 and my Ripple Ide card.

On another Amiga’s this memory worked with two anothers Ide card: Ripple ide and At bus clone…

Now im waiting for Ide68K + 8 mb fast ram with relocator from Amigastore.eu and im wondering how this will be working…
