- I think you're refering to the Cybervision card right ? Anyway, this
- card will indeed work, but you need to make sure you have the latest
- of the custom chips installed. Specifically you need the Super Buster
- rev 11 chip. I have a Picasso-II card running the latest CyberGFX software
- and it runs flawlessly, I can run a 256 color WB faster than a 16 color
- one. I'm also running a Oktagon 2008 SCSI card to handle my CD-ROM & ZIP
- drive, and have a A3640 accelerator card stuffed into it as well. To run
- the A3640 you'll need the WB3.1 ROM's, the latest Ramsey rev 7 & Super DMAC
- rev 4 chips. The Super DMAC update is to aleviate any heat related problems
- with the 040 chip as it sits right above Mr. DMAC and the older revs were
- a bit intolerant with overheating.
-
- There's a FAQ floating around on Aminet (or it might have been on the Amiga
- WEB page) about installing the A3640 & the needed jumper settings. If you
- can't find it and want it, send me EMail & I'll try to dig it up & EMail it
- back to you if you.
