- After 3+ months of waiting, my CyberVision 64 card arrived yesterday.
- I've installed it in my 3000/25. When I boot up now, all I ever see
- is the "CyberGraphX" logo in full color in the middle of my screen.
- It seems like the system finishes booting (all the right noises and
- hard drive light flashes occur for the right amount of time), but
- there is never a workbench display shown. If I blindly move and
- click the mouse, I can see corresponding hard drive activity (the
- light flashes) as I open up drawers, etc. So the system is up, but
- I'm getting no display beyond the CyberGraphX logo.
-
- I have connected the pass-thru cable supplied between the 31KHz
- output of the Amiga deinterlacer and the input port of the CV64 card,
- then connected my vanilla SVGA monitor to the output port on the
- card. If I move the CyberVision monitor file from devs/monitors so
- it can't be found at startup, I still get my usual output to the
- screen from the Amiga, as I should. I've reinstalled the software
- (it REQUIRES Multiview, it seems), and picked a monitor setup with a
- scan rate at or less than the max my monitor can do.
-
- The Buster is -07, and I've tried the slow buster mode, tried the
- 75-ohm terminator jumpers, although since I get a display of the logo
- OK, that shouldn't have been the problem anyway.
-
- This has to be something simple. What have I missed?
-
- Also, I didn't see anything in the manual that explained the RAM
- setup on the board. I'm assuming that the 4 soldered-in chips
- comprise the first 2MB, and the sockets next to them are for the 2nd
- 2MB. If so, I'm in trouble because I ordered the 4MB version and
- the sockets are empty. Thanks for any assistance.
