Hi,

This is just typical, to put it lightly, in fact I am absolutely
seethingly furious.... :////

Imagine the scenario:

Everything you buy is basically broken in some way; that's me.
To give you a brief summary:

* Ateo K/B interface with tower - bust
* Kywalda - no good
* IDE buffered i/f no good
* cables - no good
* Ateo Bus - no good
* cd-rom drive - busted

and now, the pinnacle of what is really, ooooooh, i can't say but I am
EXTREMELY FURIOUS! :C I always buy something and there's something
damn well wrong! It's times like these when i think about throwing
all of my computers out the window and sod*ing the whole lot, Amigas,
Macs, PCs the lot...

This time, boys and girls, my Second Hand Blizzard PPC card is fubar.
Sorry for the language - but I am truly fedup.

Basically, in my A1200T which has an Ateo Bus, KS 3.0, WB 3.0, Pixel 64,
2 hard disks, 2 floppy drives, a cd-rom - the bloomin thing won't work...
:///

My problem: the memory i plug in is not recognised, and the memory is fine
because I have tested it in another A1200 accelerator; a Viper V on
another desktop A1200. It is 60ns type, Fast Page and EDO; good
quality because it is working fine.

I plug it in via the Ateo Bus 150pin edge connector, and all that I get
is no memory; therefore no PPC, but CPU shows there is a 68040 there.
Whooop deeee whooop; a 68040 that can't even perform properly
because of NO fast RAM, and to top it off, I had a faster 68040
before... :///

I try removing the Ateo Bus controller and plug directly to the 150pin
A1200 accelerator slot - no joy :-[=

Expansion Board Diagnostics shows no boards...

I have even tried the BPPC in an A1200 desktop, a seperate machine,
NOTHING :/

I have tried the installation of the stuff on the disk - and that
didn't seem to work either... :/

The A1200T is a rev. 1B
The A1200 desktop is a rev. 2B

Is my BlizPPC knackered??? ://

One interesting thing:

sometimes, okay a lot of the time when the BPPC is in the A1200T's acc.
edge connector (not the ateo pass thro') is that the screen is sometimes
corrupted...

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

Please please help, I'm totally fedup... :/

All the best,

Nick.
