That sounds bad to me. I am using an A2000 with PicassoII and OS3.5 too,
and it works. I'm using Picasso96 version 2.0.
Well, install the Picasso card in the first slot, just beneath the
accelerator-card.
The remove all Picasso96 files:
-the monitorfile in devs:monitors
-the picasso96setting in devs:
-the picassolibs in libs:picasso96
-the env-variables in envarc:picasso96
-the Picasso96-directory in sys:picasso96 ??
The download the newest Picasso96.lha (I think its 2.0) from AMINET.
Install it, and it should work, if your card is OK.
