IIRC, the Fast Z2 slots are the two below the white NuBus style Z4
connectors. Check the docs to see what you have enabled and that. Do Zorro
cards show up in Ealy Startup? Also just thought of this:

you may need to alter the auto config signals, there are some jumpers on the
Z4 bus. Try altering them.

You need this because an A1200 accelerator doesn't expect to give a
autoconfig output, which it needs to, otherwise no Z2 cards will set
themselves up.

Read the docs on that. There should be some jumpers

No - that's not the problem, scandoubler/flickerfixwer I mean :)
