I finally have my VooDoo 3000 graphics card working on my Amiga 1200.

The reason I had trouble getting it to work was:

(a) The manual suggests that for my Blizzard, the config jumper on the Mediator should be open. This causes this computer to not boot fully. However, it turns out that the jumper needs to be closed, as everything functions correctly then.

With the jumper closed, the machine boots up fine and in Picasso96Mode prefs I can get a test card from the voodoo.

(b) This didn't solve the problem of the VooDoo modes not showing up in the Screenmode prefs.

The problem here was that in the VooDoo driver, someone (either myself or Rob from LAG who helped set it up) made a typo and put Picasso966 rather than Picasso96.


Anyway, all the graphics are working nicely now. I just have to set up the Network card, sound card and IDE devices as I managed to fry my buffered IDE interface last year (I expect it will be fixable.)

It is much better having millions of colours and high resolutions. Graphics are also much faster as well.

Pictures to follow.
