Only if you promise to reinstate the coloured flashy boot bars as well!!!? :lol: :oops: :lol:

Maybe it's better to move the whole thing only to 288 so that there is no 2 version? And I tested in my 1D.1 and unfortunately it doesn't work :-(
I replaced kickstarts with the same ones as in operating 2B and the symptoms are as follows:
1.CF card connected to ide on the A1200 board => power LED brightens after the reset and finally the screen is black.
2.disconnected HDD controller on the disc => floppy drive is heard as it normally starts from the floppy disk but the screen is still black and after a while the monitor goes into standby floppy drive is ticking.
3. I disconnect TF1230 => Amiga starts to work normally by itself and Apollo1260 is ok too.
I wonder if this can be fixed somehow?

No because the 288 is twice the price of a 144 and price is everything with this card.

I found the reason for not working and already on 1D.1 it is ok.
1.damaged VGA adapter (unsoldered synchro pin)
2. It seems that when I have TF1230 connected, I cannot use long IDC tapes for the IDE controller on the motherboard.
I'm not bothering anymore and I'm finally going to play with the new turbo card :)
I will let you know when I detect any abnormal behavior.
Thank you for your help
P.S. I have already ordered Chip 144 on Ali ;-) I wonder what it will be and when it will be with me ....

A used pull if you're lucky, a relabelled QA reject if you're unlucky.

Not really ideal to build with one of those and report red herring issues back here on a card that is still in Beta.. :roll:

Pretty much agree.. dont use dodgy parts for a first build.

You're right, but I realized after some time that this chip may be suspicious because I had more of them and I bought some of them from another place. Only after some time did I realize that I had such a problem before.
I apologize for the trouble if I have upset someone.
And the fact that this ehide.device does not work for me now, when I connect the CF card to the FT1230 socket, do you think that the chip may also be fault?
I tried loadmodule ehide.device and it won't load, sysinfo doesn't show it in the list either.

Do you get an eror message when it is using LoadModule on bootup, what Amiga OS you using ? what partition size have you got on the CF card on the TF1230 IDE port

Boot without startup-sequence from DF0 drive:
Load module devs: ehide.device => system reboots without messages and reloads from floppy but ehide.device is not loaded in memory and no partitions mounted in system are visible.
I set up the partition with a small 200mb for testing and it will start normally in the controller from the motherboard. I have kickstart 3.1 but I have OS 3.2 installed.

It seems this CF Platinum 4GB card does not work in the controller in TF card. As I do the same but with the SD <=> IDE adapter it is visible normally.
