exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Hi all.
I just want to check up on what the minimum requirements for TF-1230 are? It seems as my card can not detect the ram and the card is not detected in the expansion board list in the kickstart boot menu. Can the issue be, that I am using Kick 3.0?

I know that 3.0 is really old, however I just need to check up and ask, before I run out and buy kick 3.1/3.1.4/3.2 for my Amiga instead of sending the card back for tests.

Its all the same as the TF1260.. Kick 3.1.

May I ask if you build it yourself or have you bought it?

Ahhh.... Nice. That is why I can't see it. I had an idea that it might be were my issue is buried in the system. :D
So Kick 3.1 minimum and not 3.0 then! Is it related to autoconfig stuff? If so, why?

Sorry for asking such a deep question. I am just hungry for information at this point, if someone else run into the same as I.

Ohh... I bought it on Amigastore. I just dont see any note there, as to what the minimum requirement are.
That is why I am asking so directly about the kickstart requirements on this forum.
I did write them a message, asking about why my issue might be. But they are really slow to answer.

Can I ask why you didnt ask the person who built your card? this information should have been supplied.

I did write Amigastore.eu through their website, because I can not find any information on the product page.
Or it is just me, who are too stupid to read it through. But I don't think it is written in bold or underlined.

If I have overlooked the information, then I apologise deeply for turning to exxoss forum and asking.

That is the issue, people who sell those cards should provide more detail about the card itself, how to configure it, what limitations are.
They got design and licence to build it for free, they could at least prepare user guide.

The support from Amigastore is virtually nonexistent... but you know, you can always go to one of the local builders here who will be happy to offer all of that and more.

Yup.... Communication, communication and info. That is the what they need to do. For me, it is not a big deal sourcing kick 3.1 or newer. But it just takes some time to get them roms on hand. You know shipping time and all that. I know what I need to look for now.

I have just gone through their website once more, and the only mention of kickstart is about one that are modded and then the usual "you need legit kick... yadda yadda.... when running OS 3.2" :) and yes. Of course I do it legit. :)
