Picasso II setting does not allow my A2000 to boot to OS3.9

Dear Amigaworld Support

I was in the process of tweaking my A2000 screen-mode prefs and ran into some graphic setting issues on my Picasso II card - which has now thrown my A2000 into a power recycle loop (machine is constantly booting). When I try and hold the 2 buttons on my mouse, I am unable to get to boot selection screen. I assume I may have selected a non-compatible screen setting on my Picasso Card but have no idea how to fix this issue. Any ideas what I should try?

Version 3.9 is obsolete and, in essence, not to be trusted. Please consider upgrading to AmigaOS 3.1.4, released just a few months ago. The upgrade is available from various retailers, including AmigaStore.eu. While you're at it, you may also want to upgrade your Picasso96 RTG software to version 2.3, also recently updated and available from Icomp (user account registration is necessary to view the product page). A fresh AmigaOS 3.1.4 and Picasso96 2.3 installation should provide a stable platform for your Amiga 2000.

More information about AmigaOS 3.1.4 can be found here. A list of recent changes to Picasso96 can be read here.

I am unable to see/find where to download Picasso96 RTG software to version 2.3 from the Icom Shop site?

Cool, didn't know v2.3 was available! Must be a very minor update as the product news checkbox is check marked and the wiki does still mention version 2.2

I'll update to the newer version soon.
Thanks Jens!

Consider swapping to CyberGfx 3 or 4,
It's way faster than P96, easier to use and has more functionality.

@pneron

If you are getting a reboot loop then that is out of the bounds of software. Does it happen on a cold boot? Any other cards that could cause an over drain of the power?

This is hard to fix if the hardware constantly does it. Does the P2 have NVRAM settings? Could be worth to reset them. Though you said it happened during setup which usually only saves driver settings for screen mode.

A trick that can work is to boot in OCS mode that can disable RTG modes. Of course you need the esarly menu for that. But you also need it to boot to do anything.

I thought I was reading an ad. I was looking for that report button. But since you are a genuine person and not a spam artist I won't do that. Plus I always tend to get rejected for whatever I report. So it would be pointless.

However, I wouldn't say OS3.9 is obsolete in place of OS3.1.4. OS3.1.4 is built off OS3.1 so would surely miss out on features. Also from my experience, both in seeing and reading about OS3.1.4 it looks a bit "dirty" to me. For example, nice icons, but they don't install with the OS. You are expected to copy them by hand I read. That's a bit of a step backwards.

Hypex is right, reboot loop doesn't sound software problem.

BUT if you have selected wrong screenmode, boot without startup-sequence, go to system:prefs/env/sys and delete screenmode prefs file. Path migh not be 100% accurate, but near enough.

With Picasso II card, Picasso 96 software is best choise.

OK, looks like i have found the intermittent graphic boot problems...I pulled out my Picasso II card today and noticed a blown resistor near one of the Sub HD 15 jacks....I was going to upload the image to see if anyone had a similar card because I can't see the resistor value.

Question #1 : How do I upload a jpeg image here?
Question # 2: Can anyone send me a pic of Picasso II card, version 1.6?

@Hypex

it only happens initially on a cold boot which requires a few soft-boots before I can get the system online. For example, today it took 3-4 times before I was online. I pulled out P card and pop all memory chips in their sockets as well.

As for power drain, nothing has change in my machine for 15 years...it has 1 P card, Inet225 and 3 Sunrize card for recording
