ZZ9000 No longer shows up in Kickstart Menu

Bit_Image · September 9, 2025, 5:00am

On my A4000, my ZZ9000 has worked great ever since new, obtained nearly 1 year ago. However, the board suddenly does not display any ZZ9000 modes in preferences. IT also does not show up at all in the expansion board diagnostic menu for Kickstart 3.2.2 and displays a recoverable alert when booting to OS 3.2.2. I’ve reseated the card several times and tried a different daughterboard but no success. I’ve reach out to support several times but I get no response. How does anyone get support for the MNT hardware? Thanks

Hi, where did you reach out to support? Maybe we are overlooking an email address that doesn’t have a proper autoresponder to lead to https://support.mnt.re, so it would be good to know. In any case, sorry to hear about your issue and lets get it fixed.

Hello,

Thanks for your assistance. Over the last 10 days, I submitted the following reference numbers for assistance on this site 808, 815 and 824. Ive owned this ZZ9000 board for nearly 1 year and all the sudden it stopped working, its not even detectable through the kickstart expansion board diagnostic. My system consists of the following.

Amiga 4000 desktop

ZZ9000 without Networking, RAM or USB enabled

BFG9060 / 68060 Rev6

Kickstart / OS 3.2.2

Everything worked great from day one until it didnt, now I get a recoverable error when booting into workbench and no ZZ display modes are shown. Again, there is no mention of the card in the kickstart menu either. The micro USB card that came with the unit has been removed and reinstalled. I have tried all but the top slot of my Amiga and no slot is able to detect the card. I have another daughterboard and neither daughterboard is able to detect the ZZ9000. Please HELP!!! Thanks very much!

Can you show some close-up (macro) photos of the card, especially the ZYNQ module (the little board that is plugged into ZZ9000)? I’ve seen it come loose sometimes.
Also, can you please try a different (new) MicroSD card as well?
Does the white LED light up on the ZZ9000?
Does the scandoubler/native Amiga video passthrough work or no?

Hi, thanks for your attention. Here are the photos of the card along with a photo showing that the ZZ9900 is not detected. The native Amiga resolutions do output from the ZZ9900 just fine. Also, I tried another Micro USB card but it did not change the results.
