Hi,
in the beginning there was my Amiga 500 wirh a Blizzard Memory Turbo card and a Alfa power Disk and Ram expansion ( without Ram) All the time I thought, that the disk was brocken due to read errors.
After buying am Vampire I figured out that my motherboard was instable, even a more powerfull psu was not helping. System comes up, works for several seconds or minutes and crashes. So I bought a rev 6a. This Board is much more usable. Now I took a deep look into CPU socket of the rev 8a and figured out that same contact parts are really rusty. So I am afraid that this could be one reason for instability. Any ideas if cleaning would be possible or do I need to swap the socket?
Unfortunetly upload of a photo always failed...
Thanks a lot
