> Look
You are in Photo Booth. In the corner is a large bearded man, moaning in pleasure and looking like he is about to have a crisis of sorts.
> inventory
You have a shiny new Amiga 1000, just this morning arrived from Almaniac. Despite concerns of the seller about finding a suitable box, it arrived in packaging that would have withstood anything up to large tactical nuclear strike. As the combined might of DHL and ParcelForce can only muster small nuclear strike equivalence, it was immaculate.
> Post picture
You attempt to post a picture, but this is a text adventure. Use your imagination.
> hint
No time for that now. The gentleman - for lack of a better name - in the corner looks distressed at this thread.
> fit DJBase A1000 Kickstart adapter
Your previous attempts to fit the kickstart adapter were futile due to the strange configuration of your old, early PAL 1000 which had a daughterboard. You probably shouldn't do this.
> fit DJBase A1000 Kickstart adapter
I don't know how to fit the kickstart adapter
>Remove top from 1000
You carefully remove screws from the base, the front cover, the front ram expansion and remove the top. Keith raises an eyebrow and looks interested.
>Remove shielding
You continue your violation of the 1000. Keith grins.
>Remove motherboard
The motherboard is in your hands. Keith is sweating slightly and has a strange expression on his face.
>solder 28 pin DIL socket to U5R
Keith attacks you. His violence takes you by surprise.
>use flux.
Keith nods appreciatively, and bids you on your way.
>Solder 28 pin DIL socket to U5R
(removing solder blocking pcb mounting holes first)
You fit a 28 pin DIL socket to the motherboard position labelled EVEN 2nd.
>disconnect DAUGCAS pin 17.
You decide to disconnect the pin by unsoldering it, and bending it out the way should you ever decide to change your mind.
>Tin wire.
Keith attacks.
> USE FLUX WHENEVER SOLDERING
Keith nods appreciatively and bids you on your way.
> connect U3J pin 1 to kickstart adapter pin 1
Done
> cut w2 jumper
With what?
> with circuit board cutter thingy
Done
> cut w4 jumper
with what?
> don't be bloody awkward
Done
> Solder PAL DAUGCAS PIN 2 to adapter 4
You see a light at the end of the tunnel
> Solder PAL DAUGCAS PIN 9 to adaptor 3
Done. You feel confident that you have fitted your adapter.
> Check connections
You discover you soldered Pin1 of U1J instead of Pin1 of U3J. You correct your mistake, thanking your lucky stars that you didnt install it.
> Fit kickstart 2.04
Done
> Fit adaptor
Double checking connections, you gingerly fit the kickstart adapter into the new socket labelled EVEN 2nd and ODD 1st.
> Connect power and monitor
Shaking gently, you connect power and monitor to your Amiga 1000
> Power on.
You are greeted by a purple screen with an animation showing your Amiga wanting Workbench 2.04
> Do happy dance.
Happy dance done. Keith once again raises an eyebrow.
> power off
(Amiga 1000) Done. There is a slight increase in noise from the monitor as it fails to find a sync.
> fit Kickstart 3.1
You pry out kickstart 2.04 and fit kickstart 3.1.
> Power on
(amiga 1000)
You are treated to a LED that goes from dim to bright, and a screen that flashes purple strobing.
> power off
(amiga 1000)
done.
> curse
You curse. The bearded gentleman joins in.
> search internet for DJBASE 3.1 adapter
You find something interesting. Being the internet, the results are conflicting.
> search internet for kickstart pinout
You find something interesting. Being the internet, the results are conflicting.
> bend up pin 31 and connect to pin 21
(of kickstart chip)
Done.
> plug in kickstart and try again.
I do not understand.
> plug in kickstart
Done.
> power on
(amiga 1000)
You are treated to a beautiful display of an animated disk penetrating a disk drive. Keith smiles and resumes hunching over. The legend 40.63 is displayed on the screen.
A feeling of slight triumph washes over you. You are slightly elated.
> find beer.
A bottle of Roaring Meg is found.
> open beer, pour it and drink it.
You open the beer. into what?
> into glass
Posh.
> drink it.
You can't drink the glass
>drink beer
(from glass). Done. You decide now would be a good time to write a lengthy and slightly pointless post on Amibay photobooth describing, but not picturing, your success.
