Hi Fook42, I have an update. So, I put the starboard back in it's case, and hooked everything up, and now it appears that it is autoconfiguring. When I boot up, the title bar shows 2,469,776 kb of memory. Yea! So that means that the expansion is working. I guess by moving the pin headers on the...

Hi Fook42, I have both the upper and lower ram cards, so that means it is 2mb ram. There are three jumpers and all are set right. Where is the SysInfo program? Is it on the extras disk? Regards, Rob

Hi Group, Well, I took Fook42's advice. I re-seated the CPU chip and all the chips that are socketed. Then to check I hooked everything up and powered up the Amiga. Everything worked, so I shut it down and connected the Microbotics Starboard2 in the side expansion slot. This time everything...

Thanks Fook42. Say I was thinking, I may want to re-seat that CPU chip, in fact all the socketed chips on the motherboard. Also, I was thinking I should remove the circuitboard from the Microbotics Starboard2 Ram Expansion and insert it without the case into the computer's expansion slot. That...

Hi Group, I am the guy that posted a question about my Amiga 1000 and the fact the floppy drive was not working. I posted it not long ago. I am still working on it's problem. But to my surprise, another Amiga 1000 showed up on my local Craigslist. The machine I have was given to me by a friend...

Thanks DjCook! Yes, the power from the CMD board comes through a molex connector and via four wires, connects to four pins on the AmigaKit SCSI2SD board. The red wire is 5v and the yellow wire is 12v. The other two black wires are ground. On the SCSI drive that I am replacing, the 5v lead (red)...

HiGroup, Iordered the Amigakit SCSI2SD card version 5.1 last month as asolution to inconsistent booting on the SCSI hard drive in myCMD HD-200 external hard drive to my Commodore 128. I have a questionabout the Molex connector on the AmigaKit board which connects to thepower out molex...

Hi All, Hey, thanks for the time and effort, especially from you Fook42! So, I started the machine and the screen with the insert "Kickstart" is present. That's when I mistakenly inserted a "workbench" disk. So, it is user error. Again. I don't have a kickstart disk, but my friend does, so this...

Thanks for replying guys! So, I hooked it up and tried again. The Amiga 1000 starts up and goes directly to a white screen with the "Kickstart" request graphic. Also, the floppy drive is doing it's regular clicking sound while it waits for a disk to be inserted. I put a "Workbench 1.3" disk...

Hi Group, A friend of mine gave me an Amiga 1000 and we tested the floppy drive, but it does not work. It is an NTSC machine and when the Amiga boots and gets to the workbench insert screen, nothing happens. There is no mechanical sounds coming from the floppy drive. So, it looks like I need...

Hi Group, The title says it all. I acquired an Amiga 1000, but it does not have the keyboard. Please, if someone has one, let me know. Thanks in advance... gp_guy

Declaring interest in one, if they are still available... gp_guy

Hi Guys, I am looking for someone who can re-cap my Amiga 1200. I do not want to work with surface mount technology so I need it done by someone who knows what they are doing. Any suggestions? I can mail the circuitboard only, and I prefer to not send it international, to save on shiping costs...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know of a source or person that will recap my A1200 motherboard? I don't want to do it as my soldering work is limited to regular discrete component (Through-hole) work. I live in the USA and don't want to pay for shiping overseas if I can help it. Thanks in advance...

Thanks Lord_nelson! They are on back-order right now on Amiga Kit, but as soon as they are in, I'll snag one. Thanks again! Regards, Rob
