yup.

thats easy to do though, as long as you have an original rom, and patch it yourself, i'm sure someone will burn it for you to an Eprom

---

Mate I've been trying to get a custom 1.3 flash rom from you for several months and have even sent you my patched rom file.

Take my money already god damn it! :p

If you need one done I can do it.

You then have a couple of choices, replace the cap with a new one or use wires to extend the legs of the caps so it can lay down.

Using the IDE68K and the fastmem board together on the CPU socket will cause the height to interfere with the case closing so an adapter should be used to relocate the board(s) to the back of the case.


Edit: i am in the process of building a combined 4mb/8mb/IDE board for the A500 it will require 2 jumpers and i am at the mailing off the design stage of the process. Providing i didn't mess up then i will offer it for sale. I am moving next month so i may not have time to finalise this till at least the end of October... I am heading South where the winters are only -35 deg C :)

Thanks for your reply. I'll get to it as soon as I get a chance.
BTW, great news about your new IDE board. Am I correct though in saying that it doesn't have a 40 PIN IDE header but it just has the CF slot? If it's just the CF slot I'll continue with what I have, but if it has a 40 PIN header as well then I might just wait until that's out.

Would the soldering on the IDE version be feasible for someone who ahs never soldered before?

I wouldn't attempt it without practice and a good soldering iron and tip. The pitch (gap between each pin is very small and is not easy to do. Below is a link of how i do it.

I think i misunderstood you, for the soldering of the 2 wires to the motherboard it is relatively easy so you should be ok

I was referring to the "there is a 2 wire header on the top left of the board that would be used to connect to the 2 required signals from the motherboard." part. That should be doable for someone new to soldering?

I have lots of new boards arriving Mon/Tues :)
