Interesting, I managed to get access to one more A1000 and much to my surprise, the boards work on that machine, so something wonky must be going on with my 2 machines. This makes for an interesting mystery.

Black screen and yellow screen indicate issues with connectivity issues with the socket and the cpu. You can try bending pins VERY slightly to try to get a better connection, careful though, they are very brittle and won't take a lot of movement. Also, the round pins of the Fastmem board do not go as deep into the motherboard CPU socket as the flat CPU pins so they may not be maaking good contact. On one of my a500's i did have to replace the onboard CPU socket as every time i placed the fastmem board on it i could not get a clean connection. Normally the problem pins are pins 1 - 32 (right hand side, and don't forget also that there may be a capacitor preventing the board from pressing down all the way
The 2 pin wire is only for IDE and will not affect the RAM visible/working
For those wondering about which KS Rom's work with IDE, I can confirm 2.05 and 3.1 work perfectly with Kippers CF-IDE-RAM boards.
I'm working on an a500 compatible patched KS1.3 rom ATM but don't have it 100% working yet ... Stay tuned. :)
I was getting black screens, so I put some dabs of hot glue to secure the CPU socket and board, to ensure a solid connection. Since doing this, no black screens, all working fine.
New update. Remove memory upgrade and piggyback but still black screen and no floppy soundsQuote:

Then I put the board directly above the CPU socket not the side and it works

Then I put back my 1.5 memory upgrade with piggyback

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/25/de9u3u7y.jpg SysInfo reports it as slow ram
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/25/devetu2a.jpg speed test gives 1.04 instead of 1.28 with only kipper board, my 1.5 memory upgrade is "slow ram"
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/25/eperupyb.jpg All memory reported!!!
Conclusion so far: kipper memory upgrade =AAA!!!
The problem I had must be the upper CPU dock in riser card. But since I used the lower one all is ok. The Rf shield and case fit a little difficult and they apply a little press to the CPU but I think that will be ok.
I tried soft kicking 3.1 but with no luck at the moment. Some works on Winuae but none on real A500.
Thanks again kipper!!!

Oykas, you have the riser board around the wrong way, it's purpose is to move the expansion away from the keyboard so you can mount the keyboard correctly and close the case.
I know but as described in previous posts if set in the correct way gives black screen and a500 does not start. Maybe there is a problem to the relocation of the board pins...Quote:

Ah I just saw your other posts, looks like there is a defect in the riser board if it only works the way you have it.
I suggest you check the soldering on all the riser board pins and see if there is an incomplete or dry joint. If you can't find anything obvious I'd send it back to kipper for repair or replacement.
Will check tomorrow and report back!!! With Amiga "Every day is an adventure"!!!Quote:
