A600 built from spares! 1.5mb/good working mobo 37,350 Rom
Hi,
I've put together an A600 from spare parts I had here which I'm selling for £30 + P&P or will swap for something else interesting. Items that I need right now are a Socket AM2 Motherboard and a 4 Way buffered IDE for A1200 but I'm open to suggestions as always.
The Motherboard is in good working order, Video and sound are nice and clear. It has the 37,350 Rom which is the one you want for using a HDD/CF card.
There is an A601 that I inherited in an A600 from Scrappysphinx but it only shows up 512k and some games I tested wouldn't load with this Ram enabled, probably a ram conflict like I remember from back in the days but I can't say 100% this ram board is OK. As is it gives 1.5mb Chip Ram inc the on board.
Floppy drive is working, I ran a disk cleaner through and tested some games & loading workbench. I also tested the IDE port with a CF card (this is NOT included)
It could do with some TLC, as you can see in the pics there were some holes cut in the case, behind the stickers are VGA hols IIRC and the USB ones on the side, the case clips are all broken on this one and there are a couple of keys missing and IIRC some needed a firm press. There are a couple of screws missing, I'll try and replace these before it's sent.
If you don't care about cosmetics and just want a working unit for the kids to abuse, this is for you or a decent motherboard as a project base then it's ideal.
