Why? Is there something wrong with it? :whistle:
I did not get a copy of the adapter from Ed as I have been sick. It appears I have a case of flu.... In the middle of the Summer. Yay :mad: I will get the design and I will copy it out and see if I cannot make a file to upload here in the photo booth so anyone that wants to make an adapter can.
Not any more :)Quote:

Those are just probably updated boot roms, A1000's converted to use a kick will have 4 eproms installed, if my memory is still good you'll notice two empty spots for eproms near those two. They'll be populated as well with 27512's, another common hack from that era was to piggyback the rams onboard and make the A1000 have 1mb of ram 512k chip and 512k bogo..Quote:

Dunno about the PAL machines, but having NTSC A1000's i know it's a color signal. Plus you can connect the audio out with a pair of additional rca cables to your hi-fi and enjoy the start-up sound that only the A1000 does! :-)
Hope you have fun with your first miggy :thumbsup:
Money for #3 sent :-)
I was looking at that as I took the machine apart last night. Turns out I have a video converter that should work, although I'll have to wait for the weekend. Thanks for the advice!Quote:

I do see a spot where sockets could be on the silkscreen, but there is nothing there, so I don't know where 4 eeprom chips could go. But thank you for telling me about it. I don't really know that much about the A1000.
