Ok, no probs, you want the bits back bud?
you can keep em if you like, i only kept them as spares for testing machines i buy so i don't have to keep disconnecting my main machine
Ok well i appreciate it, im sure they'll come in handy.
If you ever need em back just holler :)
i still think the board needs some work after the roms were moved from board to board etc
What you mean Juv?

Telling someone theyre doing it wrong isnt helpful unless you say why, lol :lol:
from what i've read in this thread, A600 rom was plugged into the A1200 board and visa versa, you don't seem to be completely sure of the orientation, i have killed a mobo in the past by fitting the roms correctly, that's all i'm saying
cheers, JuvUK
@AmiNeo
I truly hate seeing this thread go on without resolve =(
I cannot promise anything - but I think I can help you out - however time is pretty damn pressed for me.
I have sevearly things to sort out and these would come first.
2x A1200 timing fixes - Blankstare
1x A600 2MB Chip Piggy Back - Juv
1x MiniMig - Arnljot
1x 030 track repair
2x A4000 motherboard repairs (caps and logic)- Juv UK / Me
3x A1200 motherboard recaps - ME
A2000 PSU rebuild - ME
A2000 Hybrid Build - ME (on hold - waiting components =()
*(Special suprise for TokyoRacer)*
If you can wait. then hit me up on PM, we can see what we can do on the cheap.
I think the only thing now is to make a good visual inspection of the board, checking for bent chip legs, traces of capacitor leaks, broken traces. especially checking the legs of chip at U4 (the one marked hp) in case of improper indivision installation in the past.
Other than that.. well another board I'd say
Oh an Zetr0 as I have you here, there is no need to send me that a500 zorro adaptor, I ordered one from tom with a different zorro card.
Cheers

With them not even initialising however i doubt it has changed anything either way.

For the record i wasnt stupid enough to put them in backwards or in the wrong pin holes... As far as im aware an EPROM shouldnt damage anything if its in the correct place even if the data is incompatable?

Hey Zetr0, I'd really appreciate that bud. let me check a few more places and if i get no joy i'll send you a PM.Quote:

Still, killing EPROMs is annoying and every ROM change is putting wear-and-tear on the ROM socket.Quote:
