I've begun to work onto this new version. :-)
 
Hi Franck,

As I waited for the Switcher, my A-500 died. Now i have a A-600. Can you give me Information how this Switcher could work in that?

The Information on first Page is not good for me to understand. Can u tell me how i realize the Reset Signal with that SMD soldered MC68000?

The second Prob is, i have a TurboCard ACA620 installed so how i could realize it to work.

Secondary question is: HAve you any Idea where i can install the Bootrom Card(in wich place is good for that)? Because the Case of A600 is very small.


Thanks a lot

Hi grobi,

Didn't you want the switcher for a CDTV?
In the first post, you'll find a link to an Installation manual in PDF.
For the Amiga 600, the wire must be soldered on one pad of R951B which is near PAULA IC.
There is the explanation of exactly where to solder the wire used to pick up the RESET signal and a picture to help you.

The ACA620 is plugged onto the 68000 and doesn't cover the Kickstart ROM socket. So, you have just to plug the socket of the switcher into the ROM socket of the A600 motherboard.
There is enough place to put the switcher near the back of the Amiga.

Best regards,
Franck
 
Hello. Normal A500 21 € version available? 2015 and 2016 shipping costs?

Hello,

For A500 -> Ribbon switcher -> 21€
As explain in the first post, interested members are added into the table and are contacted when their switcher(s) is (are) ready.
There is also a table for the shipping costs. The weight of a parcel for one switcher is under 100g.

Perhaps the shipping costs will change in 2016. Actually, I have no information.

Regards,
Franck
 
In 2014 the shipping cost Europe max. 100 g 5,20 €. In 2015 shipping cost?
In 2014 the price 21 €. In 2015, 2016 price?
Do you know LTAC? He does not answer for a long time. I cannot wait for 5-10-X days only onto the answer.

LTAC RAM chips + KS switcher with 1 shipping cost possible? France, France.

What are you speaking about?
I think that the first post is really enough clear.

I'm going to explain again:
- Price of the switcher in its Ribbon version: 21€ without shipping costs.
- Price of the shipping is for you (Europe) 5.20€ with track number for a package up to 100g or 12.15€ with register (and track number) for a package up to 250g.

This is not me but the French Post which fixes the amount for the shipping. Every new year, this amount changes little bit...

I don't know LTAC.

Seven Ribbon Switchers assembled and tested.
These switchers are for qq1975b (2 ribbon + 1 stand alone), cabissi (3 ribbon) and HIP440 (1 ribbon).
The last one is for Flare. I have to make a new one for him as he has asked for two pieces.

PMs will be sent this evening.

Hi Franck,

Thank you for the Help and the Tip for the link:-)

But i dont understand what did you mean with "enough place in the back"? Back where? near what? Sorry again but could you explain for me, the really best Place where you would install that switcher. Have you a tip for me maybe an idea ?

Thanks a lot

P.S. yes i wanted the CDTV version because i wanted to install the switcher on the shield of the A-500, but now my situation changed to A-600, so maybe it would better to take the normal ribbon version?
