Ordered a kickstart switcher on 22 November 2016 and still waiting.
Send a PM to Tuxbar81 on 21 January 2018 to ask whats taking so long, still no answer.
When checking, he even don't read his mails.
Really sad seller, waiting about now for 15 months and still no sight of delivery or even an answer!!!
WITHDRAW my order, don't need it anymore. Have bought a other kickstart switcher for 15 euro witch works great en was delivered in a couple of days (not years!!!!).
This seller can't be taken seriously, I advice to anyone to look for alternatives.
These are cheaper and you really get it in a decent time!!!

Very disappointed in you Tuxbar81, there is no excuse for such behavior!

I am interested in two units for

"Ribbon version". A little ribbon-PCB is plugged into the ROM socket of the Amiga. Price: 21€
The Kickstart Switcher is connected to the ribbon-PCB via a 40 wires ribbon.


Please add me to the list and send me a PM when they are ready and you need payment.

This is an embarrassing question - anyone who has a switcher already for the Amiga 500... How do I determine which pin on the CPU is pin 18? I can't see the pin numbering on the motherboard, I'm not sure where to count from, and googling isn't helping (or much more likely I'm not using the appropriate key words!) and the A500 schematics I have found don't appear to list the socket numbering. It's been about 20 years since I last removed this CPU.

Any help to point out what I'm doing wrong is appreciated!

Cheers

EDIT: 4 hours of searching, I post this, then 10 seconds later find an image of it.. Looks like it counts from top left when viewing the board, 1 is to the left of the notch? I'm guessing that's right since pin number 18 on theis image shows RESET next to 18 https://sector101synth.wordpress.com/2016/11/14/amiga-500-2mb-fast-ram-expansion/

EDIT 2: All installed and working now.

I have made it a point to use 90-degree header pins, and insert them into the needed VIA holes along the 86-pin connector, facing inward or slightly angled for the connections. Then a few of the modular (female-ended) jumper lines (DuPont-connector) make for an easy connect and disconnect if ever needed, and can be routed as needed to keep them neat.
