Are we changing the apollo to be the real deal? :D and make them better tha they are?
 
yes,it needs this and has needed this for a very long time...

i still cant see the attachment mate.
 
yes,i think that would work better,no bending of pins.

you missed one pin i think,but yes its better.

would you be able to just sell the pcb?
 
Well here goes what I think:

If we use plcc or dip, trap door will not close. Solution: use soic gal.
Advantage: Board is the same size as socket.
There is no need to put socket bellow board if you solder eprom directly. If you use a slim 128mb simm it will fit perfectly.(This 128mb simm is broken)
So with this new design, we can get cheaper boards.
Here are the connections needed:

if you want ,you can make the pcb/gal with fly leads to connect it up.im fine with that.(for pcb placement)

i don't why,but i think this will work with the 1230 as well,i think that uses the same controller.

Oh no sir.... most assuredly no the only one.... I am watching this thread with much interest indeed!
 
The second unit of this gadget will be mine huahuahua!!!! First to Edro (Marmes), second to his dearest friend! (ME!!!!!!!!!!!!)
 
Nice job Marmes!

I have an Apollo 1260 Rev.6 80Mhz 64MB that could use a little extra RAM!

Let me know if you need my card to make some science. :) (As long as we don't burn it in the process). :lol:

Ohh! Thanks!
But I already got one, going to recieve tomorrow! JCarvalho was kind to send his, I didn't know you had an apollo1260.
But If you have an 128mb simm I would apreciate, I wouldn't have to wait for the others to arrive,
 
i just thought i would share something with you,as i don't know if you know this or not.

if you program a 27c010 with the 060 firmware it will work with a 040 onboard.
 
I already have here an apollo 1260 at 80mhz. Courtesy of JCarvalho. It runs perfect with 64mb in one simm. the back simm I have some issues due to limitations of gal chip it only sees 16mb from 32 or 64mb simms.
The other 1240 already has 5.60 with 27c1001 soldered to board and it works :)
Still waiting for 128mb simms!

was the issue already there before mounting the gal?

i had a apollo that had problems after the second slot was added,turns out it was a bad connection.
it would only se half of the simm i put in there(one side)

but its encouraging that the card see's more than 64mb.

yes im sure it does,not sure what firmware it has though.

i think stachu100 converted a few,maybe he knows whats on the firmware.

i think the apollo 1260 has the same firmware as the 4060.
