Individual Computers - New accelerator cards for A600 & A1200 - Page 107

Hiya,

Looks like 1200 ACA's don't like working with the Delfina Flipper

I'm just putting together my new 1200 with an ACA 1230 56Mhz and it won't boot when I plug a Delfina Flipper into the clockport (boots fine without the Delfina installed of course).

Anyone else managed to get a Delfina Flipper working with a 1200 ACA?

What PSU do you have?

Don't forget the Delfina requires a mod for it to work on the Blizzard boards (removal of a capacitor or two I think, best Google it or search the forums..) so it might be the same for the ACA cards. Sorry can't help more.

I also have ACA 1230 + Delfina Flipper and I have the same problem: (I got the instructions and the library from Vesali but still not working.) I shortened the cable from the drive and did everything they wanted. But it still does not work. Send me a private message, I will send you the delfplay from vesalia.

Amigafun is correct. I have come across a few cards that need the caps removed.
I have'nt tried a delfina with an ACA card though. So I could'nt say for sure if its the same for the ACA cards.

It depends mostly on the combination of mainboard and ACA1230: Some require removal of the Delfina caps, others don't. It's yet another of those try-and-error things that makes the Amiga so unique.

Looks like my Delfina CAPS are history then....

Here is mine A1200 Rev. 1D4, ACA1230@56Mhz, Clockport Expander and the Delfina Flipper, works stable.

Caps gone, Miggy boots.

Delfina seems to be functioning (still).

Try the latest library, available from my site www.icomp.de - it gets rid of that beep that you might hear on especially low-volume passages of songs.

Problem solved without calling the Resseller.
I thought it would have been helpful to share the experience.
I thought it was the goal of a forum.

Sorry again

I just think that Jens wanted to make a point that all support questions should go through the proper channels first. If you want to discuss the solutions here afterward, there is no problem, but the proper way to ask for help would be to go through the reseller you bought the product from first.

Has anyone had any bother with the battery backed-up clock gaining a few minutes? Mine seems to have gained about 3 minutes but, sadly, the A1200 only gets used once in a while. I've not logged how many days have elapsed to get this difference but was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this. Just curious at this stage.

Schoenfeld · 25 June 2011, 14:53

The accuracy of the crystal is 30ppm, which translates to an error of up to 80 seconds per month. Three minutes are easily gained or lost in two months.

You probably would not want to pay for a temperature-compensated crystal and a 2-3 week calibration period - that's what would be required if you want the accuracy of an expensive crystal-controlled wrist watch. It'll be cheaper to connect to the internet and adjust your clock using NTP every time you connect.

Mine lost the time totally, seemed to be a flat battery

Photon · 25 June 2011, 22:40

Don't have the A1230, but is this referring to the RTC upgrade for it?

Anyway, easy to test robbo, set the time, power off for a while, power on, check if lost, if so then get a 2 EUR battery from a local shop

amigarobbo · 25 June 2011, 23:12

Or even, reset the time, and see if it saves it

Which it seems to..

vroom6sri · 26 June 2011, 21:04

Cheers for the info, Jens. This is no way detracts from my feelings for this great bit of Amiga hardware you made for us all. It's of no significance really. I was just curious.
