So, my replacement motherboard arrived... but :(
It's a rev 2B
thing is, it's a commodore 2b. there is no mention of escom anywhere. does this mean it wont need the timing fix? |

hmmm ok.
so the fact that i'm typing this from my amiga right now, with BPPC running at 66/330 and fasta connected and it's not crashing, freezing etc that it's fine as it is? as an added twist, it's currently running off the A500 psu that came with it! |

Poor thing, get a stronger PSU right now!
The Escom motherboards still have Commodore logos on them, no sign of Escom stuf AFAIK. |

They are, but only 5amps iirc.
As i've got pcmcia, bppc, fastata, cf card, mouse, joypad, external floppy etc even that got strained and started to crash the system. it's all fine on the atx psu though |

How many amps does your Atx has in the 5volts line? I'm searching a cheap and small one with at least 20 amps there that I could fit inside the A500 psu.

I can't remember exactly. It's a 250w generic psu left over from a pretty old PC. it's obviously enough though! lol

have a look and see if you can get an itx supply,there very amall and will fit inside an a500 supply,and you can get them upto 200watts(these are like pico's only a bit bigger) and have 20 amps on the 5 volt rail and you could use one of ian's atx adaptors with it. |
