Perfect. That is all, thanks again.

This was quite simple controller, emulation is done

roy bates · 16 April 2017, 15:00

cheers,glad ot help

thats another one down then

mark_k · 16 April 2017, 16:35

Are there any other boards in the unit? Maybe a RAM board? Pics would be nice if possible, since it seems to be pretty rare.

roy bates · 16 April 2017, 19:23

yes there is a ram board as well,it had 2mb of fastram.i have maxed it out to 8mbwhile i was doing the repair

ill take a few pictures,but please dont ask me to take out the cards,they have been out a few times now during the repair

Thanks for that! Interesting, looks like the RAM board is made by Expansion Systems (DataFlyer label on it). So a previous owner must have added that themself, rather than the RAM board coming with the main unit. (Unless Expansion System took over/acquired California Access???)

roy bates · 16 April 2017, 21:48

no idea ,but i do know both cards were added later

i dont think the ram board was made by the same manufacturer as the scsi card

the machine is a amiga 1500,which as you probably know came with two floppy drives and no expansions installed
motherboard is a issue 6 with 2.04

mark_k · 16 April 2017, 22:04

Ah OK. I was thinking the boards were in one of these bad boys.

roy bates · 16 April 2017, 22:37

hahaha,yes that would nice to work on

the odd thing i found with this setup is the boot partition on the harddrive is write protected...which is very odd,i definitely felt like adjusting that

mark_k · 17 April 2017, 17:25

By the way, if you ever get any random expansion cards in for repair again, you can usually dump their ROM(s) by running a program on the Amiga, no need to remove the chip(s) from the board. No need to boot from hard drive either.

roy bates · 17 April 2017, 21:22

that wouldnt be easier in this situation

nothing wrong with any of the cards,for me it was easier to remove the bootrom and read it out in a programmer directly
plus i would have to deal with transfers to a pc to upload it here

so,not really an option for me

Thanks for the work Roy, I'll probably never use it but its great to see people pitching in to help Toni..

Cheers mate!

Paul.

roy bates · 20 April 2017, 20:10

no probs

it was luck really,i happen to be browsing the net for the card itself for info along with jumper settings for the ram card etc

and happen to see the winuae site looking for the bootrom
