TF530 Odd CIA Chip INT2 Adaptor Installation

nathanm1991 · 20 June 2018, 17:18

Hi there Member I was just Wondering if anybody has Had Experience with the Adaptor that Sits underneath the Odd CIA Chip For INT2. Which Pin does the Wire have to Fall on? Thank you to All :-)

_INT2 is on pin 21 of the odd CIA, so I would presume that's where it goes.

Bottom left as if your looking at it from Keyboard View? I have Followed a Picture that I was Sent just wanted to be sure before I Switched it on and 2. is it ok to use a KS 1.3 rom just to test it?

nathanm1991 · 20 June 2018, 17:54

Would it now be a Good idea to Remove the A501 Ram Expansion or will it not hurt to be left in there?

Daedalus · 20 June 2018, 17:57

Yep, that should be pin 21 - the one closest to the ROM socket. As for KS 1.3 for testing, I don't know for sure, but I don't see why it wouldn't be ok.

I thought it would be ok Myself as 2.0 and above is really only for ide Support if I am Correct? I just Don't want to break My Precious old Girl it Felt Quite Brittle When I Was removing the Cia Chip and the 6800 and God don't you have to put some force to get them Back on it's Scary the First time Round lol

Just a Update it Works like a Charm, Can Play Citadel Full Screen at a good FPS too :-)

Good stuff

Yeah, swapping chips can be a scary experience when you're not used to it. But unless they've already been abused in the past, they'll be fine once you take your time and go carefully.

Yeah I Gently Lifted it Slightly from either side until it was completely free
