Wanted Apollo 1240's For Spare Parts + 060 Sockets

Dimlow · 12 December 2008, 10:18

Ok with all the requests I'm getting to fix these i thought id ask for donor cards for the parts. I'm doing this to provide a service to Amiga users. So if you want to donate Some Amiga blood let me know.

Also i'm having a hard time finding sockets for the 060 processor I'm not asking for donations here just help finding a supplier of them, i did managed to find a supplier but the minimum order is 15 units at 13 us dollars each, i didn't think that was cheap enough so i have not ordered them. So Ideas please, the socket is called a PGA 223 pin its 18 x 18 pins square.

Regards
Dimmy

I'm afraid I've not got anything spare to donate, but if you happen to come across an 80Mhz crystal oscillator, I'd be prepared to buy it off you for my Apollo board.

Steve.

Dimlow · 12 December 2008, 11:58

yes, i have some, i will pm you later after i finish work

Dimlow · 02 January 2009, 23:22

I have to add , i will pay for them!

Chain · 03 January 2009, 23:06

ive saw similar sockets on ebay long time ago. they have more row of pins but ive bought one for spare. i will saw it easily i think. That seller has aroud 30 pieces in stock. it was some guy qith lot of electronic parts. try looking for "pga socket" maybe he still has some. just my 2c

edit:i think it was from us

Dimlow · 09 January 2009, 01:32

Cool thanks, will look

Zetr0 · 09 January 2009, 01:38

I got a lot of my components form dead 486/586 boards, a modified socket 3 ZIF would work in its place my friend

Dimlow · 09 January 2009, 01:40

Yes, you have told me about these before, i was worried about the hight of them.

Dimlow · 23 January 2009, 11:03

Posting just to bump this and say the its been confirmed that the 060 will NOT fit in a modified socket 3 ZIF from a 486, but the 040 will! So not much use to me.

@Dimlow:

I believe I can get 060 sockets for cheap (< $10). How many do you want? I'll check next time I goes shopping.

Dimlow · 23 January 2009, 20:05

oooh, that depends on the prices maybe 5 - 10

da9000 · 23 January 2009, 20:32

OK, I will check when I'm at the shop next.

BTW, I really enjoyed reading your Apollo conversion thread!

Did you ever finally create the variable voltage regulator?

Dimlow · 23 January 2009, 21:24

Variable voltage Regulator is not needed, cant remember why the idea came up now. but the regulator i use now ( I'm making a few more soon) has proven to be very good. I do have a new version where you can select between 5v for the 040 ans 3.3v for the 060's. Yes that thread was quite voyage of discovery.

Zetr0 · 24 January 2009, 06:12

@da9000

If i might be so bold, I would be happy to do a group buy with dimmy for some sockets

da9000 · 24 January 2009, 08:45

@Zetr0:

No worries! It'd be an honor to help out hardware hackers like you two. First I'll find price ranges, and report back. I'll buy some too as I'm upgrading some cards as well, so I'll ask for discounts on >10 items.

Dimlow · 13 March 2009, 03:27

Any news on these sockets ?
