Upgrading Apollo 1240 to 1260 a definitive How To Guide - Page 11

The Bottom grab is from sysspeed, i didn't run the benchmark because it failed to run, i think because i don't have some apps installed that it uses.

Edit, i ran the SysSpeed Benchmark and it reports 106 Mips

You should run SysSpeed from aminet. http://aminet.net/package/util/moni/sspeed26

I still like AIBB for those test, myself.

I received 8 chips of the 27C010-120ns a friend send to me.

Great guy!

Shame he don't want to join this forum, much better than the other...

Dimlow · 12 August 2008, 01:31

What OTHER would that be? Also so i dont remember, do you have the Mach 131 chips in your card ? I have a nice latest revision 060 chip here for you ! then you will be set to go.

rkauer · 12 August 2008, 10:42

Tempting!

But first I need to convince wifie...

Maybe she let me buy one of those old masks there are so cheap... sigh... I already have a 80MHz crystal here... Sigh (again)...

For the forum... A... Nah, guess!

Hi,

I am new here. I want to upgrade my Apollo. Bought 060 cpu. To change +5V to 3.3V I use AIC-1084-33. It is simple and stable. All I need is a new rom file. It is not anymore in Zone

. Please help if you still have got it. Thanks

@Zetr0,
Would that be...a ... hook,... line and sinker...??? lol

If not........ had me....... going !!

28 February 2009, 13:33

Thanks for warm welcome

. I had lots of problems with this Apollo

. Bought it faulty and what ever I did, press on it etc. it did not start so I thougt I will buy a new CPU and I bought 68EC060 - stupid waste of money at this time

, then I bought full 060. Took old 040 out, put a socket and tried 040 again and it started when I pressed on it. It turned out it was dry join on 74LS. Why I did not do it at the first place I do not know. I probably wanted 060 very bad

. It works now with 040 but I have to do a mod on my 1D4 board yet. Anyway, Amiga is the best computer I know. it has got a soul. Whenever I go to car boot sale and see it I have to buy it (5 pounds for such a great piece of electronic

) I have ended with a few A500, A500+, few A600, A2000 and three A1200. I have started in 1998 when my mom

bought me A500. Swap it for CD32 with SX. Great time ... . It haunts my dreams till now ... .

Hi Dimlow.

You have recommended 27c010 150ns or less. Why is that ? Will 155ns still work fine ?

Dimlow · 06 March 2009, 21:15

its just what i have been told, but im sure i have seen 170 ns chips used.

DC33 · 14 March 2009, 20:44

@Dimlow,

I have installed ClassicWB (FULL) on my 1200/060 and have come across the same issue of crashing when I double click on an Icon. I saw yur earlier post where yu had the same problem.... How did you overcome this?

Cheers,

Dimlow · 14 March 2009, 21:08

To be honest i cant remember, but i do i know that i got these problems only before i had installed the drivers for the 1260. If i remember right, they don't install correctly from the disk. what i had to do was copy the files from the 1260 directory to the libs directory. there is a post on here some place that explains it. I had to do some searching.

DC33 · 14 March 2009, 21:13

Thanks Dimlow,
I have done this already as the system crashed during boot-up without the correct 060 libs. You mentioned it may have been due to the icon-patching or something like that.... but didn't elaborate on how you fixed that problem.
Thanks anyway.
PS. Glad to see you got those 2 boards you got off me working fine
