Someone has added enough to boot from IDE CD-ROM.

Do you have any links for that? I'm trying to do the same on my A4K.

Hi all,

does this piece of hardware work on the A500 rev 6A? Is there a way to Burn the contents of an Original Amiga Rom (1.3) in a PLCC type eprom so that we than have a PCB with 3 PLCC chips?


Thanks

Yes.

Sure, but you need to modify the circuit board in order to do that.

And if you know how to modify the circuit board, then you shouldn't be asking that question in the first place, you'd already be rerouting address and data lines.

Thank you. I think i'll biuld it in the next days.

As Jope already said, works fine in rev 6A board.

Not sure why you would need *3* Flash roms?

Circuit shouldn't require any modification to use PLCC chips.

Have fun!,

P.S. Here are couple of pics of my original PLCC prototype: (ratsnest!!)

I think he wanted to use a self burned PLCC chip in the place where your and narmi's boards show the kickstart ROM.

(can you even get 16bit EEPROMs in PLCC packages? I thought they are always TSOP)

@Jope
Yes, that was my idea.

@RedskullDC
... but you're right, i really don't need 3 flash eproms. I took the board files from narmi and i just would like to make a single side PCB, it would be easier for me. But i think i'll try it with your schematics first.
