Would be cool if you could show pictures of your fan installation.

It might make the machine unstable. That's the reason why it's not installed on Indivision AGA MK2 by default.

Perhaps a jumper on the card and the resistor already installed would be a nice improvement.

It stays really cool

It looks cool, but is it necessary to cool down the Alice chip or not? I'm starting to get a little confused

If not i'll put together something like you're, also the top fan on the case seems a really good idea.
I'll use hot glue just in case, the super glue solution also didn't make me very confortable.
I'll post some pics as soon as i finish the job.

I like the current design. Sure, it's just 4 more solder points, bit it still adds (unneeded) complexity, with very little benefit. It would be useful only if swapping the darn thing back and forth a whole lot, and i'm not sure that would be good for the Amiga's in which it's put... With the amount of force needed to put it on, and to remove it again, somehow i feel something has to give if you keep pushing it on, and pulling it of.

B!

I added the SMD resistor this evening and ran the system for a few hours. So far, I did not see the same instability that I saw before applying the fix. I haven't had the time to run more extensive tests, but preliminary results look promising.

What rev motherboard are you using?
What OS?
What cpu?

thanks

I think when guy have problems they should list these specs so we can figure out bugs.

paulo_becas · 11 May 2012, 12:55

Here's how i fix the fan over the indi, i use those plastic things (i don't know the english name for it

) instead of using any kind of glue and it's very well secured, having lyra installed help a lot.

Now i have to figure out how am i going to fix the other fan on top of the Alice chip, you can see in the picture the fan i intend to use over Alice, it's a perfect fit, it has rubber around it.
Any sugestions?

By the way here's my 1200 configuration.

Motherboard Revision 1D4, NTSC with the alice chip 41 pin lifted for it to boot on Pal
Kick 3.1
ClassicWB 3.5
CF HD 8Gb Kingston
CDRW/DVD Rom
E-matrix 1230/50Mhz 32Mb Ram with FPU 68882
Lyra 2, Silversurfer and reset fix installed

Yes, I mean that logo.

BTW, few more facts.
I wrote yesterday that Super Hires modes were not displayed correctly. Today they look fine, even after 30 minutes of work and we have very hot day in Warsaw.

I've viewed 3 scene demos - Captured Dreams, Ocean Machine and Exit Planet Dust - and they looked OK.

My config: A1200 rev. 2B, Apollo 1240/40 Mhz, 32 MB Fast, E/Box tower, Compaq 15" CRT monitor.

Rev 1d4
OS 3.1 (CWB)
CPU 68030 (ACA 25)
MKII with added 1K resistor

johnim · 11 May 2012, 14:50

the logo is the designers company logo

and gives screen info

BarryB · 11 May 2012, 18:44

Could embed a hotkey in the firmware to pop that info up rather than each time the screenmode changes.

Calabazam · 11 May 2012, 21:14

That's disappointing to read that people are still experiencing problems with the MKII. Time to leave the Indivision behind (with several MK1 batches and the new MKII i think we are done), and move to the ACA520, isn't it Jens?

Still? It's been out for a week.

Gawd! The config tool will solve most display issues when it's released and users are solving the niggles as they find them. Give the bloody thing time to get the support that's promised then we can judge.

If you take the time to read about the issues (and resolutions) you will find that they are not related to the MKII, but to the chipset of the Amiga. The MKII actually has some features to resolve some of these issues... Besides, as has been said before, we're working with old hardware so you will occasionally need to be a bit creative getting things to work the way you want.

hi guys with fastatas an update these wont work they dont fit in new rom sockets or origional ones

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SIL-Socket...item35bbdc0ef4

i just tried mine

I've just received mines from Spiratronics. You are true, they have square pins. I'll have to try with the normal socket.

johnim · 11 May 2012, 22:42

maybe this might work but need to ask seller if round pin or square

What about Amigakits offer? just need to give them some info

johnim · 11 May 2012, 22:54

yes your right but to get the info we need to get the correct angle and mesurements and working
