ACA620EC replacement CPU socket. Where to purchase?
Need some help. Picked up a ACA620 locally here in Australia. It had a broken socket on it.
I ordered some 68 pin sockets from China and proceeded to remove the existing one. The replacements arrived, installed but they do not clip on to the 68000. Very loose and not a nice "click" on. Looking at some pictures online and I can sort of see that the sockets are low profile. Is there special sockets I need to order and if so where can I get one from? Thanks |

The ACA620 socket is custom made AFAIK. Get in touch with Individual Computers, or, failing that, some of the other A600 accelerator manufacturers such as Lotharek or Kipper2k.

I actually have a Kipper2K memory board which use a 3M socket. Found it in one store in the US but shipping for 2 sockets to Australia is $105USD. Emailed them for an accurate shipping cost. Hopefully I can salvage this one. |

You could screw the board to the motherboard too, actually the ACA620 works best when locked to the motherboard in this way.

I think most cards used a sanded down socket so that it can be pressed further down.

Also some people mention that there are stand off brackets that are supplied with the ACA620EC to secure it to the motherboard. I see holes that match up to the hard drive cradle holes. Wonder if I can 3D print a couple of columns to screw and hold the card in place. |

The original is not sanded down because it is a custom job.
