A1200 no chipmem
Hi all
Trying to repair my a1200, it was not showing any signs of life before, even with diagrom. I started by retouching the solder on the alice chip. I am now get some display with diagrom some raster bars with flashing green background. I'm now also getting the following through the serial output HTML Code:
Garbage before this text was binary numbers: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, @???U Garbage before this text was binary numbers: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 240, 15, 170 and 85 To help you find biterrors to paula.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated |

Could be an issue with Gayle.

Tried another Gayle, it got even worse would not even show any serial output.
The board is a rev 1A, I'm guessing there is something seriously wrong with this board. I've got a reamiga 1.4 on order, I'm going build it up with sockets for the custom chips and see how it goes. |

Professional slacker!

Good luck with the build, when my ReAmiga was put together there was initially an issue with no chip ram, resoldering the Alice sorted.
Originally there was garbage serial output, resoldering the budgie sorted that and was how the chip ram issue was diagnosed |
