Anyone out there fix an Apollo 4060
I bought an Apollo 4060 off Fleabay earlier this year, had some trouble getting it working initially, but recently when I tried to upgrade the SuperBuster on my A4000, the system then refused to boot.
Thankfully have an A3640 lying around spare that I used to troubleshoot. After much trial and error Im convinced that the Apollo 4060 is dead... either the 3.3v Regulator on it is gone, or its maybe the CPU. Cant say for sure. Gutted though. Is there anyone out there that could take a look at this for me, Amiga Center France maybe? Mark |

If you were in the UK I would not have hesitated to take look at it, having both spare CPU's, replacement voltage regulators and a 4060 myself... but if it was something else I would not have the time to diagnose.
JJB at Amiga Centre France is your best bet. |

Finally got my ass and removed my A4000 mobo from its case. Going to ship both the motherboard and the accelerator to Jean because I want him to replace all the caps on the mobo too. I'll let you know how I get on...
