WTB: Mobo/Mouseport

[BippyM]

Hey Guys

I'm after a a1200 mobo or the following off of a 1d.4 motherboard!

(See attached image)

I could also do with the pinout info for the port.. that way I can rewire the PC serial connector I have..

Anyone?

[keropi]

what happened to the old mouseport?

[BippyM]

When I got the 1200 it had this PC thing on it..

I couldn't complain as I swapped my a500 and my a1200 for this amiga (Eyetech tower, BPPC/BVision) etc..

I have never booted it more than twice in 2 yrs I've had it due to this problem!

All I need is the pinouts of the mobo.. pin 1 is easy, where is pin 2 etc.. does pin 1 on mobo goto pin 1 on port etc..

If in doubt buy another!

I gave a friend of mine a towerhawk tower with a burnt a1200 mobo... I see if he still has it, I can send the port to you... free ofcourse! unless you fix it sooner

but does not tell about the motherboard pins... maybe someone will check with a multimeter, it is so easy!

Yeah getting hold of the pin info is simple enough.. but it doesn't give the pin info for the header on the motherboard

Any news on this Keropi?

I ask because there are a couple of 1200 motherboards on ebay and I might bid on one of them

[keropi]

I got in touch with my friend, he is not in my town, but on an island on the Aegean sea... he has the board but needs first to find out where in his warehouse lol...
it depends on how fast you want it, it could take 4-5 days until I have this port on my hands...

[BinoX]

Hmmm...

I have a 1D.4 board at home.... I'll see if I can find it...

[BippyM]

Guys that's be great of either of you.. there is no immediate rush!

[BinoX]

Well.. you can either have The motherboard (with no roms) for £5 + postage.. or you can just have the mouse port connector for postage cost
(Or some cool amiga hardware that you don't want.. lol)

[BinoX]

Here's a pinout for ya too...

(pin numbering on the 9 pin D is)

1 2 3 4 5
 6 7 8 9
(looking at the pin side of the connector... and as they are numbered on the socket itself)

The connector on the motherboard has this pinouts: (if you look at the board with the pcmcia slot facing down)

 . . . . .    5 4 3 2 1
 . . . . .    N 9 8 7 6  (N is not connected)

[keropi]

oh, very usefull info BinoX !!!

Well you say the mobo is fuxxored so I'll take just the connector if that is ok..

Lemme know how much the postage will be and I can pay with paypal

Binox thanks.. I'll try the pinout conversion on my next day off work

[BinoX]

Actually, the motherboard is fine, I just haven't got the ROMs in it... If I look around I can probably get a set of 3.0 ROMs out of the cupboard...

Postage is gunna be pretty much £1.50... If you want it then PM me yer address and I'll tell you exactly what it costs...

Alternatively if you want the motherboard too PM me yer address and that you want the motherboard too and I'll get it out ASAP

I still never see why people overcharge for postage. Posting 3.0 roms would only cost 32p to post first class.

[BippyM]

Well I would prefer it to be sent recorded after the issues with the last mobo

So add on 62p........hmm around the £1 mark then.

Recorded actually makes very little difference, you can track it..aka look if someones signed it. But if it gets lost the PO is still extrememly poor at assisting you and finding it. Often I have packages delivered and they dont even ask for a sig even when its recorded signed for!

Only way to be sure is special delivery 9am

I was guessing the price...
The cable is slightly heavier than a 1st class stamp will allow for.. and I'd rather put it in a box 'cause I know what royal mail people are like with things in envelopes.. (They tear the edges and pinch the contents)
