- Bernhard A. Rieckhoff had the following to say about Re: A500 and KS 2.04 Help Needed ..
-
- BAR> I have an A500, rev 5 b , My 2.04 rom had a wire soldered from pin 1 to
- BAR> 31
- BAR> (i think), otherwise it was just normally plugged in. When I got my 3.1
- BAR> rom I first just stuck it in, that didn't work. then I reproduced the
- BAR> jumpering on the 2.04 rom (I stripped a braided wire and wire-wrapped a
- BAR> strand to the two pins). That also failed, but I had a snippet from
- BAR> CSA.Hardware and followed the destructions below, -worked fine for me.
- BAR> (BTW I didn't solder, just inserted copper strands into the relevant pin
- BAR> sockets.I also didn't buy an additional socket.I did reproduce the
- BAR> shorts and bent pin though.)
-
- Hum, I guess I was just very lucky to plug and play that time, never even knew that
- It could have not worked if I had the "wrong" revision of the amiga motherboard ...
