Will an A1000 spill the beans?
« on: March 10, 2003, 08:36:57 AM »
Is there a way to get an A1000  with Workbench 1.2 to tell me what hardware is connected to it's front edge-connector?

I have A1000 with what I think are ram boards connected to the front. Thing is they have no printing on them which states what they are. :-(

It is a 256k ram expansion on the front. As far as I know they didn't make any other ram sizes for the front edge connector. (Oops! I stand corrected someone did make a bigger ram size) Sorry about that.

@AmiDelf
Is there a way to post an image without having to put the image somewhere else on the 'Net and linking to it?

hehe, I could UUEncode the images and post that text here. Then everyone can UUDecode it on their computer and see what all the hubbub is all about. :-D  :lol:

@piru

Nope, it's neither of those. :-( Except one was surrounded by that metal case thing in the second link you provided. The board didn't match, though.

Well, I did say there was nothing saying what they were, but one does say:

Assy. 103
Copyright
1986 by
Microbotics

And the other says:

ASSY. 200582

(C) 1986 BY
SKYLES
ELECTRIC WORKS

I guess I should have stated these up front. :oops:

If you type "avail" in a Shell, it should tell you about your memory. It looks as though you have 512kb of chip RAM (256k on the board internally + 256k third party RAM on the front).

Have you looked inside? Is it a single board A1000 or does it have a daughter-board, upside-down, with the Kickstart RAM on it?

That won't be neccessary. I figured out what they are. Now to see if anyone wants to buy a 256k RAM expander for an A1000. Classifieds here I come! :-)

Right, 3:03 am, my brain hurts, so I suggest...



1) Open the A1000 case

2) Open a can of baked beans

3) Pour contents of can inside the open A1000 case

4) Close the A1000 case

5) Place the A1000 in a variety of orientations

6) Observe carefully if beans or tomato sauce ooze from any joins or holes in the A1000 case

Do I have to remove the pork fat blob, or does that have a special function?

That's for lubrication when the thing warms up, making the beans more fluid...

-edit-

I really do think I should go to bed now :-)
