Title: Mystery Amiga board
Post by: murple on July 28, 2007, 06:25:21 AM

I got this in a bulk purchase of Amiga items. No idea what it is. Theres a circuitboard which has several connectors. A 23 pin male connector with a Commodore logo (looks like part of an RGB monitor cable) connects to part of the board. There is a female 23 pin connector surface mounted to the board. There's a 34 pin connector on the board to which a ribbon cable with what looks like an old style floppy drive connector on it. The board has 3 chips of some kind, and a few other random components. There is "W-2594V-0" printed on the board, and "327187-01 REV A" etched on the board.

Anyone have any idea what the hell it might be?

Board from the 1020 (5.25 floppy) drive?

Looks like the circuit board from inside an external floppy drive, like the one in the A1010 (http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?n=1021=13).

Yeah, just looked at my external drive. Does seem to match. Never noticed they had 23 pin connectors before.

So it's a naked floppy? Maybe naked AND floppy?  :oops:
