Title: YAREPOAH (what?)
Post by: McVenco on February 29, 2008, 08:30:54 AM

or: Yet Another Ridiculously Expensive Piece Of Amiga Hardware :-D

Ebay linky (http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180216917988&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008)

41 Euros for a KICKSTART SWITCH? Can somebody explain this one for me?

Looks like it's so you can use different kickstart chips.

That's the whole point of a switcher innit? :-)

I'd be willing to pay for one that did the switch by holding down the key (like I used to have) - but not TOO much. If I'm looking at that pic correctly (and I might not be) - it looks like an external switch is used to go back and forth.

If that's the case - even *I* (with the grabbag of crappy newb electronics skills picked up from my RC Plane hobby) could make one for about 10 bucks or so.

There's a whole howto in one of the old Grapevines (oh how I miss those diskmags).
