Title: Wich ROM is this?
Post by: J-Golden on June 05, 2008, 08:51:54 PM

I'm going through all my stuff and I came across an old Rom chip.

It is a single chip (not paired) with a white lable with

4.13
9508

on it.  I can't even remeber which Amiga I yanked it out of :(

any clues?

4.13 sounds like a GVP SCSI rom. what kind of chip is this ? 27c256 ?

It has 14x2 pins and looks like a Amiga ROM Chip.  Thats what I thought it was infact.  Cudda swarn I pulled it out of an A1200...  or was it a A2000???

Is there any posibility this is a 3.0 ROM?

no way, 28 pin is a classic SCSI rom chip package. Amiga rom chips are 40 pin. a1200 roms come in pairs.

Amiga 1 rom kickstarts are 20X2 40 pin chips. I think Countzero is right about this one. 4.13 is an older rom revision for GVP accellerator and SCSI boards. Someone upgraded and this is the old rom

V4.13 is a pretty recent update, V4.15 is the last version released by Ralph Babel...

Ok, tankz all.  That would be it I guess.  I've had about 20 Amigas in my life time and 10 to 1 I had that board and did the upgrade.

So is this thing workthless then?  Should I pitch it or does someone want it?

Not completely worthless. Could probably get $10-$15 for it on ebay??? I have a 4.03 rom that I could upgrade with that. If I could get it for the cost of shipping, I would be interested.
