Title: RCS X-Calibur
Post by: T3000 on October 06, 2008, 01:34:31 AM
I aquired an RCS X-Calibur Ram expansion for installation on an A3640 to be used in my A3000T. ...if it ever runs again, green screen problem.:shrug: If I can't resolve the green screen on the A3000T, I am considering installing the A3640/X-Calibur combo into my A4000D. Although I really don't like the idea of removing the WarpEngine'40. The only scsi device attached to it is a ZIP drive.

Found the installation instructions for the hardware. It would appear that I also need to obtain a 66mhz and do some modification to the A3640. Upon close visual inspection of the X-Calibur I noticed that it looks like a pin on the bottom side of the X-Calibur has been "replaced" where there shouldn't be one, preventing the X-Calibur from being fit into the CPU socket of the A3640. Also a pin on one of the chips on the top side of the card is not inserted into the socket, however this looks consitant with the  photo (http://amiga.resource.cx/photos/xcalibur) shown on Amiga Resource.

Anyone have any experience installing one of these units? Any other information would be most helpful.
