Title: Is my Amiga 1200 clockport okay?
Post by: Gulliver on March 10, 2010, 12:39:42 AM
I have two A1200, and i was having a look at their motherboards. The revision 1D3 motherboard“s clockport has half the header pins installed. It has the last 22 installed.
My Amiga 1200 revision 1D1 has also half the header pins of that clockport, but it has the first 22 installed.
The question is: Are both Amigas having a functional header for clockport expansion devices, despite their different header configuration?

Nope. The last 22 pins are the correct ones. On some motherboards the wrong pins were populated due to a manufacturing error.

Thanks, I am f**ed then. I did like the rev 1d1 much more. I will need to contact some electronics repairman to do the header replacement for me

I had to do the same on my 1D1, the good news is the parts are readily available and the repair is pretty easy, so it shouldn't cost much.

I seem to recall having an A1200 that had all of the pins connected!

My revision 1A has them all connected.
