YeeeeHaww !!! I Just destroyed my Apollo 630 and Amiga 600!
« on: September 11, 2004, 12:24:21 AM »
Well, my Apollo wasnt working, so I tried to see what was wrong.........I think it was some goo on the pins blocking the signals from making contact.........I got it to work a few times but then no more............so i tried cleaning it with Alcohol, and then bent the pins on the Apollo slightly more outward.  This caused the Apollo to rip 1 pin off the 68000 CPU on the 600, as well as 2 pins breaking half way off the Apollo!   I am soooooo upset!

 I think if someone is planning on recreating the Apollo 630, they should go all the way and make either a 68040 or 68060 instead with a better designed board. One that wont leak goo, and maybe partially connects to the RAm expansion on the A600 giving it its own ChipRAM as well as somehow communicating the Accelerator.

Please don't tell me it can't be done.........Everything is possible and I know this is possible.

As for my Apollo 630?  gonna give the M-Tec 630 (Viper 630) a try.

CD32 is actually the best Amiga ever made by Commodore!...

It's posible I can fix the 600 by soldering the leg like you said........though I may have to scrape some of the plastic casing on the CPU or whatever that material....But I may not be able be able to fix the Apollo 630
