My guess is that it isn't pushed all the way in. At least the Indivision AGA mk2 required considerable force. YMMV.


The IndiECS goes into a normal DIL-socket (Denise) while the AGA-versions use a PLCC-socket to be pushed onto the chip (Alice) something it was never designed for.

Mounting an ECS-Indi shouldn't require (much) more force than changing a Kickstart-ROM.

Corrosion in the socket, the socket not putting enough force onto the pins (it's about 25 years old), a broken/bent pin on the Indi or even something on the mobo might be the issue here (if it really is a HW-prob with the A2000 and not a SW-issue or a broken Indi).
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Not what I wanted to hear, hopefully something small. Possibly a fault with the Denise chip, or it's not seated in the socket fully?


The Denise Chip should have no effect on the picture created by the Indi-ECS as it emulates a Denise itself.
