DKB Cobra question
« on: January 18, 2004, 05:31:12 AM »
I've got a DKB Cobra accelerator here and I'm trying to install a 33Mhz 68882 PLCC FPU in it, however when inserted in the PLCC socket, the FPU seems to be undetected by SysInfo or WhichAmiga. Does anyone know how to enable it? I've set the FPU jumper to CPU, meaning it should run at the same speed as the 030, which runs at 28Mhz. The other position ALT is to use the second crystal for the FPU only, but since I've got none I couldn't utilize it.

Any tips?

@patrik:

My nick doesn't mean anything. It's just random numbers and letters which I picked since every other nick I picked so far has been succefully used by like a million other people on the net, so I said to hell with it...I'm picking something which is guaranteed to not be copied. :-)

Which program requires FPU? What is a good one for this test?

@Brian:

I'll try your suggestion and see what happens.

Rats, it was the FPU chip itself that was faulty. Tried it in another accelerator and I can confirm now that the chip is DOA.
