A2386SX Schematics
« on: December 02, 2007, 04:02:24 PM »
I have just about given up trying to find a nice A2386 (short of a miracle on ebay). So it looks like I may have to try and repair the one I have. It was pretty badly damaged by a corroding battery before I received it.

Does anyone have schematics or a service manual for the A2386SX board?  Mine is functioning except for the on-board floppy controller is completely dead. It won't even allow a single shared floppy drive to work on the Amiga side. This is also the area of the board where most of the damage is.

I'll start working trace by trace first without one and see how far I get as time permits. Also is this a 2 layer board, or more? I may have some damaged VIA's, and if it's four or more layers I'm probably sunk.

Thanks,
Jeff

@amiga92570
I never even thought of that. I'm sure I already have a floppy controller around here.

@amesie2
I'll try contacting Ray anyway. I would still like to find a working one. I already have Cyrix 386SX to 486 upgrade and I know it works.

Thanks,
Jeff
