STRANGE MOD ON A3000
« on: November 20, 2004, 06:22:46 AM »
today a friend of mine gave me a bunch of amiga stuff an a500 with a mega midget racer 030 with the ram card and also a derringer 030 50mhz  and finally a a3000 with a rapid fire scsi card (no ram) it was connected to a internal style scsi cd but since theres no room in the case its was just wired external with a ribbon cable and the other card was a gvp a2000 hc8-II (fully populate with ram but no drives)
its a rev 7 mobo but the strange thing  is first on the Denise chip theres a sticker that says "warp" and also on jumper 200 "j200"  there are 2 wires soldered to pins 1 and 3 with no switch but the wires are loosely twisted together so loose that i dont know if they need to be tied together or not
and from what i have read j200 is the pal ntsc selector but pin 1 and 3 are never tied together in any scenario i read about so what to do next should i try and boot it with the wires together or not or should i remove them and jumper it for ntsc
any help is appreciated

well i started it with the wires tied together and it seems to work fine
and from what i can tell pin 2 never had any wire attached
and oh there is one correction i would like to make i mistyped the print on the denise sticker it actually says "wrap"
