A500 BUS connector pinout problem...
« on: March 07, 2005, 02:47:37 AM »
Hey there!

I've been plodding away building the a500IDE on aminet, and I came across something which confuses me.

The pinout listed for the A500 buss connector. I look at the mainboard on the A500 and the pinout given in the doc seems to be a mirror image. Is this so?
What I mean is that the wide contact with the earths is on the left when looking at the A500 and not the right....right?
The top and bottom I assume are correct.

The only reason I'm asking is taht I'm having a terrible time finding another bus pinout or an a500 schematic.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks all.

Woot!!
Thanks for that! I didn't have the schematics.
Sorry this reply took so long. My computer was eaten by maggots or something. Had to reinstall from scratch anyway.

Thanks for that!
