Hello all,
How hard is it? I just got 4 A500s (one of them in great condition, but with 1.2 and the rest in really bad shape, but working and on Kickstart 1.3)
I am tempted to open one of those bad shaped ones (well I already did!) and remove its 1.3 Kickstart ROM and replace it with my good A500's 1.2.
The thing is, I am not sure which chip is the real kickstart on A500. do you have a picture of motherboard which clearly shows it?
Also, for some reason the metal shield on the one that I removed its cover got bent and I don't think that I ever be able to replace it back. I am afraid that I will be doing the same with my good A500, when I am removing the cover and its metallic shield. Do I really needs this shield, if I am keeping my A500 at room-temperature?
Oh, and is 1.3 THE most compatible Kickstart, or should I stay with my 1.2 on my A500?
Thanks a million again!
UPDATE 1: OK I found this image. Which one is the Kickstart ROM chip?
