INstalling 3.1 ROMs into A1200
« on: December 17, 2010, 12:38:29 AM »
Well, I pulled the 3.0 ROMS from my A1200 project to clean up the motherboard and when I went to install the 3.1 ROMS I wish I paid more attention to how the old ones sat. Each of the chips has a half circular notch at one side. Does this notch sit towards the PCMCIA side of the motherboard? Also, there are more holes in the socket than pins on the chips. On which side are the holes left empty?

Thank you for your help and for putting up with my gung-ho-ness (stupidity) :D

Thanks guys. A great help as always. Just out of interest, do we know who snaped the ROM chip in that picture? It must have been done on purpose, surely?

And most importantly of all, what is with the avatars? I've missed something.

Hey motorollin, where have you been? I haven't seen you post on here in a while.
