Chip upgrade
« on: March 28, 2006, 04:04:01 PM »
Two questions please.

On the A4000D is it necessary or beneficial to have Super Buster rev. 11 instead of rev. 9?  Would I be missing anything if I left it at rev. 9?

Also is it difficult to upgrade the chip on the board to rev. 11?

I've changed out KS ROM chips before with no problem but never one of the custom chips.

As always thanks for the help.   :-)

Thanks so much for the info.

This statement concerns me though.

Necessary, no, beneficial, sometimes. If you don't plan on using any Zorro cards there is no reason to upgrade to Buster 11.

Do Zorro cards not work with the rev. 9 chip?  I would like to add cards in the future even if I don't right now.

Thanks TjLaZer.  Would I be able to use Network cards, sound cards, video cards?  Video Toaster cards?  I would definitly want to put a network card in but I'm not sure what else.

I'll have to check the socketing.  It was originally a 68030 system.

Thanks again.
