Question on FPU for A1200 expansion board
« on: January 16, 2009, 07:15:40 PM »
I bought an expansion for my Amiga 1200.

http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=944

Its the same as the top graphic minus the FPU chip. Its in the mail on its way to me. Can't wait to play with it. Anyway, does anyone know where to obtain the FPU this board can take and how one installs the chip?

Thanks!

It uses a standard PLCC fpu, I got one a few weeks ago on ebay for £9.
The fpu just pushes into the PLCC spcket.


Thanks Miloo.  How do I find out which chips will work on the card and in OS 3.x?  And which way do you orient the chip?  Is the chip and slot keyed to a certain orientation?
