E/Box tower - LED problem
« on: September 26, 2017, 10:40:53 PM »
I have a very strange issue. I have old E/Box tower I almost restored to "normal". However, LED for this tower got "little" tangled and I have no idea how to connect wires. This is how it looks like. I asked Elbox to help me but, they told me they don't have any information about it anymore.

I really would like to have LED in my case :).

What is it? 2 LED's or 1? What does it indicate? What if any connectors are attached and what's on the board?


This is three LED "panel" from Ebox tower, connects somehow to floppy etc.

Hi is it a Ebox power tower? if so I have one so I can send you some photos of mine...


Yes, those are LED's from Ebox tower. They are somehow attached also to floppy disk(??). I would like to clean mine and solder is "as it should be". Pictures are most welcome :).

HI

I will take some photos of mine I have to take the front of mine soon any way to fit new Power switch. PS don't get the one from Amigakit for ATX it is a lock switch and needs three presses to turn OFF.

Thank you.

BTW. I already got that "atx" switch AND I'm going to change to something else... I'm not sure why it is called "atx". I'm thinking you simply use bottom to buttons for power and reset.

Hi
 I have now worn out the bottom button due to lots of power offs trying to make my mediator and Atic radeon card work. After a lot of swearing it is now working.


You should see my room with my old HW in last few days. It is funny but I think my A1200 likes to sit on my desk OPEN, when I put it into case all soft of issues, put it on the table (with Mediator etc.) works fine :).

Are you setting up you new system? My Radeon works fine (as of yesterday). Now I'm trying to make my old FastATA work under OS3.9, for some reason it is making my HDD go faster and I have no idea how make it work. Under OS3.1 I'm getting about 8 Mb/s.

yep building new system after selling my A1200 060 Picasso IV Zorro2 system many years ago stupid mistake. Have radeon working next sound and TV card.


There is something strange about this old HW, at the end it is a pile of really, really old stuff... but I actually like to use floppies, CDs etc. to install stuff.

I'm actually quite surprise how fast 030 + Radeon is, as far as general use. I wish Amiga would have something better then just AGA, to run at 800x600 in 256 color in reasonable speeds.
