this board requires an ECS chipset, so an A1000 will not do it. You need an A500+ or A3000. Also an Amber chip from an A3000 if you want the scandoubler.


Would an A600 work?


Nope... Well not without some extreme hardship anyway! All the chips in the A600 are SMT so they don't fit the sockets for the older versions of the chips. It also means they're soldered directly to the A600 mainboard using tiny connections, meaning removal is quite difficult without specialised equipment and/or causing damage to the chips.

An A500+ should be easily come by though, no?
Engineers do it with precision
