QUESTION about: ON/OFF Switch for Amiga Accelerators Commodore,GVP
« on: September 08, 2010, 09:10:41 PM »
I just bought one of these on ebay:  ON/OFF Switch for Amiga Accelerators Commodore,GVP.  It is basically a toggle switch connected to a slot bracket cover, with two wires coming out of the switch.  I believe it hooks up to one of the jumpers on my GVP accelerator.  Does anybody know where I hook it up or how it is supposed to be connected.  My GVP accelerator is this model:  Impact A2000-030 Combo, 68882 @ 22 / 33 MHz, PLCC surface mounted.  Thanks.

Actually, the model on that link is a different one that I have.  On the model I have, it says that the Jumper in question is #6.  I hooked the switch up but it didn't do a stinking thing.

I'll try it on number 6 and see what happens.

Well, I tried hooking up to J6 but nothing happened, it still booted into 68030 mode.  I tried the switch in both positions but no change....68030 mode only.  The only way I can get it to boot to 6800 mode is by using the 6800 Boot software while in Workbench.  Very disturbing.  I keep experimenting.

I did turn the computer off and back on with the toggle switch in both positions but it still turns on in 68030 mode.  Maybe it is a differnt jumper I need to use.
