It would almost qualify as an assembled from spares, but it's not, quite...

NTSC and 120V.

Actually, I tried the adapter and it wouldn't work.  Double checked the traces using a magnifier and couldn't see anything wrong, but with the adapter in place, the computer was a no go.

You know there is an adapter Kipper2k makes that'll move that RAM board back further in the case so you can close it, right?  Of course then it would probably interfere with the Megachip.  Sometimes ya just can't win.  Good luck on your auction, anyway!

Yeah, the mouse is basically a throw in.

I never bothered getting the programs to activate the scroll.  They would probably work with a decent mouse.

Strange the scroll doesn't work, there are a couple of programs I used off aminet to get my scroll wheel working.
Would have to try and get my A1200 working again to see the startup-sequence though :-/

@Lurch.

Well, now I feel better that it's not just me!

Wonder what the problem is.  Normally kipper's stuff is iron-clad reliable.

The kipper RAM expansion works just fine without an adapter.

However, quite often the RAM expansion forces the cpu up too high for the keyboard to fit properly in place.  It touches and lifts the keyboard up about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch.

For some strange reason some keyboards and cases fit just fine, but others, not so much.  Not sure how or which ones.

You don't need the adapter to use with a Megachip, at least not on a rev 6a motherboard.  The rev 5 motherboard has things a little closer and the RAM expansion and the Megachip overlap for a few milimeters.

Indivision ECS doesn't have a problem with either the RAM expansion or the Megachip.  I believe the cpu adapter may conflict with the Indi, but since I'm not using the cpu adapter, I'm not sure.

Another note.

If you're suing a ROM switch, you will probably want to lift the RAM expansion up a level as most of the switches are just too high to fit it all together (RAM expansion, Megachip, ROM switch).

Hope that answers your questions.  If not, shoot another one over!

USING!

Fat fingers strike again!

Or is that dyslexics of the world untie!:hammer:

"Suing a ROM switch?"

[curtis]

Same guy!

Is that like the dyslexic devil worshiping teen who sold his soul to Santa?
