Mini Megi Chip

[VingtTrois]

Hello,

I've a technical question. On a MiniMegiChip: is it possible to remove the AGNUS - NTSC version (8375VBB  318069-11) by the Pal version (8375VBB  318069-10 on a socket ?

Thanks you for your answers.

@alexh: sorry for the mistake, yes ! PAL version 318069-10 not -11 !!!

a different clock crystal might be needed.

..and so ? What can I do for this "different clock" ?
But is it not enough space to install a socket?

Thx you for helping me.

Yup. 2 seconds with the PLCC remover. Wince at the sound of cracking plastic because it is so brittle after all these years and plop. Shove the new one in the right way round and voila.

If you're an accomplished at SMT (surface mount technology) soldering I'm sure it won't take long. If not you could probably send it to Kipper2k at EAB and he'd possibly do it in exchange for being able to keep the NTSC Agnus, maybe even provide the PAL Agnus too as he had lots of spares last time we spoke

Thanx a lot. I'll try to contact Kipper2k at EAB.

Tried it and works perfectly. I have a Pal Agnus and can work out a swap for the NTSC one

Oki, but how to remove the NTSC chip ? I've no tools !
