Pigs and Faecal matter

It also ran fine on my A1200 with OS4, apart from the serial line debug upsetting my midi gear :-D

Hi Wilse,

So the midi works as well? Cool - I never tried it.

AFAIK, octamed kinda bangs the serial port directly for MIDI. It works on the A1200 where the hardware exists, never tried it on an A1.

Speaking of which, I think I may have frazzled my A1's cpu |(not switching on). Would it be possible to check this with a null modem connection?

Well, I'd imagine you are out of luck - if the CPU is dead, in theory nothing (other than fans and drive motors and other such mechanical things) should work. I can't see how you can run any kind of software diagnostic if the CPU itself isn't able to function.

If it isn't too painful a question, what did you do to it?

[Karlos]

Gah, that bites :-(

I take it a replacement CPU us out of the question?

[Karlos]

I wonder if there are any people that screwed up their motherboards but have an intact megarray thingymabob they'd be prepared to part with?

[Karlos]

You might put the question to the people at amigaworld.net. I do remember ages ago someone there shafted their motherboard, but wether or not they have any suitable spares I have no idea. In any event, there's a bigger concentration of A1 owners there...

@Wilse

Well, here's hoping an amicable solution presents itself sometime soon.
