INstalling 3.1 ROMs into A1200

[Karlos]

Well, I pulled the 3.0 ROMS from my A1200 project to clean up the motherboard and when I went to install the 3.1 ROMS I wish I paid more attention to how the old ones sat. Each of the chips has a half circular notch at one side. Does this notch sit towards the PCMCIA side of the motherboard? Also, there are more holes in the socket than pins on the chips. On which side are the holes left empty?

Thank you for your help and for putting up with my gung-ho-ness (stupidity)

Looking at the machine from above, the chips should be right aligned in their sockets (which have one pin pair more than the ROMs do) with the semi circular notches on the left (ie facing the PCMCIA slot).

What you don't want to do is install them this way:


^ PROBLEM?

And most importantly of all, what is with the avatars? I've missed something.

Dunno. Must be something infectious, I guess

Where are those characters from ?? I mean I've never seen them before. :confused:

I can't say any more, I'll be accused of being all off-topic and not taking stuff seriously enough.
