Blizzard 1220 4mb

So I do need the 8 dil housing after all :roflmao: So does it matter which way the crystal is placed in the 8 dil socket?
 
The 1220 (without crystal but with fpu) will not work on my 1200 unless i have the jumper cover over B. Jumpers C and D i can't really get to as they look semi-blocked off?!
 
So i am thinking when i install the crystal oscillator i will leave jumpers A and B open (or jumper cover over A?) and the card should work with fpu at 33mhz and cpu 28mhz, i don't think i can change jumpers C and D, if you look at the photo earlier in the thread are jumpers C and D also look partially blocked off?

hmmm TCMSLP, i don't think you've brought anything to the table with that comment

Apart from its use in formatting and setting up CFs, i'm not really a fan of winuae especially with the advent of WHDload over the last few years..

Hi, Paul1981, thanks for that, you're right what i thought was partially blocked off, it was half covered with a jumper, so i took that off and now C is the only one with jumper cover over (Its actually labelled ABCD on the card)
 
So the only thing that was confusing me was the 8 dil socket, the way i read the instructions is that an 8 dil socket is used aswell as the oscillator and the 8dil socket/crystal combo is inserted into the empty socket of the 1220 with the notches in alignment. Daedalus had said that the 8 dil socket wasn't used :confused:

hi, but does the crystal oscillator insert directly into the 1220 empty socket OR do i insert the crystal oscillator into an 8 dil socket and then insert this 8dil socket/crystal combo into the empty 1220 socket??
 
ah just seen your reply aswell TCMSLP, so you also believe the 8 dil socket is not needed, so why does it mention using an 8 dil socket inserted into the empty socket in the instructions that Paul1981 linked to..
 
(Yep the card works fine at the moment with a jumper over B)
 
Edit: OK fitted crystal without extra 8 dil socket on consensus of opinion here and looks to be working well, let me see, sys info:
 
cpu: 68EC020 31.6mhz
fpu: 68882
