A500+ in A500 Case
« on: December 20, 2012, 01:10:30 AM »
I just bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/251202592592?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

I am hoping to replace the motherboard in my A500 Rev. 5 with it, and have an A500+.  I hope I didn't make a bad decision, as I am just assuming it will fit in the case.  I have a GVP A500+8 expansion on my A500 now, with a SCSI card reader from Mech, as a hard drive.  I am hoping to make a pretty good system with this new motherboard, but may have messed up if it doesn't fit my existing case.  Opinions?

Well, I got my A500+ motherboard today, and have changed out the guts on my A500.  I am pleased to say, I now have an A500+, with a GVP A500 HD8, with 8mb fast RAM, and 1.5mb chip RAM, and a Mechware SCSI card reader for a HD with a 2 gb compact flash card.  I installed ClassicWB 68K, and it works great.  

The only problem I ran into, was that for some reason, it doesn't like the CF card to be formatted with SFS.  I had to use FFS.  I am not sure why that is, but other than that, it works fine.
