Hi Franco,

Thomas is looking but I think the ones you pointed to cannot be used, they wouldn't fit..

Cheers,
Ron

Hello Palpatine/Ron:

I wonder what's the status of my board. I know DCE will not fix it but I don't know if it was shipped or not or if it will be shipped along with Ronky's board. Please let me know. Why is this taking so long? May I have some real news?

Thanks

Dragster

Hey Ron, Its been quite some time since we have heard from you. Is there any news at all? I would think DCE could figure something out to get the 68060 socket by now. Its been ages!

Hi,

First (non-repariable) boards have been shipped this week (as announced earlier).

Sockets have not been found yet, unfortunately. Most of the sockets from links that people have sent in are not usable or not available. We'll keep looking though.

Cheers,
Ron

Hmmm, what about contacting Amiga.fr to see what they use to repair these boards? They seem to be good at it as well. How about surface mounting the 060 like the PPC chips are?

Be my guest :-) But if DCE can't repair them, chances are that no-one can. After all DCE made them...

You can't do that. The sockets that were used have an open space in the centre. Parts are moounted in that space. When you surface mount the CPU you loose that space, so it's no option.

Ron

Hi,

The problem with the sockets is not only the space in the middle, otherwise it would have been long solved. The sockets also require a certain type of pins. I don't know the exact technical details but plain 68K sockets with the middle removed cannot be used. The oiginal sockets were manufactured especially for Phase5, but these have all been used for DCE production of CSPPCs and for previous repairs.

The link to the first company you sent was hopeful, but they told DCE that they could not comply to this peticular need (unlessproducing a batch of thousands). DCE is checking every link that you and others have sent, and are looking through their own contacts as wellto get the right sockets, but so far they just have not been found...

Cheers,
Ron

Hello RON/palpatine:

I read that the no repairable boards have been sent (my case). I'm just wondering what address was it shipped to. Can you please answer privately?


Thank you.

Hmm those sockets look good to me as well, but if DCE says they are not correct and wont work, then I would guess they would know. Keep up the good work and let us know the results. And i dont want my NEW board sent to Amiga.fr, I just though asking them for source may help out.
