How to solder a level 7 interrupt button into an A1200?

[Johan Samuelsson]

I have an A1200 with a Blizzard 1260, and I want to install a level 7 interrupt button, bur how?
Can anyone help out or link to a tutorial?

[ChaosLord]

And why would a sweet innocent musician such as yourself, want such a button?  :-)

[meega]

Obviously, to be able to push it. :lol:

68060 datasheet. This might help, especially page 8-12. Certainly more useful than the last two comments.

for this reason, kn****ad!

Doing some Amiga bending?

Considering the lack of A1200's available and out there in general supply. Why would anyone be experimenting with a machine like this.. Considering price and availability of machines today I would hope people would be doing less hardware projects to keep the machines as readily available as possible.

Yeah, too right! Everyone: STOP having fun with your Amigas! Put them back in their boxes and keep them preserved for future generations!

Ummmm, no.

ouch... so i have to solder on my 1260?
i wouldn't wanna destroy that.
can i solder on the accelerator connector instead?

I'm gonna make my dream of a house sided with new old stock, pearly white Amiga's come true this night! Of course, I'll remove any leaky batteries as necessary.

I would say so, although I'm hardly an electronics guru. I found an article in the september 1992 issue of CU Amiga where a pause switch can be fitted to an A500 in this manner, connecting the 68k's HLT pin to ground using the expansion port on the side.

I can send you a scan of this article if you think it may help. But I would think that triggering a Level 7 interrupt is a little more involved.

Hope this helps you in some way.

P.S. Google this for a list of pinouts - Amiga 1200 CPU Pinout

AmigaKit seem to have a healthy supply of A1200's

And really guys, Spot asks a serious question and you insist on spamming this thread with (unfunny) humor. Shame on you all!

You have to be nuts if your thinking of circuit bending anything 'Amiga' in my opinion.

[countzero]

isn't it possible to do this in software ? write a small program that generates a L7 interrupt at a special key combination ? and put it in wbstartup or something ?

[Johan Samuelsson]

a software version is useless.
i want to activate hrtmon.
