A500
1. swap halfmeg agnus for 1meg agnus.
2. do 1meg chipram cut and jumper upgrade.
3. install ECS denise, (may need 2Meg agnus upgrade).
4. permanent rom socket mod to take 3.1 rom.
5. get clock port cable extension, mount subway USB ports on the righthand side of case
otherwise, pretty much done, but if it happens, and i'm needed, help metalguy66 develop that ethernet card for A500 GVP sidecars. my ideas for developing a zorro2 riser for the GVP expansion slot are shelved for the time being due to lack of soldering skills, and money to buy tools.
A1200 #1
1. swap the 040 for an 060 on the PPC board. just need to by the tools for the job, and take the time to grind my soldering skill to the right level before i have a go.
2. get some low profile 128Mb simms, as a full fat HP simm won't fit flat under the keyboard in the desktop machine on the BlizPPC. well it does, but i'm not happy about the way it fits.
3. sort out the mounting for the slotloadDVD in the wedge case, and cut the disc slot and eject button in the back of the case.
4. replace the nanoATX PSU as it seems i've knackered my current one and it doesn't provide a reliable -12volt pull down, and re-route all the power lines to be inside the case
5. re-size the hole i put in the back right side corner from a USB port from the subway to take a VGA port from the bVision
6. finally put the lid on properly.
7. may replace wired ethernet with wifi card

1. swap the bliz030 for the bliz040scsi royalmail have gone and lost for me :madashell:
2. buy another 060 chip
3. swap the 040 for an 060. another low-profile 128Mb simm to go in the socket on board, as the scsi module can take the fat HP simms just fine.
4. speed test the elbox fastata card with the new cpu, but will probably remove it.
5. may replace wired ethernet with wifi card

new sills, new floorpans, new front axel/suspension, new rear suspension, new rear tyres
and i'm currently weighing up engine options.
plus i have to wire up the house with cat6, figure out my IPTV media server stratagy, convert the loft, put in another set of stairs, kill the lichking, and slowly get proficient at programming C and 68k assembler :lol:
