Level 7 interrupt button on A3000
« on: March 13, 2010, 04:30:56 PM »
Has anyone added a Level 7 interrupt button to their A3000?  If so where did you connect to IPL0-2?
 
Thanks.

Would you care to expand your question?  What is it?  What's its purpose? How does it improve the machine?  Will it perfectly brown toast?

It is primarily useful for programmers; the button will let another piece of software like Hrtmon take control of the machine.  Won't brown toast but could brown your CPU if not wired correctly. :)  On my 2000 I have one connected to the 3 pins of the CPU socket.  I'll probably try something similar on the 68030, but thought I would ask if anyone else has done this...

Oh.  Cool.  IIRC, the 68030 is surface mounted.  Were you originally asking for schematic info?

CPU slot: pins 120,124,128
Paula: pins 13-15
Zorro: pin 40
U701: pin 8

Zorro and U701 have unencoded _INT7 - probably the easiest way

Thanks.


Paula would probably be a good place. Pins 13,14, and 15 are IPL0-2.
