Upgrade kit for the A3640 (2 wait states removed)

I guess there is no Amiga forum where you can avoid negative comments from the ignorant, incompetent or resident site trolls... :rolleyes:

My friend, whom I bought this kit wrote to me, that this kit won't work in his A3640.
Another friend have a problem with ROMY 4000. It won't work too. Both bought from Cosmos.

Not trying to be a smart-ass here, but instead of saying "it doesn't work", maybe a few more details, such as exactly why it doesn't work, or what's wrong with it, would be in order here?  Oh well, hope your friend actually reaches out to Cosmos and you guys can get it resolved!

Instead of saying just this, why not give more information? did your friend make a mistake? what revision A3640? what A4000 motherboard revision? Does your friend have a idea why it will not work?
what you say doesn't help much.
Cosmos makes good stuff for the most part but these are hacks
 and your milege may vary.

Amiga won't boot with ROMY installed, just black screen. The same with A3640 (rev.3.1). My friend had changed some e-mails with Cosmos, but one day Cosmos stopped to answer.

I bought the Remove wait states chips from Cosmos and let this upgrade done by Bebek. I have an 3640 rev 3.2 card.

Everything works fine and the IDE speed was indeed increased from 1.8 MB/s to 2.0 MB/s tested with SysInfo 4.0.

I also set the jumpers on the motherboard on EXT.

Hum, I reply to all emails...

I sold about 80 Romy, and you are the only one to have issue...

Are you sure your building rom is correct ?

I have from Cosmos:
A4k Romy - working with custom KS3.9 1MB. Standard KS3.1 also working
PIO2 mod for A4000D - working
Exec.library for KS3.9 - working

And I have no problem with communication with Cosmos.
I don't know what kind of support you friend asked from Cosmos, but I know from my own experience that request like: "I have black screen, do something" cannot be answered.
I can look on that issue if you wish, but I need your Amiga.

Regards,
Stan

EDIT: With Custom ROM 3.9 from you, Amiga has yellow screen. When he's using original 3.1 ROM it works fine. So, Romy is working.

But there is still problem with A3640 - 2 wait states mod. I only know that his card A3640 does not work with your modification. But it works when you insert the old chips. Maybe your chips are incorrectly marked or badly programmed?

Maybe some deflashing during shipping...

I always put some antstatic bags around Romy and the ICs... Don't know if it's enough...

When I flash all ICs, all the time, I "verify" three or four time each IC with my programmator...

Anyway and again, I always answer on all emails : with these problems, I'm ok to flash them another time... Just send me back the ICs and only the Gal plugged on Romy...

OK. I'll tell him to send back IC's.
