Faulty Apollo 1240 25MHz Accelerator card

[darkage]

I'll contact these guys to see what can be done. If I can get a hold of a 68060 I may go down that route too.

I am reluctant to do any of the motherboard mods as I am not competent for that type of work so that would be getting sent away if that is required. The motherboard is an early rev need to check which one as it has commodore written on it.

 

This guy on amibay just got a new shipment of 060's -  http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?83697-Motorola-68060-Rev-6-mask-71E41J

Best to confirm your card still works with a 040 first thou.

Anyone looking at your Apollo card should definitely be able to do the timing fixes to your motherboard.     Theres also the services section on amibay.com incase theres a local person that can do timing fixes   -   http://www.amibay.com/forumdisplay.php?147-Services

Saw that guy over on one of the Amiga Facebook groups, he posted a picture of a whole tray of 'em.  What?  How!?  :banana:

You got to travel with cash to do that sort of stuff... Things like liquidation sales, military surplus, but especially, having connections in IT recycling.

It can pay well but it's hard work, and it takes a lot more than just an internet connection.

The EPROM and indeed whole Apollo card sits in the dark underneath the A1200. Unless it's been left in direct sunlight for a week or two it'll be fine (unless corrupted!)

Jens of Individual Computers can reprogram your EPROM (and I'll assume provide a new one) at a cost. But at this stage there's no need to look further than that cracked capacitor.

I'm south side too.

At minimum that SMD ceramic cap needs to be replaced. I hate these Apollo cards. Every one I have seen and upgraded is a mess. They all ahve crazy fixes like that all over them.

Busy is an understatement too, but if you are okay with a longer than usually wait time for my work your welcome to send it. I wouldnt charge much for that sort of work. I should have a working 1200 here soon to do some testing as well.
