My 86-yr-old Dad made friends with the staff of his local landfill, so they let him peruse their e-waste and hazmat waste(!!) Anyway, he has no interest in computers, but he brought me there, and siting on a palette with a crap-ton of old PC's was an A2000! I was allowed to take it (for free) and have brought it back to life! The ST506 HD was dead, but otherwise she's working like a charm! (No battery leak, fortunately.) Now, if I can just have the same luck finding an A3000 or A4000... Fingers crossed!

@theEIGHTBitBox Месяц назад

Just got an old 486 DX 2/66. It ran for about 15 Minutes and then magic white smoke out of the power supply - haha. Surely some bad cap. This A4000 board and the programming of the GAL's was really relaxing to see after a long working day. Thanks. As always! I learned something new :)

@HoldandModify Месяц назад

7:41 GOT STUFF PJS! Heh. That was one DIRTY board. At one point in the freeze frame it looked like one area was even burned?

@fabianfarina2208 Месяц назад

Love your sense of humour sir!

@more.power. Месяц назад

Thank you Chris you the Man. Cheers

@boydpukalo8980 Месяц назад

Its good to hear the vacuum working. Dont want dirty carpets. Can you just dunk the whole board into the ultrasonic cleaner to de-gupify it?

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Месяц назад

if i had one that big. mine can fit the 3640 Thats about it

@tokul76 Месяц назад

Everything looks great. If you ignore missing bits :)

@router5840 Месяц назад

If i keep learning like this you will have to fit an extra ram socket in my head aghhhhhh. keep up the good work.

@drphilxr Месяц назад

And that’s ThAT for tonight Mona!

@SanguineBrah Месяц назад

The bad GAL might not have been bad. From what I remember, that's just how they read back if the lock bit was set when it was programmed.

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Месяц назад

Had a fuse bit. Second one worked fine i do understand the all 1’s protected mode But rewrite should work.

@cullmaster7361 Месяц назад

Thanks for the Video Dr Chris 👍🏻 And thanks for my request to show how you program Gals 🤗 The 20 pin sockets etc.. these from Mouser? Look forward to PT2. Cheers 🍻

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Месяц назад

i bought the chips on ebay. the adaptors came with my programmer kit . They are under normal circumstances all electronically erasable unless theres a issue like we saw.

@JoeTooman Месяц назад

That's a lot of work to test a GAL. At least you found one bad one for all your effort.

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Месяц назад

So far

@ChuckyGang Месяц назад

chipram: doublesided simm = 2MB singlesided = 1M so I use 8MB simms as "2MB Chip" most as I bougtht some 100 packs of 8MB simms :)

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Месяц назад

100 packs?!! wowzers

@ChuckyGang Месяц назад

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration ebay "LOT OF 100 8MB FPM" and you will find :) double price now compared to when I bought

@slaapliedje Месяц назад

That's nuts. There is a post on one of the forums that said the jumper for 1mb or 8mb has some effect on what that detects as, even though it still tops out at 2mb of chip. I went poking around because, for the life of me, I couldn't seem to get any to pass the mem test. I finally did, but only after I took out the CSPPC and put in my BFG9060.

@jjdigitalvideosolutionsllc5343 Месяц назад

Have you reworked any GALs on WarpEngine4040 turbo cards? Mine lost all its memory. She won't work with any SIMMs (any combination) installed. She'll boot fine with empty sockets. Some suggested GALs gone bad, but that's above my paygrade.

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Месяц назад

Own one, never did one. Dont know if the code is available

@Gunstarrhero1 Месяц назад

6:48 i think you bridged a pin. that may be why this isnt working?

Can I ask - what was the temp on your hot air and its fan/blower setting?

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Месяц назад

666f or 352 metric units at 90% speed

@paulmaydaynight9925 Месяц назад

did you actually test the plugin cpu upgrade as fully working first?

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Месяц назад

Yup

@user-lq4ov2ff8t Месяц назад

Another huge effort for nothing.This pc clone Amigas is really pure crap.What expect when company try to implement technology from others in they products then fail because of crappy disain and incompatibilty betwen technologies?Well nothing more than just stuff what we see on channels like this one.Amiga newer can be pc is no matter how desperate still try to be like Pc.😁
