From: DOUGLAS.GOUTY......................@f270.n226.z1.FIDONET.ORG (DOUGLAS GOUTY ) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga Subject: A1000 Rejuvenator Project Message-ID: <18566.24DF49E1@cmhgate.FIDONET.ORG> Date: 7 Aug 89 05:09:00 GMT Sender: ufgate@cmhgate.FIDONET.ORG (newsout1.26) Organization: FidoNet node 1:226/270 - Electric Chronicle, New Albany OH Lines: 57 First to clear up alittle misinformation. -The estimated cost of the project is $500.00(not $600.00) for the board and chip kit. -Greg Tibbs is NOT the president of the O.V.A.U.G, but is an officer of a Dayton area user's group. Just had lunch with Greg Tibbs Sat. after our AmiCON meeting and had a lengthy discussion about the project and look at the board. The board is well designed and well grounded with no jumpers on the board. It is all sockets and very little soldering(if any) is necessary. The rejuvenator is connected to the motherboard with some of the existing connections and with custom connectors from the Custom Chip sockets on the motherboard(all the custom chips are moved up to the rejuvenator board). The project should be fairly easy to install for anyone who has had their Amiga opened. It will be a snap tougether project, pulling and inserting chips pushing the connectors into the motherboard. Their may be some jumpers to connect to the motherboard(at most 3) to select your configuration. NO modifications need be done to the mother board except perhaps the connection of the jumpers. Benefits: +1 Meg of CHIP ram. +Total memory expanded by up to 1meg.(less if you choose to keep kickstart on disk).(total for 512 Ami now 1.5 with KS rom use) +Space for standard a2000/500 KS rom on board(use optional) Kickstart source(disk or rom) may be selected by switch(small modification to Rejuvenator board necessary). +Standard A2000/500 battery backed clock +Connector for A2000 Flicker Fixer card +Sockets Dennese and Paula on board +Socket for fatter Agnus on board The Project is well thought out, allowing for the use of the entire expected 1.4 upgrade including the productivity mode with the use of the new Dennese and a Flicker Fixer card with multi-sync monitor. Three prototypes have been built and are working. Their seems to be a small problem with the kickstart rom but Greg expects to get it worked out as soon as he gets some more Pal chips. No ordering information is available at this time but should be comming across soon. >>Douglas<< >The views expressed are not necessarly those of anyone, including myself, my employer or The Amiga Central Ohio Network -- DOUGLAS GOUTY via cmhGate - Net 226 fido<=>uucp gateway Col, OH UUCP: ...!osu-cis!n8emr!cmhgate!270!DOUGLAS.GOUTY......................
