No problem, would be interested to see what success you have. I may have to try it on my other A600's but don't really like to remove the Vampire more than I have to, and the other didn't ever work with a Furia or Apollo A630 so probably not the best one to test with.

Happy to post you one, can do a blank board, or with a decent PLCC that I modify a bit fitted. I don't think I have much female socket strip left though, so if you have some of that to hand then all good. Ping me a message and can sort it out.

Happy to fire one over to you.

I will release the files on GitHub once it's proven what works and what doesn't too

One shortly on its way to 8 Bit Dreams.

@alenppc I think you are the other side of the pond, but if you fancy giving one a test then send me a PM and we can sort it out.

@terriblefire happy to post one up to you if you want to give one a try. Send me your address and i'll pop one in the post.

Cheers all

Have reached the the point where if any more retro related items come to the house I will be getting divorced. The backlog i have to get through is overwhelming now :(

No worries, I will have a spare anyways if ever needed.

Would be good to get to the bottom of the ChipRAM and Kick3.1 issue so would be good to see what others find with their setups. Might try softkicking it when I get time for more of a play with it.

I`d love to try one... :D

On my A600 with Furia 020 and 3.1 Rom...the expansion library choked the furia at start up....would not boot unless you enter the early startup menu and disable CPU cashe.....even after that it was unstable...I made a 3.1 rom with 3.1.4 rom expansion library...it booted ok.... :roll:
A500+ Pistorm EMU68... A600 Furia 020/33....A1200 TF1230
