Okay, interesting thing... I got a working FPU (68882) from a friend, I've plugged it in the socket and suddenly the TT starts to boot - I can see the Atari logo, memory test.... Then it waits for a long time and ends with 2 bombs, but I'm still missing the DCU (UA01) on motherboard and no floppy or hard drive is connected.
I didn't expect the FPU to be required in TT to boot.

Re: dead TT motherboard repair attempt
I can't remember if TOS 3.06 bombs without a floppy or not. If you have one laying about you could pop one on I imagine.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

That's even more interesting trivia, thanks czietz.
Re: dead TT motherboard repair attempt
Okay, nice to know... This one seems to be sorted out by plugging in the new FPU.
So I'll got some other problem, which won't be fixed just by plugging in the floppy...
