Re: Help needed: A600 with black screen
Thanks a lot, Supaduper! The CIA has arrived, soldered, and the A600 is back to life, the floppy is working great, many thanks indeed!
But now I'm facing a very strange minor problem: the machine works good with KS 2.05, but fails to boot with KS 1.3. It shows a blue screen.
I still don't have a diagrom the troubleshoot it, but does anyone ever had this kind of problem?
Many thanks again!

Re: Help needed: A600 with black screen
Thanks for the info Supaduper, I didn´t know that!
However, my KS 1.3 ROM chip works in another A600 board I have here. Well, at least it boots and shows the hand holding disk image. May it be patched already? Its a NEC chip, not a burned EPROM. Code is 315093-02.
However, with this same KS 1.3 ROM in the A600 I repaired, I get only a blue screen. Very strange!

Kickstart 1.3 doesnt have scsi.device in it that will work with Gayle. So no hard disk support.Eduardo L M wrote: ↑Wed May 26, 2021 10:04 pm Thanks for the info Supaduper, I didn´t know that!

Re: Help needed: A600 with black screen
Yes, this is something I'm aware of. But it should not give me a blue screen on boot, right? Well, I think I'll need to do my homework and make some tests on the hardware, with Amiga Test Kit or DiagRom when it arrives. Thanks!
