bandit Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 but this is proto - ribbon cable of production unit exits in the opposite direction, so it might be even misleading for some Awhile back I started doing some of the install jumpers, wiring ect. It was by "Stephen" nice pictures ect. but some of the wires I was not 100% clear about and also The ribbon cable you speak of, is that included with the board ? I would like to see alittle more detail of the wiring when someone starts the install that knows how to do it. I can not wait. I still have my first 800. Thanks again for making this come to light!

mimo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 The ribbon cable is included with the kit, you have to remove an IC and plug in the cable, I forget now which IC is removed, z101? As for the wiring I will see if I can find my shots later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 @candle, do the resistors at r4. And r5 still need replacing, or does the production board not need this step? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 mine has no issues with working with side, sic or robbo forever cartridges, and resistors are still as they were 30 years ago, so probably not, but then again i don't have that many cartridges - just a few, so not very representative it might be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari8bitCarts Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Can someone please post the link(s) in which help describe production installation of this board. Is the video the only thing out there? Thanx again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venom4728a Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 (edited) I am going to drop one board in to the 800 that has the proto board. Then start a fresh install on another 800, I have some better tools now and actually set up a bench I can work on. Hopefully my soldering will be good enough I will not mind sharing my photos. I hope to be home in 2-3 weeks. Robert Edited December 20, 2012 by venom4728a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 but this is proto - ribbon cable of production unit exits in the opposite direction, so it might be even misleading for some Hi there, today received my package. Great! For me the instruction to install is not 100% clear yet. Indeed: the ribbon cable. I guess: red wire of ribbon cable means pin 1?
