AtariGeezer Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I have not yet done the Incognito install. Does this BIOS update obviate the need to replace the two resistors? Nope, changing the resistors is highly suggested, if not mandatory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) 04-01-2013 looks right. DD/MM/YYYY Yes that part is true. I guess I did not make it clear LOL! (old is slow) To the Left of the Date is the Day. Mine says THR (Thursday) And today is Friday, when I set it to 05-01-2013 it shows Fri . so does everyones show the same or do I have one that is different ?

Tempest Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Sadly installation of the Incognito is starting to look beyond my abilities. Is there anyone out there offering to do installs for a small fee? I'd rather pay someone and get it done right than bumble my way through it and damage my system and the board.

I was also too chicken to install Ultimate 1MB on XL or XE. I am hoping to find someone in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 It's really not as difficult as it looks or sounds. I have done 2 now with no disasters and I am a real klutz. Just ask candle what the xegs I sent him looked like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I got my board today and started the install. Then I noticed the personality board (right name?) doesn't look anything like the one in the pictures. Mine has CO14360 (REV D) in the upper left corner. I don' know where to connect the yellow and green wires. Without those installed when the system starts up I just get a green screen. I can' figure out what I did wrong.

I can tell you on my system I have yet to hook up the yellow/green wires (P5 1,6) to the cpu board and it powers on just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 If you put the incognito board in backwards can you fry it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Yes, pretty sure that reverse fitting will fry it. You only need 4 connections, the yellow and green are not required at the moment I believe, unless you are running some pbi devices Edited January 5, 2013 by mimo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+remowilliams Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Oh that really sucks.... Uh oh. I was going to ask if you did the two jumper connections on the motherboard, and then say make sure the Incognito and the CPU board are in the right way around...

I did the jumpers on the mother board... but I put the incognito board backwards the first time. The xilinx chip seems to still be alive though. maybe there is hope.

candle Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 there is a simple cure for that - don't put any boards without reassembling the unit first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Is there a way to see if the board is still good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 plug it in, and put your finger on xilinx chip if you're not burnt then it is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 So far, I have tested 42 game carts Plus the Atarimax 1 and 8 mbit . and all worked fine. The Atari light gun also works with the 3 games I have for that, barnyard,crossfire, bughunt. I have not installed the resistors yet.

+skr Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Boom! Installed and it works from the beginning. The hardest part for me was to connect the cables to the plugs (P1 to P6), I hate those small guys... Thank you so much Sebastian, this is just awesome. I am too tired to make more pictures, but find some in my Retro-Computer album on Facebook (you don´t need FB account to see it, it´s public): Next step will be updating SDX and stuff I guess.

candle Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 there are ready wires with these connectors on ebay - just search for dupont connector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I noticed my cable seems to be backwards from the one in the install pictures. The red line is on the opposite side when it's connected to the P4 connector. So to make the red-line appear on the opposite side when connect to the Z101 I need to flip it?

+skr Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 there are ready wires with these connectors on ebay - just search for dupont connector Too late. I just hate those small connectors, but install them anyway. But I really should buy some ready made cables to have more time for the really interesting thing. Thanks again.

There is a small arrow on the casing where the red cable is. That has to be there, where a small "1" is printed on the board next to the socket. The cables delivered seem to be different than in the pictures here, I had the same trouble but it´s explained in the text too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
