Hi All

If both my ebay A1200 fire up which board should I keep the 1b or the 2b. 1b has a bridging cable from one chip to another not sure if its factory or been done after ?

2b, or not 2b: that is the question.

I'm not sure what you mean by bridging cable. If it's a single wire then it could be a timing fix but it's not supposed to be required for 1b, whereas it is for 2b.

Maybe you should post a photo of what you mean.

Some older motherboards had last minute fixes. A wire or two connecting the pins of various surface mount chips.

They were factory mods btw...

Hi All

Ya PC power supply adapter has arrived. Is there anything I should look for on the motherboards before attaching power?

Cant wait to see if these power up stuck at work at the minute.

My old A1200 (sold somewhere in 2004 after OS4 pre-release release...), was 2b and I never get problems, however I never tryed a PCMCIA card that was the critical point in A1200 criticisms someway...
So that was my personal experience...
