Hi folks,
I received my Incognito´s from Lotharek last friday ?, so I´ve tried yesterday to install it.
But I faced a couple of issues...
After some small hurdles, I can register now also a partial success ?.
Here briefly to the little problems & their solution:
Problem number 1:
The cable used in the documentary and in the howto video (FJC) does not match the one currently delivered from Lotharek!
Currently stuffed with white connector (instead of a black connector) is delivered and: the cable colors doesn´t match (!), so be careful while installing!
Here for you briefly the affiliation of the colors:
"Description" vs "delivered", seen from the outside (PCB edge) to the inside (see also on the photos)
1. yellow -> black
2. red -> red
3. black -> white
4. blue -> yellow
5. white -> orange
6. green -> green
Problem number two:
My CPU board does not match the one in the description.
My 800´er has the ANTIC:
a) rightmost at the edge and
b) "the other way round", i.e. pin 1 is located at the bottom of the board (not at the top, as in the documentation)
I have taken all this into account and adjusted it, the two 670 Ohm pulldown resistors have also been replaced by 2k Ohm resistors (see pictures).
After switching on the 800, he also starts ?, initializes the realtime clock and boots into the Icognito Sparta DOS .
However, I have no way to get into the "Incognito Menu" ?.
It is also not shown while booting, but the computer boots immediately into the Spartados....
Does anyone have an idea, what could be the reason ? ?
Thanks for any hints...
