novoline Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hello, Got myself a backup atari ste recently and it came with this board. No idea what it does, I tried looking up the chip names but no info came out. At the end of the red wire is a female 1/8". Can anyone identify this? Any idea what could be done with it?

anzac Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 looks like a 16mhz accelerator? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzac Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Sorry, i was thinking better and it's both too small to be an accelerator card, nor it seems to suppose to fit a 6800 CPU. Check if the STe has a 1.44Mb floppy, i think they needed to work in 16mhz to read high density discs. The female could have had a 'stick' to change between 8mhz and 16mhz. 28 pins could be right for the floppy controller. It would to know to wich chip it was plugged.
