Mclaneinc Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Sounds like the cable isn't getting picked up at all.. PS, there's an easy way to tell if the cable is being seen, put some cas and ATX files on the cart. If the cable is not being seen it won't show those file types on the cart..(if memory serves me right, tmp as always will correct me if I'm wrong) Edited February 2, 2021 by Mclaneinc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARIO130XE Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Is there still a way to order such a SIO to AVG cart cable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) I'm not sure if Mario was try to point out to the other guy he might want to get a new cable from somewhere, obviously if its for Mario then no issue.. Just us lot in poor old blighty I'd have helped but I passed on all my spare parts to people on the forum..

MARIO130XE Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Thanks for pointing me to the shop.? I need the cable for my own cart. But unfortunately, I just have checked my cart and realized, there's no connector on my pcb for such a SIO cable.? Could someone help or instruct me to solder the cable directly to the pins on the pcb? I need to know, which colour I have to solder to the pins from 1 to 6 at the pcb from top to bottom. Or someone could point me to the right connector so I could buy it and try to solder it on my pcb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario, I went through my spares drawer and just in the corner were 2 of the connectors you need, you are more than welcome to one , If you PM your address I'll get it in the post.. Best to have the connector as its neat and unplugable.. If anyone needs the last one then please pm me..

MARIO130XE Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Yippeee The cable and the plug arrived yesterday. A little soldering and milling and voila ... Thank you so much, tmp. It's working like a charm. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open for adding features? AA users will surely give you dozens of ideas what could be added. I would like to see some kind of AIO device, meaning a PBI device that is more than just one upgrade (IDE-upgrade/interface, XRAM-upgrade, sound-upgrade/sound-add-on, gfx-upgrade, OS-upgrade/switcher, etc. all-in-one).

Man, I was *just* in my 800XL yesterday. Damn my eyes for deciding to keep the shield.. ? I should put all the recommended PCB mods for each model in one place.
