adam242 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 That's pretty... I hope mine turns out as nice. It's been a while since I've assembled a PCB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

venom4728a Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) I purchased 10 @ OKI M41464-10 off of ebay and none of them work. I have been using the factory ram pulled from my Atari 130xe up until today when these arrived from CHINA. I tried swapping them one at a time, change a top chip then a bottom chip, trying to boot in between each swap and the board did not boot until I put the factory ram back in. So, Did I buy the wrong RAM, did China send me junk, or do I need to make a change on the board to use the 41464?

santosp Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Fake maybe? I bought from this seller, although now look that for some reason he not ship in Greece. https://www.ebay.com/itm/293938013562?hash=item447012257a:g:T8wAAOSwYaNf8JQ5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santosp Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Have you try to contact with him? I think the 50$ is there by mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+orpheuswaking Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Well that doesn’t bode well. I don’t have any stock ram to test either so if mine turn out to be fake also I won’t know if that’s the problem or if it’s another part of my build. is there any way to test these?

venom4728a Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I dug around in my boxes of parts and found 5 NEC D41464C-10 the machine booted up fine with that RAM too. I tried the 10 OKI 41464-10 from CHINA again and no boot, they must be fakes. I am disputing through EBAY right now with the seller. They asked for pictures of the machine not booting. Not sure how the pictures will help them decide... Probably going to say " You are not wearing a grounding strap! That is why those chips do failed to work!" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to do with the "Basic rom" of the computer. First of all I must to say that back then during the design, I was thinking about the difficulty that someone will face in the "seemingly" easy finding of the Basic rom, in case it does not have the original from a donnor Atari. So I decided to make a change in the second and last version of the board, to give the option to someone to use a usual 27C64 or 128 or 256 or 512 eprom for this purpose. Now I realize that I made a small mistake regarding a signal, the pin Nr 2 of Basic rom. I have connect it to 5 volts. So you need to follow the photo below to fix it. So this board can not work using the custom Atari OTP rom, but with any 27C..... as desribed above. Once again to apologize for my negligence .... ? Am I reading this correctly? If we are using an original Atari ROM then this is NOT needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 So this board can not work using the custom Atari OTP rom is what I read... so reprogrammable roms will work but not one time programmable rom like Atari used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_bbs_fan Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Ok.. how do I identify which board revision I have? On the bottom of my board, I see "65XE(63X2) C103579-001 REVISED". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes the translation between the dialect of New England and the South of the US even though we supposedly speak the same English is worse. ? I was trying to get my mind to a yes or no translation of the instructions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildstar87 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I was confused as well. I can verify that you cannot use the original Atari factory basic rom, the mod has nothing to do with it. If you want to use the factory rom, you would have to create an adapter to switch the pinout. In order to use a 27Cx, you need to do the mod, it won't work otherwise. One other note, I didn't want the battery backup, so I didn't order/install parts for it. You need to jump pins 5-6 on the U12 footprint, otherwise no worky..

Dropcheck Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Having an issue with programming my GAL22V10D with Horus's v1.3 jed. I am getting a vector test fail indication on five of the 10 chips so far. I tried re-downloading the jed individual file and the zipped file directly from his website. My programmer claims it can program these chips and everything goes well until it attempts to verify the programming. Is it possible I got bad/fake GALs?

I purchased 5 and only one of the 5 took the program successfully. The five I purchased were used. I have since purchased 2 new chips but have not tried to program them yet. I have been looking at getting a newer programmer to see if that us my issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
