I've seen it all now, what a waste of webspace!

No, but we can blame you for poorly executed jokes in bad taste exploiting the masses that lust after OS4 hardware, their hearts being filled with hope at seeing the Headline, only for their hopes to be dashed in an instant upon realising the whole sordid affair was nothing but a callous, childish prank...

or something..

Da Rude!

@ssolie

I'm sure this has been commented before, but you have 3 A1s and a Panda? How'd you manage that?

Da Rude!

@Outcast

I'll try!

Best software release 2006 has to have been OS4 Final - even though I haven't got it yet!

My head is still hurting.

Well its lacking a decent browser for a start thats compatible with all sites.

There's still quite a few apps missing too.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissing it (and I guess the things I am talking about are apps rather than the OS) but apps do make up a lion share otherwise you have an OS thats great for being an OS, and not much else.


Does that make sense?

Rude!

@Athiest

Your post doesn't make sense?

The next big thing is the Nintendo WII.

I had some initial problems with card readers, but it turned out to be the CF card in my camera - apparently Canons can be a bit funny.

I'd buy a CD for ?20 quid.
Printed manual? Nah, put it on a PDF

I've got it.
The accelerator port is playing up, I had exactly same symptoms with my Blizzard and A1200 but forgot when reading this thread before.

It might be an idea to open her up and see if there is anything shorting the machine out upon an accelerator being fitted.

There was a thread about the yellowing on A.org a while back.

Somebody used some sort of cleaner and left the case to soak (obviously stripped the machine) and it came up as new.

Sorry, don't have a link.

Cheers, Rude!

Will do, thanks for the advice!

Its not the CPU imho.
CIA chip or the I/O chip possibly?

The 68020 is soldered on to the mobo and pretty ahrd to replace if at all - the 68030 accelerator should override the internal processor anyway.

Because this uses surface mount technology, it might be difficult to repair - can anyone confirm whether any of the chips are removeable?

Have you tried making sure the ROMS chips are in position by pushing them down? Take antistatic precautions.

Leave him alone, if he can work out Samba, he can work out anything...

Although he struggles with OS4, MPlayer, UAE, WookieChat...... Ariston, and on, and on and on
