@Severin Quote: Seriously, I can't afford to donate to any bounties but think a donate button on the authors website is a far better option. As a general concept for existing software or whatever service it is: I agree (I do pay shareware/donate to programmers wen I use their software when it can be done/donate to the online radio station regularly/etc), but sputnik@OS4 should exist for this approach to work. Not in this case, the port wouldn't exist without any "immediate stimulation". Jack

Yeah, I might wanna do that. I remember some sort of switch on amigakit that mounts on a 5.25" bay for that, I'm guessing that would be the most cosmetic solution. I'm towering my 1200 partially because I'm sick of all the wires snaking about my compuer desk. (ethernet cable sticking out the pcmcia slot, ide ribbon cable sticking out just behind it, etc...)
Get a case that is designed to allow using the pcmcia slot ,maybe with right angle pcmcia adapter. I have Ateo case here, hade to put it upside down, flip the cdrom and cdrw to prevent the gravity from disallowing of placing cds in the trays, and drill the bottom of the case (that points up now, other people don't even notice, even with amiga+commodore sticker and logo upside down) to allow connection pcmcia network card. Not to mention all the ribbon cables and the wires inside the case (Ateo bus and audio cable in and out of clockport prelude, a-la some older Renault models, real noodles factory there) The only difference that there are no hanging wires outside, all are inside.

I don't mind linking to a thread which illustrates some of the issues: GX
A bit noisy there (as usual), but some relevant points can be filtered out. Now back to waiting for the reply from ACube, working week starts tomorrow.... Thanks again, Jack

What ssolie was so delicately understating was that the GX is a buggy chip and well worth replacing with a GL.

Oh, the "fixes". What are the "consequences" of these bugs? (just curious) Thanks, Jack

without needing a monitor switch/scandoubler? Thanks for any help. (I want better gfx, but still wanna play Frontier Elite II!!!)
What so bad in monitor switch or scandoubler? BTW: some new monitors have two inputs...(samsung 700IFT here has) I use here a "manual" monitor switch(with "handle"). 12US$ including vat here (more than 5 years ago). Jack

Yes.. I just noticed that. Hopefully they can fit a 750GL on there instead perhaps. I know that chip is pin compatible and has fixes.
What's the practical gain in refitting GL instead of GX? An extra 100MHz? Am I missing something? Jack.

The module had to be repaired not only because the CPU was down but also the capacitors nearest the mounting holes had become detached at one end. The capacitor rework was attempted first incase that was the only fault but once it became clear that the cpu was duff it was a logical step to try to change the cpu. The only ones available were the 7457 so I obtained some as you all know. The module sprang into life at the second attempt, and the results have been released.
Congrats on your persistence and the successful 2-nd shot   Quote: Further testing is ongoing for temperature/cooling properties but the signs are looking good that we have a repair path for the modules. The extra Mhz is a bonus. My thanks go to ACube and Max Tretene without whom this would not have happened. I don't know how they found the time considering their workload. Where's that queue? I hope that ppl with broken modules will get a priority (I guess lot of ppl will want their working 7451-s replaced) Keep it up and inform about the progress. Looking forward for an official announcement. Jack

Very nice.
I look forward to ACube confirming their plans for cpu modules.
It could be an interesting side line from them, especially if they are interchangable between XE's Micro's and any future highend products from ACube.
The module on the picture looks like A1 G4XE module, the picture is high-res enough, I compared it with the module that lies in front of me, and they look very identical And according to afxgroup who started this thread: Quote:
This is a CPU module that works on the A1 and the uA1 that use a G4 cpu NOT OVERCLOCKED at 1.26GHZ with 512kb of cache instead of 512 of the "old" G4
this is most probably the case: old module that was reflowed with 7457. A1 and uA1 modules can be exchanged afaik. As to future products, it might be wise to design a board with the same socket, but first new modules featuring this socket should be designed or backwards-engineered and a production should be established. Jack Edit: typos

@afxgroup Quote: Finally a picture!!! Hmm, the original G4 module with 7457. There's one possible problem with his. According to Freescale the CPU is designed for vcore 1.3V+-50mV, that means maximum 1.35V (there are two types of 7457, 1.3 and 1.1V). The A1 mobo is designed to deliver at least 1.34V+-50mV, that means peak of 1.39V, I hope 0.04V=3% excess is tolerable... Anyway my hands itch and the pocket is prepared to bring my dead module back to life. I hope it won't be too pricey to replace (say 250 US$ for the CPU + 100US$ for work. I hope it's a good rework facility with some QA ). And mine CPU is already removed from the module, so it might be even less in my case. Crossing fingers and holding my breath... Jack Edit: rearranged a bit

Basically ACube can repair CPU modules by replacing the soldered CPUs on the board, but you can't solder a G4 CPU onto a G3 CPU board. Better wait for an official announcement from ACube though.
Any info on when the anouncement is expected? I tried to e-mail them a while(last time: couple of weeks) ago, no success  Jack

Are you behind a router or using dsl modem's internal dialer and trying to access the A1 from outside? (or similar situation that involves firewall of some device between the machines) Jack

If the delay is constant you could adjust it via keyborad controls (+ and - adjust audio delay by +/- 0.1 second) or via cmdline (-delay seconds) arguments (quick and not that dirty workaround if you need the extra features the latest verision has). Jack
