Re: Yet another Transwarp GS upgrade question



Well the board is old, the sockets are probably 'dirty'. See if removing, cleaning and reseating the chips clears up your instability issues. Clean the sockets too while you are at it, think bath in everclear, a toothbrush, plenty of drying time. (Caution! Hairdryers and everclear do not mix!) If the instability does not clear up, then some of the circuitry may be damaged. If your cache board has bee upgraded and is not original, get a new one from Joachim Lang, that is probably your weakest link. I'd have a board level tech have a look-see for heat damage caused by poor soldering if cleaning and a new cache does not clear things up.

Thankx,
Ed

To clarify something said elsewhere in the thread, Joachim Lang does not sell GALs, he makes 1.8 eproms available to use his cache cards.
