AMIGA 500 ROM REPLACEMENT ADAPTER FOR REV. 6 MOTHERBOARDS

A500 Kickstart ROM replacement/switcher adapter for REV.6 Motherboards. (Keyboard friendly)

Hello,

This is a tested and working circuit board.

This A500 Kickstart ROM replacement adapter easily fits A500 REV.6 Motherboards.

This ROM adapter is specialy designed suitable to the Amiga 500 keyboard position.

REV. 6 Amiga 500 motherboards mostly produced with v1.3 ROM (315093-02)

With 27C160 EPROM you can select and use 4 (4 banks x 512KB) different Kickstart ROMs

With 27C800 EPROM you can select and use 2 (2 banks x 512KB) different Kickstart ROMs

With 27C400 EPROM you can use only 1 (512KB) Kickstart ROM (If you are using 27C400 eprom then you do not need to use this adapter for REV.6 boards, you can just insert 27C400 directly to the ROM socket.). If you are using this adapter with a 27C400 EPROM then pin1 and pin42 of the eprom socket should be left empty.

If your binary ROM file is 256KB then you should append it to itself to make a 512Kb file. You can simpy do this with a "HEX-Editor" program.

You can also use Amiga diagnostic ROM (DIAGROM) with this ROM Adapter.

For reading original Amiga ROMs or for programming 27C400/800/160 with a "TL866 Programmer" you need to make this eprom adaptor. (It has 2 switches on it and helps you to program 27c160 eprom in 4 steps, each 512Kb bank in one step)

This project only includes a specially designed PCB. No Amiga ROM file will be shared.

WINUAE Emulator .ROM files are not suitable for eproms, because they are byte-swapped files, they do not work. You need Binary ".BIN" ROM image files. You can find more information on the internet forums.

This ROM replacement adapter is not for A500 REV.5 Motherboards. If you need a ROM adapter for A500 REV.5 motherboard you can find it here;

ALWAYS TURN YOUR AMIGA OFF BEFORE CHANGING/SWITHING BETWEEN DIFFERENT ROMS!

As you can see, I have uploaded many projects and still working on new projects. If you have any questions please search answers from the internet. Unless I explicitly stated, all my projects are tested under normal conditions and confirmed to work before being shared. I am sorry not having enough time to answer all the questions.
