Terry, I have a PP 040 in my 3000 and I've been wondering if replacing the DMAC and Ramsey chip would allow me to discard the phoney PP ram chip. Did your 040 need this chip and if so are you able get rid of it now. -Richard

Did >>your 040 need this chip and if so are you able get rid of it now. If by phoney PP ram chip you mean the Page Mode Zip they included with their 040's to allow the thing to function on some A3000/A3000T's, the answer is yes. I have the latest revisions of DMAC & Ramsey, and have had no failures what so ever, not to mention being able to use burst mode.

Terry, That's great news. How difficult are the DMAC and Ramsey to replace? -Richard

The chips are pretty cut and dry to replace… you will need a square (IE: Agnus) chip puller unless you trust yourself **ALOT** with a needlenose screwdriver. Terry Mc Intosh /| USING AUTOPILOT |\ LIVEWIRE Productions \| WHERE AVAILABLE |/

Is that a morph between a jeweler's screwdriver and a pair of needlenose pliers? <g> DJ

Sorry, up here in Seattle we call them needlenose screwdrivers instead of jeweler's screwdrivers. :> Terry Mc Intosh /| USING AUTOPILOT |\ LIVEWIRE Productions \| WHERE AVAILABLE |/

When I lived in the Seattle area, Nirvana and Pearl Jam hadn't been invented yet, and we called them tiny screwdrivers or jeweler's screwdrivers. I kinda like grunge music sometimes, but I see it's causing the area to deteriorate. 🙂 Dale L. Larson Intangible Assets Manufacturing (info@iam.com) "That's the best part about being crazy.
