Hello.
I recently bought an XSurf secondhand. The seller insists they tested it, but when it arrived any Amiga it's installed in does not boot (dim LED, no activity).
Tested in A2000, A3000D, A4000D with same results every time.
If I remove the Mach chip from the socket, the Amiga boots (but obviously no card detected).
I can't see any broken traces with a microscope. No chips get hot. The network card seems still securely soldered to the Zorro carrier.
Obviously this is a 20+ year old card with no warranty, but do you know of anything I can try? Is it possible to purchase a Mach chip programmed for this device in case mine has died? I own a XSurf-100 as well but bought this card as I was keen to use the clock port in my A2000.
Many thanks
Chris
