I’m actually after your superior form factor. The low rise will allow my terrible fire to sit over it without risers. It’s been a battle getting everything to fit as is.
My current megachip will certainly be back on the market once I purchase an ace2b.
If we are going from an existing Megachip to the Ace2B on a Rev 5 Amiga 500 and we have already cut the trace (step 9a (or Figure 7) here http://amiga.resource.cx/manual/MegAChip.pdf), do we need to re-connect that trace or can we leave it severed?
Just a heads up on this... I purchased a straight line proc re-locator for my TF536 (rather than the Angled re-locator they are typically supplied with).
With this re-locator I clear both the iECSv2 and my mega-chip without contacting the Keyboard or top case in anyway.
My cursor bouncing issues are resolved and the iECSv2 works BEAUTIFULLY in this configuration. So if anyone else runs into a similar issue, a simple straight line re-locator will clear all of the vital bits.
After a bit of fiddling I finally got my Indivision ECS V2 to display full screen at 640x480 (hi-res int) while on the workbench. But when I load a game it shifts down and to the right so portions of the screen are off of the display. Seems to happen in every game and demo I load up. I'm assuming it's the default low resolution of the game battling with the vga resolution set by the iECSv2.
I'm assuming I messed something up in the process of getting the workbench to fill the screen. Any advise on where I can poke about to resolve this? Do I need to lower my workbench res or vga res perhaps?
I'll be on the lookout for the new ACE2!
Thanks!
By the way, I am not blaming the Indivision ECS for not working with some generic piece of kit. It works perfectly with the extender taken out of the equation. It’s just something with this eBayed extender...
I worked out the troublemaker, unfortunately I don;t see a way around it. I have this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Flexi…i-computers-/333301477068
To move my TF536 over a few inches (using plastic standoffs so it doesn't make contact with the board. I have this because I have a megachip coming in the mail in a few days and the above flexible rellocator is the only way I can move the TF536 so it will clear the taller Agnus stack. So it seems I may need to decide between mega-chip, TF536 or Indivision... I apparently cannot have them all because the indivision doesn't play nicely with the flexible processor extender.
The rellocator does work fine with standard Denise though... maybe s-video will just have to be good enough.
Pin repaired, everything is working exactly as before. Jumping mouse, but perfect crystal clear video. It's so close I can taste it...

In a standard state, all works as expected. Add in the Indivision EVS and the mouse does the electric boogaloo all over the screen.
Oof... well looks like you guys are off the hook. In constantly swapping my denise back in to be able to use mouse I managed to snap a leg off of the indivision ECS V2. I'm going to to solder a peg in place and permanently attach it to a standoff to try and get it usable again, but I appreciate that the snapped leg probably voids the warranty.
Do I need to buy another one in order to qualify for support for this issue? Would I likely see the same unusable mouse cursor with another one?
I added the Indivision Config Tool to prefs and ran it. I ran both "Firmware Flash" and "Firmware Flash File", after reboots on each there is no change to mouse cursor behavior. It jumps all over the place to the point of near un-usability unless I reinstall the original Denise.
Is there a different/more recent firmware file I should be downloading other than what comes with: http://wiki.icomp.de/w/images/…ivisionECSv2-20190516.lha
If so where do I get that newer firmware from.
Wanted to clarify, this is a brand new mk2. Just bought from Individual Comp and installed when it arrived today. This was the immediate effect.
