    I may as well reply here as I have an account! :)


    Thanks again for this info - fascinating!


    Would you say that it is correct to always enable the COLOR bit?

    I found this note in the WHDLoad docs, which seems to agree:

    Some hardware especially flickerfixer require that this bit is set to output a proper video signal. Therefore for best compatibility this bit should always be set. Checked are direct writes to custom.bplcon0 and all Copper lists.


    As for GAUD, I just ensured that we don't set this bit thanks to your advice, and everything seems fine on my own Indivision ECS now. :)

    Thanks for the reply Jens,


    Understood re: the CPLD. If it was broken, I do have an Altera USB Blaster and Quartus setup that I use for programming Cyclone-based projects like the OSSC - would you be able to accommodate providing the binary contents of the CPLD so that I could try to replace it with a new one if you don't have the time?


    I'd still like to send it to you at least for a diagnosis if that's okay - shall I just send to to your address with a covering letter?


    Thankyou!

    Hi Jens,


    I have the same question, hope you don't mind me adding to Paulo's post.


    A long time ago I bought an ACA630 with the 'limited edition' 64MB/33MHz upgrade option from AmigaKit, and sadly it seems to have finally stopped working. I tried contacting AmigaKit for support - even though it's been a long time I thought they might at least advise me if I had any options - but no response.


    The two A600s I have tested it on are fine; 68000s have been resoldered to rule out 'microfractures', boards have fresh capacitors, and I use a modern PSU replacement, so I'm pretty confident ACA is dead - machine refuses to boot with it attached and no amount of cleaning/reseating has helped.


    Would I be able to send my accelerator to you for repair, too? I'm happy to pay for it if it's not too uneconomical, would really prefer a working ACA over looking for an alternative. I'm based in the UK.


    If yes, what's the best way to contact you to set this up?


    Thankyou, and Mfg,
