To those of you with Dr. Dobb's Journal 512K Macs -- there is hope! Tonight I did get a Dove board onto my Mac that had received its upgrade courtesy of my soldering iron and Dr. Dobb's instructions. I did have to remove two of the sockets and resolder the chips directly onto the motherboard. I also had to take the piggybacked chip and reinstall it without a socket. After these modifications, the Dove board snapped easily into place. BUT--although my computer recognizes that it has 2 megabytes of memory, I do have some sort of interference problem on my monitor. (In fact, you'll probably see my message about this...) I'm assuming (hoping) that this isn't some horrible problem between my 512K upgrade and the 2M upgrade. When I know what the problem is, I'll pass it on to other lovers of (relatively) cheap upgrades so they'll know whether or not to attempt a Dove upgrade of their Dr. Dobb's upgrades. ****************************************************************************** Clyde Rogers crogers1@ub.D.UMN.EDU (this SHOULD work...)
