Description

This version is pinout compatible with A1200 mainboard revision 2B only. Variant for 1D4 mainboard revision is available here.

Installation in a few easy steps:

  • remove chassis screws, separate top half of the chassis from bottom by lifting it up
  • disconnect LED module cable from mainboard
  • disconnect and remove keyboard assembly. be easy on connector!

IMPORTANT NOTE: The USB mouse module is powered from CN1 port header of your Amiga mainboard through R352 resistor, which in original configuration serves as basic short circuit protection. Under the load, this resistor inevitably creates slight voltage drop on a VCC. As long as your system is powered from well performing PSU and you do not over-stress USB port, this is perfectly fine. However, in the corner cases the voltage can drop bellow minimum threshold level, which causes USB module and/or USB device to shut off. In such a case, you are advised either to replace the PSU for one with better characteristics, or replace above mentioned 4R7 resistor with 0R value. USB module itself contains its own level of short circuit protection – a resettable polymer fuse.
