Installation Instructions for Amiga 600
If you have no prior experience with installations of computer components or if you
feel uncomfortable with doing the installation yourself, please let an authorized Amiga
dealer perform the upgrade for you. Neither Amiga International, Inc. nor Vesalia
Computer will be responsible or liable for any damages caused by improper
installation of the 3.1 ROM chip.
Before any internal expansion is installed, the system must be turned off and disconnected
from the power supply. All cables for external peripherals should be disconnected from the
system. To avoid damages by discharge of static electricity, please touch a grounded metal
surface before you begin with the installation of the 3.1 ROM chip.
Then proceed as follows:
■ Place the Amiga 600 unit upside down on a flat surface. Remove the four screws that
secure the case.
■ Turn the unit to normal, facefront position. Flip the top cover including the keyboard
assembly backwards carefully. Please make sure the cables are not damaged in the
process.
■ The floppy disk drive is secured by one screw inside the case and two screws on the
backside, remove all three and then remove the drive. Please note the alignment of the
ribbon cable and the power supply connector.
■ The shield is secured by one screw and several lugs. Remove the screw and bend the lugs
open to remove the shield.
■ The Kickstart ROM is the only chip in the Amiga 600 that sits in a socket. Remove the
chip with a suitable tool (e.g. a screwdriver), please be careful and make sure you don't
damage the socket or the mainboard.
■ Now the Kickstart 3.1 ROM chip can be put into place. The alignment of the chip is most
important, please make absolutely sure that
- the marks of the chip and the socket match, both notches must be on the same side and
- the spare pins of the socket must remain free on the marked side (left). You have to
align the ROM chip to the right side of the socket.
When done, press the ROM chip firmly into place, be cautious not to bend pins.
Warning: Failure to align the ROM chip correctly will destroy it!
The installation is complete. You can reassemble your Amiga 600 now.
