[comp.sys.atari.st] Mega ST with old roms - now it works

holzer@ztivax.UUCP (Walter Holzer) (04/05/89)

Ok, here it is, the completly workaround to work with old rom's in mega st.
There was a mistake in the translation table, but now it will works.
You'll have to do the following things:
- Jumper W2 from 2-3 to 1-2
- Jumper W3 from 2-3 to 1-2
- Close Jumper W4
- Plug out chip U12 (or disable pin 12).

Have fun it's working in my mega st
