Yeah both banks are loaded with 12P BLCF bin. Just make sure the R/W jumper on the NVRAM is removed and key is off before trying the other bank. Might be able to confirm the engine runs and can connect with flashtool/TP.

Hey Guy's sorry I haven't tried one of these set up's yet(or even tried plugging into 1 of these early girls!), how do you switch between banks is there a jumper on them for that?

The NVRAM is 128k, so for the early 32k and 64k bins you can load two bins and switch between them - there is a jumper on the board along with an LED to show which bank your on.

Yep, definately had the r/w wire installed, was the first thing we did. I will try removing the r/w wire and map switch and see how that goes. If not will have to bite the bullet and by a burner sooner than anticipated.

Thanks for the help gents, much appreciated.

Cheers

They sound awesome! They would only have the 28 pin nvram on them though right?

Sorry to hi-jack the thread!

Before we try this again, do you reccomend removing the r/w wire to make sure that this was not the problem? I am fairly certain it was soldered correctly. Can check again tonight.

Should just need to remove the jumper on the NVRAM board - the R/W one on the corner. But, if you want to make absolutly sure, remove the jumper and wire.

Good stuff, just confirm the write wire is correct before putting on the rw jumper.
