I assume this is because Qplane does not link all the expansion socket connections? Mplane does, so I assume it is OK? -- QBBS (QL fido BBS 2:252/67) +44(0)1442-828255 tony@surname.co.uk http://www.firshman.co.uk Voice: +44(0)1442-828254 Fax: +44(0)1442-828255 TF Services, 29 Longfield Road, TRING, Herts, HP23 4DG ___ QL-Users Mailing List

anybody remember if a Gold Card 2 (The red one) needs more than bridging the 7805 to make it work with a backplane? I remember reading on my Q-plane documentation (That I do not have anymore) that it needed more work than that Phoebus You need also to disconnect a diode and a resistor, and add a wire link, otherwise the backup clock will not work. These components are located on Gold Card's PCB. I assume this is because Qplane does not link all the expansion socket connections? Mplane does, so I assume it is OK? I don't know Mplane's details, whatever these modifications are required for getting GC fully working at 5 Volt regardles of expansion type socket's you use. Remember to bridge 7805 regulator.
