AMIGA 500 - SWITCHLESS BOOT SELECTOR (3 RESET BOOT DRIVE SELECTOR)
AMIGA 500 - SWITCHLESS BOOT SELECTOR
(3 RESET BOOT DRIVE SELECTOR)
Hello,
This circuit board is tested with Amiga 500 (v1.2 - v1.3) and it is working perfectly.
"A500 - Switchless Booter" is a circuit for changing boot priority of floppy drives, for Amiga 500.
If you use a second floppy drive connected to your A500, like GOTEK Drive or a mechanical floppy drive, (as DF:1), then you need a boot selector to boot from the second drive. (Most of old boot selectors work with a toggle switch.)
While using "3 RESET BOOT DRIVE SELECTOR", if you want to toggle your floppy drives (DF:0 <> DF:1) you just need to press Reset keys 3 times, or instead of 3 times, you can press continuolusly reset keys for about 4 second. (Reset Keys are: CTRL and the two Amiga keys together) . 30 seconds after last reset, counter sets itself to zero.
Benefits of Switchless Boot Drive selector:
1) This "A500 - Switchless Booter" protects your Amiga 500. If you change the mechanical switch position while transfering data from floppy drive, this may cause damage to 8520 (Even CIA) or 5719 (GARY). Switchless booter do not let this happen.
2) Most users need to make a hole on their Amiga 500 for attaching boot selectors mechanical switch. This "A500 - Switchless Booter" toggles drives elecronicaly, there is not any mechanical switch, so you do not need to make a hole on your your Amiga.
This circuit has a PIC16F628A (programmable chip) , you need to download .HEX file, and program it in to PIC16F628A, from the download link below.

Round headers will be better to fit CIA socket.
Gerber files can be changed at any time. Before paying for the PCBs, be sure to update your orders!
Have fun
Thank you.
