Or, well. Should we create one?
There's not much or anything(?) that really needs reworking but I agree it would be nice with a better and more organised page that describes how to make the A1 a bit more like A2.
- Some kind of patch for the RTC power delivery is perhaps the closest one that fits the bill.
- The small fix on the current revision of the CKBD upgrade board if one is interested in the fan control.
(a new version of that PCB is currently on the way here and I'll update Github once I've built and verified it)
- IDE interrupt is not working on rev.A1 and it should be an easy patch, but nothing(*) is using it so it's not a big loss.
(*) if someone decides to port AtariTOS then it could be useful. MagiC normally does too but the Raven port does not.
CKBD is pretty much plug-and-play but some patch wires can be done for additional but non-essential features.

IDESwap is completely plug-and-play but also super optional and not essential unless MagiC or perhaps a theoretical port of Atari TOS.

And as I typed all that I realise that yes, it's a great idea if this was properly documented
They already are, both in the schematic and in the bomAlso, would it be easy to add in actual sockets for the 68901 etc, to the schematic?
That way we can have both the parts on the BOM, and the scocket part in the pcb.
I presume it's a chunk of extra work, for not really a lot of gain, apart from making the iBOM complete
https://github.com/agranlund/raven/blob ... -a1_bom.md
But I see that I had it show only the IC's in the iBOM. I don't remember the exact reason for that but perhaps I thought it was redundant with both there. Or maybe I made a mistake.

I can confirm that 2 32GB CF cards that did not work before are now working.
