Falcon 030 clock patch V2 install

[exxos]

This page is a quicker / cleaner install guide for the Falcon buffer patch V2.

If anyone has better images or videos then please let me know! These images were taken a long time ago across various batches of the V2 series.

NOTE: Any previous clock modifications need to be totally removed. Please don't start changing how this patch is installed! You will change how it fundamentally works and will likely break something!

Like other packages solder the pins and collect the power from the GAL.

Then wire up as shown below.

Note that in the above image the top part of R216 was broken so I had to use the via as my solder point.


Later batches of the V2 have a selectable delay by the jumper as shown below.

DELAY OFF - Should be used for stock Falcons.
DELAY ON - is to mimic the delay in the Falcon clock patch (bus speeder) for the SDMA.


On the SDMA end a 100K connected as shown below. Be careful not to short out on the via!

Proving the exxos clock patch solves noise problems with ACE TRACKER.
