I might be getting a A2000 motherboard and after looking at the
schematic drawings I notice that the only different between the
A2000 PSU and a I*M clone PSU is the TICK line
Question:-
What is this line for ?
Can I get one on a Clone PSU Or if not what can be done to generate
one from the Clone PSU...

Re: .0 >the only different between the A2000 PSU and a I*M clone PSU is the TICK line. >What is this line for ? I'm guessing that this is the line that the CIA chips watch to implement the line frequency timer. This timer is what is used to keep track of the time of day and (I believe) do the preemptive multitasking. | |||||

According to the theory I've heard... some I*M clone PSUs have the TICK
line. I don't know of any I*M clones that use it.

Thanks,
I'll look out for a clone PSU with the tick line....
