Hawkeye/Kefrens ³¼LEVEL 7 SWITCH¼³ ¹ The following short article will explain how to make a Level 7 Switch. The modifidation is ofcourse 100% tested so if you make a mistake, dont blame me. This modification is mostly for coders but maybe other freax can use it too ??? Anyway, it makes and external Level 7 Interrupt on the IPL (Interrupt Priority Level). It is great if you use ASM-One. Now you just have to se level 7 in the preferences and when pressing the button it'l jump out of a routine, demo or whatever. So finished with mouse-checked exits !!! The first thing you have to do is to open the cabinet by screewing the 6 screws in the bottom off. Now remove the keyboard and the metalcabinet. When this is done we are ready...Heat up your soldering iron and locate the CPU. It is located most left in the Amiga and got the text: 'Motorola 68000' printed on the top of it. Now find leg 23, 24 and 25 by counting like this: (The pic. is turned upside down) _____________ 1| |_| |64 2| |63 3| |62 4| |61 5| |60 6| |59 7| |58 Etc Etc. Solder a diode (1N 4148) on each leg (23, 24 & 25) with the little mark away from the 68000. Solder the lose ends of the diodes together with a wire and in the end of the wire you place a momentary switch. Find leg 16 on the 68000 and solder a wire on it. And at last you solder the wire on the other side of the momentary switch. Now we are almost finished and you just have to put you machine together again. Drilling a hole and placing the switch there is mostly recommended. There's a good place to put switches on the back beside the Joy-connectors. Or under the internal diskdrive. But you can also just let it go out at the ramexpansion.
