Apple3

[Hull_chipper]

I've just fitted the Apple3 to a v7 & given it the once over.

Verdict - I'm impressed, boots everything I throw at it (from the browser and reset) including the all time worst disc ever, Bulkpaq greens.

Peeps are getting used to lower wire counts now so the 22 here (+ colour fix) won't appeal to a lot but the price will. This is by far the cheapest chip compatible with ALL versions.

I have a v9 coming in tomorrow so I'll fit my other sample in that one & see if the reliability is maintained.

Bulkpaq!!!!EEEEESH!!!!

Bighap has always had good thangs to say about apple line of mods. It seems to be a pretty good chip.

Version 7 seems to be best model for most mods though. I loved my version 7 and m2 1.31. Now have version 9 with m2 1.33b and it not a patch on the version 7.

Well yeah ... them too! But now that the apple3 supports V1-V10 ps2's and all regions in one chip this makes me very happy.

be alot cheaper too because if u didnt do as many magic v's anymore u could get more apple 3's and it would be cheaper 2 u beause u bought in bulk.

Sorry for the delay folks but heres the 2nd part of my test.

Fitted my last Apple3 into a v9 this evening & the results were exactly as expected. 100% boot rate 100% of the time both from the browser and by tapping reset.

I will admit to having been baffled when I realised there is no point '6' on the v9 diagram (take a look at the v7 diagram www.apple-chip.com then again at the v9 & you'll see what I mean). Once you realise that's what the jumpers are for, everything becomes crystal clear.

With 21 wires (+ colour fix) & only 5 to the via's (I think we are all happy with the via's now so they're irrelevent) the Apple3 boots just as well as the Messiah2 with less wires & considerably less cost!

I'll stick with the Duo's for v3-8 but this is 'one chip fits all' & I think will become very popular over the next few months.

Ukmodchips will definately be stocking this chip (Plug)
