Running into problems with my mod that I was going to try last night.
I'm looking at the chart on the back of the FB2 motherboard and it states domething like Pin 1 goes to A1, pin 12 goes to A0 and other pins go to things like D1 etc.

Only problem: There are no spots marked with an A on my board... nor a D.
I came home from the postponed tigers game last night to work on this... and hit a road block. So I tinned my wires and hopefully will get a response this by this evening (however, I may still head to the game)

Okay...need help.
My FB2 mother board has this printout:

1=A7
2=A6
3=a5
4=a4
5=a3
6=a2
7=a1
8=a0
9=d0
10=d1
11=d2
12=gnd
13=d3
14=d4
15=d5
16=d6
17=d7
18=a12
19=a10
20=a11
21=a9
22=a8
23=5v
24=gnd


I now assume that the numbers 1-24 are the pads on the FB2 mother board. Right?
If that is the case... what does the A stand for and the D stand for?
What part of the cart connector takes the A pads... and what part takes the D pads?
Got a pinout?

[EricDeLee]

hmm... now i feel like a dumbass....

I think that answers my question

[EricDeLee]

can anyone explain the J9 and J13 opened or closed thing for me?
That's the only thing I have left to do.

The links to the manuals seem to be broken. Does anyone have any saved copies of these manuals? I just got a used flashback 2 and it did not come with the printed manual.

I have the original FB2 Instruction Manual booklet, not the online pdf. If you want, I could scan it for you. It'll be only 7 pages (not counting the technical credits and warranty pages.) It'll have to wait until I get home from work.

Hey thanks radiohead, I'd appreciate that. I waited months for this unit, what's a few more hours

Atari Flashback 2 Manual Scan

Here's the Megaupload link for my quick scan of the Atari Flashback 2 Instruction Manual by request.

I did not include the final 5 pages which included Terms & Conditions, US & Canada Tech Support, Warranty & Liability Info and Copyright, or else the file size would be needlessly bigger.

Enjoy it with the one you love!

Ok, I have a feeling that I'm missing something obvious but with all the talk of Rev A, B, C, etc, how do I know what rev I have?

IIRC I purchased my Flashback 2 sometime around 2006 or 2007 but where do I find which Rev that I have and then how do I determine which of the links on the first post in this thread are using the same board...?

The online manual has resurfaced here in Australia:

http://www.catchofth...wnersManual.pdf

It is exactly the same file from waybackmachine above. I did not order this one having already obtained 2 from the US. I wonder if this is a PAL version or did they just release the NTSC version here.

DP has both the version 1 (text) and version 2 (original website graphics) online manuals in pdf format here.
