I bought a "Sparrow '030"-Revision2 from Atari OZ just before they
closed operations (they told me it was a Falcon). I managed to use its
memory and hard drive (which crashed shortly afterwards) in another Falcon
which I bought from Atari Beneluxe (sp?) in Holland. The Sparrow is now
just sitting on my desk as a very expensive paperweight. I am wondering
what can be done with it.
From the outside it looks exactly the same as a Falcon (with a Swedish
keyboard) and has the same ports as the Falcon, but the borad is quite a
bit different. The TOS chips (yes there are two) contain TOS 2.07. I've
tried burning TOS 4.04 into a couple of eproms - but this didn't work.
It has a DSP chip, and several graphics/sound chips which I can't identify.
It also won't give out a proper signal to a VGA/MVGA monitor - the sync
is totally out.
Can anyone supply information/advice on the possibility of upgrading it
to a Falcon?
