Attention: This is on your own risk!

Don't blame me if anything goes wrong!

If you're not experienced in soldering, stop here!

    You need:
     - an EPROM type 27c010 or 27c1001 (this is 128K x 8)
     - a 32pin socket
     - a switch ( on-on )
     - two 4k7 resistors (1/4W) Colour-code: 1. ring Yellow,  2. ring Purple, 3. ring Red (may be Black)

     - some wire
     - good nerves

1) Open your Jaguar console and remove the shield. Localize the Boot-ROM, it's near the power-plugin:

2) Cut /CE (pin 22) as close as possible to the PCB and bend it up:

3) Solder a resistor at this pin and at pin 32 (Vcc), this pulls /CE up:

4) Bend up the socket's pin 22:

5) Solder the socket onto the original ROM:

6) Solder the second resistor at pin 22 of the socket and at pin 32 of the ROM:

7) Solder 3 wires to the switch, the main (which is switched) to the /CE on the PCB (don't make a short cut !) and the other two either to pin 22 of the ROM and the socket.

8) Switch you Jaguar ON to test. In one position nothing should happen, in the other, it should boot normally.

Normal boot-screen:

9) If nothing happens, check all steps and check for short-cuts.

10) Burn the image DEBJAG.IMG at the very beginning of the ROM.

11) Insert your EPROM and switch your Jaggy on.

12) Everything is fine, if a message screen appears, with a 68k register-dump and a blue or red border:

13) To be able to fix the switch you have now to cut a rectangle out of the metall-cage cover near the power plug:

14) Now drill a hole for the switch into the console cover near to the power plug. Here is a picture of a Jaguar with an additional reset key (the red one):

15) Prepare the cable and enjoy hacking the Jaguar. Here's a diagram of the cable connections (looking at the soldering side):

16) Again, don't blame me, if some errors occur!
