Tested the card again, none of the chips gets hot, all of them normal temperature (don't heven noticed any warm), tested the card on another motherboard (same result), now will test the simms on a pentium 100 or a 486 (if i can find one) to see if they are damaged.
Zetr0, you were saiyng to test with a multimeter, i have one, can you show on the hawk picture the points were i should test? Thanks for the help.

Sorry to bring this up again but still no luck with 8mb simms (tested most of them on a pentium100 system and all ok, only don't work on the Hawk) , but can i trie to switch the pal ships ? if some are bad then the card won't even boot with 4mb right?
Other question... are they all the same? why are some solded and others mounted?

ps: i'm asking this questions about the Amitek Hawk 8mb/fpu card.

@JLPedro

my friend,

PAL chips, (PALice) are Programmed Array Logic, so each chip has a specific method of quanting signals and outputs. changing them around wont make any difference and will only make the logic completely out of wack.

If anything you will need a Pre-programmed PAL chips to replace the ones that are specific to each socket on the board.
