I have a batch of Kipper2K designed adapter boards to allow you to plug a normal DIP64 expansions into the Co-Processor slot of the A2000 (A1500) CN600.
This saves having to remove the drive tray if you want to get access to you CPU board and also you don't need to build a socket tower to get the board over a MegaChip.

The adapters are gold plated with beveled edge where it goes into the Slot on the motherboard, also the contact surface of the DIP64 and the two pin header are gold plated. These are brand new Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp and Molex, LLC parts.

Depending on the board you are fitting to the adaptor you may need to remove the 68K CPU from your motherboard.
I have included a pic of the Max board dimensions that will fit with the case closed.

I now have 44 (Was 50) for sale to start with and will order more as needed (Was 25). (Will update this amount as they sell, also for sale elsewhere)


Prices for 1 adapter are as follows:


UK Signed 1st Class £16.50
UK Untracked 1st £15.50


EU Tracked £22
EU Untracked £17


USA / Can Tracked £23
USA / Can Untracked £18


For other locations and for example if you you to buy 3 or 5 etc I will calculate a cost.
Untracked sent at your risk!


I will only except Paypal Gift as this is not a commercial product.
TF530, A508 and A5000 seen in pics not included neither is the A2000.
You can't close the lid with a Compact flash card in the A508, although Kipper2K is redesigning the A508 with this in mind.
I have got permission from Kipper2K to sell these boards.
There may be a delay in you getting these boards if demand is faster than I can produce them.

Other Items for sale:
A500 CPU Relocator ( 90 degree ) Ideal for TF530
Kipper2k CD32 Riser - RGB (DB23) and optional PC Keyboard (PS/2) Ideal for TF328
TF328 & Kipper2K Riser v6.0

I will probably sound thick but would this allow me to put in an Mtec 68020i? It plugs into the 68000 on an A500 or A2000... I am probably barking up the wrong tree seeing as they are really made for Vampire boards?
 
Interested in one will send a PM tomorrow when back home

Depending on the design of the Mtec it should fit. I have a SSL A5000 which is a pretty big CPU card that I will check fitment off later this evening, I will give dimensions so you can work out if the Mtec will fit or not

Interested in one will send a PM tomorrow when back home

Ok will keep an eye out for the PM.

Thanks Will

Measure from pin 1 of the 64-pin CPU socket on the adapter to the top plane of the A2000 case cover (you could turn the A2000's case cover upside down and turn 90 degrees, placing it on the front and rear base walls) and measure downward. Distance measured is the free space available to the mounted accelerator card. Heads up warning that some case covers had foam glued to the underside to compress cards into the slots for transit (A2091, A26x0 accelerators) so anything within 2-3cm of the case underside should have care taken. As any adapter-mounted board doesn't secure to the front guide or rear plates, remove for travel.

I have updated the first post with a Pic of the max size dimensions. Hopefully this will assist people in determining if the their boards will fit or not.

Thanks Will

Yes, that is one of the reasons Kipper2k designed the board for use with the Vampire, as well as other DIP64 designs.
 
It arrived thank you and works great with my Vampire 500 V2

Noticed a few people are worried about it size so I took some photos of it next to Acill version of the great kipper2k design to show people it more or less the same size

All I will say is the socket holder on this one is a lot tighter that the Acill one so it not coming off in a hurry :D

Glad you got the board OK, thanks for the Mini Review / Feedback.

I wanted to get the best socket I could find, didn't fancy using SIP Strips as I wanted these boards to hold any CPU card without worry of the board popping off!
Hopefully I have built a nice Premium quality board.
 
Just bumping this up due to plasmab is in the process of getting himself an A2000 so compatibility should improve on the TF530 boards running in an A2000.
 
Updated the pics on the first page to include one of an assembled TF530 to give you a better view of how it looks installed in an A2000.
