@kipper2k

Hi my friend :)

1 x A600 4MB

Received as agreed on schedule. Boards not tested but everything seems to be OK.

Thanks a lot & Best wishes

Feedback on the way :thumbsup:

Hey Kipper, any news on the internal IDE to CF Adaptor boards?

Thanks in advance :)

Hi chaps

Has anyone managed to install this into a CDTV? I tried when I first got it but the odd even chips were too high and got in the way so I bought a riser board and was able to fit it although the lid does slightly touch the 68000 chip. However all I get is a black screen (even with the lid off) ?

Do the traces need to be cut on the CDTV board in the same way as HIKEYS memory card to enable autoconfig? ( I have also ordered one of these from HIKEY just in case).

I would be grateful for anyone who has installed this in their CDTV to contact me so that I can install this. (Im trying to make my CDTV into a WHDLOAD machine so have everything but the IDE solution).

I plan to take pics of the install so it may help people looking to upgrade their CDTV's.

I did try it, but it couldn't autoconfig, even with the traces cut, I think more needs to be done to get ram or accelerator cards working in the CDTV, the 8MB card did work once I used AutoAddRAM.
The 4MB card from Hikey still doesn't work in my CDTV.

But as said. I think more needs to be done, but I already have the 2.30 bootroms in their and kickstart 2.04.
I'm also out of ideas on how to get anything working.

Thanks for replying, I appreciate it. Im waiting for my hikey 4mb card so will try it when I get it (hopefully I have more luck than you as some people have had success!).

I have the 2.30 boot roms but currently with ks 1.3 until I get my ROM switcher (in the post).

I have a 2.2.1 cdtv revision motherboard, out of interest, what is yours?

Another problem was the CPU sitting too high which would interfere with the keyboard and case closure. and also interfering with the IDE68k installation.

Here is a pic of the rev 6 fastmem board attached to the IDE68k board sitting in the adapter. it all sits further back in the case and doesn't interfere with keyboard and case closure.

For those people who have already requested interest to me for a Rev5 board i will sell the adapter board to them for $5.00 and of course you will receive the Rev6 board at its regular price For all new orders, the price of the A500 adapter will be $9.50

If you require the A500 Fastmem board for any version A500 then i recommend that you buy the a500 adapter also as the fastmem board as it allows the CPU (and ide68k board ) to sit in a better location.

The adapter boards should be ready to go towards end of next week once i get back to Churchill.

Hi kipper i'd like to order an adapter for the A500. When you have the time, PM me please, no rush. I know you won't be making them for a few weeks.

Thank you so much!:thumbsup:

Hi Everyone,

Just to let everyone know that i have mailed everyones order who has paid with the exception of 2 people, 1 who already knows i am waiting for more heat shrink tubing and another that paid today (Erkan) which is too late for me to process.

I asked my daughter to mail them all for me, and she wasn't too happy when she spent an hour with a trainee postal clerk in the post office :)

Thanks to all

Great news, thanks Kipper. :)
