Amiga 500 4/8mb fastmem boards with IDE

Hi All,

Just to let everyone know i have built the 4mb/8mb fastmem board for the Amiga 500. Below are a couple of pictures. The A500+ is running kickstart 3.1 and this particular board has 4mb fitted (I wanted to get it built ASAP and tested) 8mb will work fine. I will be selling it, i am waiting for more chips, as it was, i had to steal the Xilinx chip from my other ide board. This board should work with the A1000 and A2000, (CDTV without the autoconfig ram)

Price will be $74 CAD for 8mb version and $64 for 4mb version, and i will now accept pre-orders (no payment yet please)

UPDATE; 9th Nov. I have now updated my webpage with the most up to date info. Please check it out and hopefully it will answer most of any questions you may have.

http://www.kipper2k.com/amigaforsale/



Here is list of names of people who declared interest. Orders are either complete or cancelled for those shown in green. To Do names are shown in red. Once ready to be mailed i will send a PM, if no response after 3 days i will move down the list and the unanswered PMs will be in the next batch if they reply


UPDATE 26 MAY 2014

I removed the completed (and cancelled by user) names from the list and am only showing uncompleted requests ( up until 8 Feb). I am managing to get a lot of orders processed now so there is light at the end of the tunnel. I intend on completing the requests shown below later this week.

Declaring interest for 8mb version.

Interested in 8MB version! Nice job :thumbsup:

I will buy one 8 meg board please:D
pm sent cheers Blinky

Declaring interest for 8mb version.

Max cf card capacity ?

Interested if I can install in an A1000 and get 8MB RAM.

Not sure what this sentence means: "This board should work with the A1000 and A2000, CDTV (without the autoconfig ram)"

Do you mean we only get IDE out of it if we want to put it into A1000 ?

Thanks B!!

The auto config ram will not work on the CDTV. It will need the special code to prevent the autoconfig and allow the user to add fastmem themselves. (ignore unintended reference to the a1000 and a2000.

For more info on what revisions of boards require what special needs visit...

One 8mb board for me pls.....

The IDE is autoboot I presume?

Thank you. :)

Great.. Then all I would need is your A1000 adapter that pushes the board away from the Floppy carrier and then all is good right? :thumbsup:

Is the IDE auto-boot? If so, put me down for one 8MB board.

Thanks!

Heather

Hi,

cool board!

Have some questions:

-is it possible to boot from the IDE?

-what transfer speed do you get with it?

-do you need to extract signals from the expansion connector?


Thanks in advance for feedback.

Hi,

Yes it autoboots, mem is autoconfig in the A500 i'll have to dig out sysinfo, speed would be same as the IDE68k board by itself, 2 signals from expansion port, i'll post a picture in a few

(easy soldering)

:lol:

I'm interested in one 8MB version.

Declaring interest for 8 mb board.

Here's a pic of required signals (2 of them) needed to pick up from board... Only 2 wires need to be soldered to the board. On this board i had to use desoldering braid to remove the solder from the holes, insert the header, solder it and attach it so the fastmem board. easy peasy :)

(signals /OVL and INT2)

Declaring interest in one 8MB board.

Yup, That should work :)

Also declaring interest in one 8MB board, it looks like a fantastic all in one design :thumbsup:

Please, one 8mb board for me (A500+CF)

Declaring interest in one 8MB board

Declaring interest for one 8 mb board, only reservation would be to high shipping costs.

Fellow Canadian! Very cool board - 8MB, I know a few people will want one.
Count me in.

Shipping will be $9.10 by Canada Post to most parts of Europe, N. America a little cheaper, and Asia $10.20

Declaring interest in 1 x 8Mb board.

Count me in for a minimum of 1 x 8mb board :thumbsup:

Hi,
Declaring interest in 1 x 8Mb board :thumbsup:

I want 8mb one for a CDTV please.

@kipper

I can do that for an upgrade, for now i just wanted to get the CF portion working with the fastmem as i promised this quite a while ago to people. The IDE header will make the board a little busy and i can do it but with quitting work and moving etc i don't have a lot of time until after Nov to revisit this. (which probably means after xmas :) I have the Vampire also to keep me busy so time is definitely at a premium. (Moving back to Ontario in less than 3 weeks)

Nice board kipper2k like the most of your stuff.

Not declare interest at the moment...

Can the IDE autoboot from kickstart 1.3 ??

Any issue with Amiga 500 rev 5 or less?

Any CF compatibilities issues like happen in A1200 Internals CF Adapters with some kingston and others?

With the board mount can put the keyboard and close the A500?

Sorry for the interrogatorio ?¿ ;)

And the best for your sales

Dang how did I miss this? bad day to be super busy at work...

Definately count me in for 1 8 meg board + IDE . :)

this is awesome. :)

Great work :)

I too would like to declare interest in 1 8mb+ide board.


Awesome as always!

:thumbsup:

Declaring interest in 1 8M IDE board. (A500+)
Have there been any testing with other memory expansions ? (like the 2M chipram exp for the a500+ or any other trapdoor exp ?)

Hi Kipper, I'll have:

1x 4MB w/ IDE board
and 1x a500 Flash rom that i've been pestering you for please. :)

Cheers Derek

Put me down for a 8mb version

Great stuff!

Pls count me in for 2 boards with 8Mb+IDE and 1x A500 CPU adapter (if you still have any) as I need to have the 68k CPU socket on a different location in one of my A500 projects...;)

Declaring interest in a 8MB version :thumbsup:

Can you tell me if the board comes with the required software to load the 8mb ram for a cdtv.

Does it fit inside a cdtv. Your Ram only board didn't allow the closing of the lid, is this one thinner?

One of the other problems with the CDTV is the caps are very large near the processor slot so have to be bent down.

Declaring interest in a 8MB version :)

Declaring interest for another one. So that is 2 x 8mb models

I did just get one of your older RAM boards, but this look so nice I can't let it pass, so declaring interest in one 8MB version. :)

Hi Brian,

Declaring interest in one 8MB+IDE board. :)

Keep me updated my friend.

Interested in one 8MB board, but i would also like to ask what is going on with this thread in which many people, including me, declared interest

http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php...=kipper&page=5

Let us know

Declaring interest in 3 devices with 8 mb, thanks

Declaring interest too, in a 8MB version board.
