Hi,
I'll add missing names to the list, no worries, if your post is in the thread you will be looked after in chronological order.
I have to apologise for not sending out emails the last couple of days. I have the boards ready and i forgot all about the adapters so i got the headers i needed for them and they are done. I'll send msgs to people in the next little while.
(I'll also empty out my PM box too a little :)
I have seen the old kipper2k 8MB expansion work together with the Alfadata RA5-2M (without CPU adapter) to provide 0.5MB chip and 9.8MB fastmem. If you have the version with CPU adapter, I guess it should work, giving you 1MB chip and 9.5MB fastmem.Quote:

The a500 rev6a can support 1mb chip mem i believe... Can someone confirm please
Many people have done the mod on the 6a to get 1MB chip mem using either 512kB in the trapdoor or by soldering in 4 extra RAM chips.Quote:

Please can someone meassure the hight from the motherboard to the top of the cpu after the expansion is on?
I can do that later tonight. It is not higher than the top shield though. I think it should be about the same as the old 4/8MB expansion. On this board though there is an issue with the 2 wires that need to go to the side expansion connector. The connector is quite tall and is the reason that the top shield cannot come on. I think I'll solder the wires directly into my board to avoid the issue.Quote:

Just replied to your PM Kipper2k!
I'm assuming you'll include the CPU board?Quote:

Thank you very much Kipper2k!:thumbsup:
The distance from the motherboard to the top of the CPU is 2.4 cm in the position shown on the picture (I couldn't get the camera further down to show the exact reading). The top of the 2-wire connector is 3.2 cm above the motherboard. To get the board mounted this low, one capacitor needs to be unsoldered from the MB and put on its side.
K,
I shouldn't mention this yet but i am also working on a 14mhz accelerator for the a500, it is an old design that has been around. My intentions would be to implement this in the a500 adapter board itself so instead of using the regular adapter board you could use the accel board instead. I have a rough design drawn up. Don't expect anything soon. (I am just terrible at keeping secrets)
It will accept 12mhz, and 16mhz 68000 and 68010 cpus.
I just got a 10 MHz 010 in the door today, and you write this now? :)Quote:

i haven't seen much performance info on it. do you think its worthwhile doing ? I know there is aone just done on a1k, with 2mb ram. I wonder how that performs...
http://www.a1k.org/forum/showthread.php?t=33003
Compared to my 7MHz A500+ with 010, that is:
+ 42% Dhrystones
+ 14% MIPS (and +14% chip speed)
I guess it depends on how rare those 16 MHz capable CPUs are (and what your board ends up costing). People (like me) are willing to pay for the small upgrade from 68k to 68010, so surely someone will pay for a little bit extra.
It does sound like a good idea to create it as a replacement for the regular CPU relocation board so it can be retro-fitted.
Thanks mate :)Quote:

Installed mine, all working like a dream with a soft kickstart. Now just waiting for my Kickstart 3.1 chip to arrive, then I can boot without a floppy first :-). Thanks again, has brought new life to my 22 year old A500!
Is there a way to disable parts of this board?
I ask as just after fitting this unit I decided I liked the look of the expandable ACA500 and so ordered one up.
:coffee:
The two refuse to work together, presumably because the IDE interfaces conflict or perhaps the fast ram.
Anyone else tried this combination?
Until my Kickstart 3.1 arrives, the ACA500 has the advantage that it includes an inbuilt 3.1 ROM which allows the CF card to boot directly, which is a nice touch. :thumbsup:
I never imagined all these years into the Amiga's life we would have so many opportunities to add new and exciting hardware to our 500s, for years mine's sat, yellowing, collecting dust, and now, all of a sudden we have new ways to bring them up to date and make them more flexible. I'm spoilt for choice! :roll:
Dear Kipper2k,
I would like to buy a 8Megs Ram card with CF controller (with CPU adapter) for my A500!
You would be able to write it that how much the total price (card+post costs)?
Thank you for your answer!
Best regards,
Corigon
Declaring interest for an 8mb version with a1000 adapter.
I'd like to run the patched ks1.3!
Regards,
Craig
You rule! :)Quote:

so you should not build in Kickstart 1.3.
Using them both together would only work when you use the CDTV CPLD and don't enable the fastmem. Problem with the ACA500 is only the 2mb fastmem which is eaten up by enabling the AUX CF card and shadow rom. I do like it though for writing ADF's from the CF aux card to floppy, that is handy. By manually adding the fastmem, if you unplug the aca500 you can always get your 8mb fastmem back without opening up your a500Quote:

Please add me for one 8mb board :)
Interest withdrawn, I have found what I needed elsewhere.
Declaring interest in 8M IDE board. Thanks.
Declaring interest in 8M IDE board's 3x
one for me
and two for amiga friends
Has anyone tried this in a A2000 with a accelerator in the CPU slot yet? I would be interested in 1 if it's confirmed working with a accelerator in the A2000.
Hi everyone,
Been a busy week for me wit getting house fixes done and a few other things. I intend on having 15 boards done this weekend so i will continue down the list, if you declared interest in this thread then no worries, i won't miss you.
Also had some outside Amibay orders that i need to get done so bear with me.
My replacement board arrived today and works 100%, thanks Kipper :thumbsup:
Has anyone managed to boot from a patched KS1.3 on the CDTV? Mine refuses to boot.
Booting from an A590 install disk, KS1.3_SCSI and using HDToolbox, the system freezes when scanning the scsi.device.
KS2.0, 3.1 & 3.9 work fine and the patched KS1.3 works fine in an A600.

Not sure what version it is, I used a pre made patch at the time. I'll try booting from my A600 and use >version scsi.device.Quote:

Actually, Kipper2k will PM him when it is his turn. It might take a few months though, as there's quite a queue.

Talking about the patched KS1.3 to do the autoboot with this card on 1.3 systems....anyone did the patch for the A1000 (the floppy kick image)?...:D...I know it sounds strange to boot with a floppy in order to 'autoboot' from HD...:blink:...but it looks funny...:lol:
BTW....anyone tried/done a A1000 kickdisk with 2.1, 3.0 or 3.1? Aware that it is not a workable idea due to RAM limitations of a barebone A1000....but with the extra RAM...?
Interested in two 8MB boards, one for CDTV and one for A600.
Also interested in a PSX-DB9 adapter (Old CD32 type if still available).
(Emails sent Jan 26th & 29th, PM sent Jan 30th)
Hi all,
just got news that a 4th parcel was lost in Poland, Sorry, i can no longer ship to Poland without tracking (and that is expensive).
I was the 4th victim. I'll be trying to cast some light on the issue, especially that I did receive stuff from Canada before. Could the other three people form PL contact me via PM, please?Quote:
