Secondary /int2 at the back end won't work in v402 boards with 'rev 1' cpld code. (v402 shipped before today) Using 'rev 0' enabled the 2nd /int2 (.jed file available at the www page)

What model of USB-based FPGA programmer would you recommend? As for parallel port solutions, would this work?

Probably it would work.

Most simplest LPT-cable doesn't "need" any parts except wire, or at least I managed to program some 5V XC9572 CPLD's with old PC.

I don't have an USB-based cable yet, but because the newer laptops don't have the LPT port, I've planned to purchase some USB-cable.

@mkl

Any chance there will be a new run of PS/2 Amiga mouse adapters?

Cheers,

About 10 pcs tested v402 boards available. The adapters don't have any pins soldered to the /ovr and /int2 output pads. (The booting from cf card tests were performed while temporarily holding pins in the pcb holes.)
Some are with 40-pin 'bare' headers, others with walled connectors.
Price 40 euros / 1 pce
Shipping 8/10 euros to europe/world per registered mail package.
Packs won't include free ide cables at the moment.

Sorry for the N00b question, mines the new v402 design, which pins do what on the spare I/O pin headers

http://www.students.tut.fi/~leinone3/ide/brd402.png

as the schematic doesnt make it clear (to me) at all?

http://www.students.tut.fi/~leinone3/ide/sch402.png

Im also not clear as to which of these to pins is which (Int2 or OVR)?

Thanks Mika, much appreciated - if the circuit board layout diagram had the spare io pins labeled plus a pic labeling the two points on the 500 mobo it would be crystal clear. :)

All right then, brd402.png and sch402.png are now updated and have markings for header pinouts. On the www page, one of the photos show /OVR and /INT2 texts (9th and 10th contact position of the top row)

/OVR on the left pin, /INT2 on the right pin. (9th and 10th positions of the top row of the card-edge.) On older A500 mainboards, 1st and 2nd positions may be joined into a large, double contact copper area.

Now that makes things very clear, thanks Mika! :yourock:

So for Rev6 and Rev 8 boards it's:

So I can use the spare I/O instead of the primary to achieve the same result? :)

So has anyone come across any neat tricks to route the LED Signals to the "Drive" light without a/ wrecking the wiring to it and b/ allowing the "Drive" light to still work for Floppies?

I think I'll get the parallel port cable as the pinouts seem to match. Will the software work on an XP machine?

I'm assuming the one I was just sent would be a rev1?

My plan is to solder 1st /int2 and then the 2nd ovr as the distance between the 1st ovr and 1st /int2 is far too close for my soldering skills :-)

Black Screen

My V402 IDE68k just died,Black Screen :(

I was using it with Toms 8mb RAM Board and WHDLoad for an hour or two and had a GURU message, then i reset and now the board is dead and just checked my 2.05 ROM and that gives blue screen:(

The IDE68k Board has been in and out of CPU socket alot, and also the CPU mounted and extracted from the Board itself alot, my bad i think

I have PM'ed Mika asking to buy a new board:)

I am interested in a 68kide board. Can you confirm this will work in a CDTV.

I want to connect a CF card to it. Do I need any adapters etc?

CDTV? It should work, but cannot confirm.
V402 boards are for sale, you need an ide-cf adapter.

I have an amiga 500 REV 6A and soon kipper2k's 4mb fast ram card. If i add your ide68k adapter, what else i will need to change/add to my amiga, in order to use whdload (most probable on cf card, using a ide2cf adapter)?

I would add a 68010 CPU so you can use the Quit key. Thats all you need.

Hi Mika, not sure if im doing something wrong but my IDE68K seems to be playing up?

I can boot both my CF 4GB CF Cards (1 Kingston, 1 SanDisk) using both my CF-IDE Adapters (not at the same time of course - 1x is from AmigaKit, 1x from FleaBay) but it's painfully slow to startup, takes a good 5 mins.

The first 2 mins is sitting there with a Black screen and then eventually my Floppies start clicking, then 1 minute later WB starting up and 2 mins later im finally in WB. Once im in WB it's painfully slow (barely faster than a floppy).

Im use the correct MaxTransfer settings 0x1fe00 and so forth with the usual FastFileSystem.

Any Ideas? (is mine running rev1 cpld code or rev0?)

Check if you soldered two goldpins /INT2 and /OVR correctly in place. One of the www.ppa.pl forum users have had exactly the same symptom. (connector moved by one pin).

Update to above:

My Amiga seems to do validate the disk at each boot up - I've checked and once WB is running the Validation is finished.

It is still painfully slow even with Buffers set to 70 - the fastest I've seen it boot was with just a single 501mb FFS partition as it only took 30secs to start loading the OS and was fairly responsive once WB was loaded. As soon as I added 2x 1.7GB FFS partitions it was back to being very slow.

I did discover one other issue with the v402 IDE68k during my testing tho - because the IDE connector is to the left of the CPU the IDE cable naturally wants to drape across the CPU causing it to overheat after about an hour of running. I re-routed the cable a bit to prevent this happening again.

Hi,

Is Kickstart 2.05+ required for autoboot or will it work with 2.04?

no, 2.04 doesnt have the scsi.device file in it so you need 2.05+ to autoboot.

Okay I've found and fixed the problem, the Fast File System is crap, im now using PFS3 and it has no issues and is a decent speed on my 500+. :cool:

I've changed to an AmigaKit CF-IDE adaptor (with a power mod as this one is designed for the 4000) and that has solved the overheating issue too. :)

Hi,

Just installed the IDE68 on my A1000 with a VXL30/8Mb ram. Also I used the V5 supply form the IDE-port to supply the FC.

Everything works Great,

THANKS for great hardware...

anyone know how to do the 5v hack to make the 40 pin IDE to CF get power? I ordered a 40 pin to CF adaptor from China and want to see about doing this mod.
19th September 2012, 10:34

The pic shows "vcc on pin 20" on the cf adapter so the +5v supply is connected allready. Some adapters need a jumper set for this.

I will send feedback to buyers some day soon.

Motion Seconded, also which ground would you use on the 40pin connector?
