Do you know why these have only 2Mb of FAST RAM ?

There are few reasons really.
Cost of the RAM chips is high, limited board space for more chips.
Finding RAM chips in 5v is very hard.

The trade off though is SRAM is fast and there is no need for a complex RAM controller.

I am using my TF530 with a GVP card with 4MB RAM

Thanks for answering my questions

Gonna pass this time, Interested withdrawn

hello interested, is it compatible with a card gvp hc + 8 series 2 with 8MO? and can I boot to IDE ? thank you !!

To use your GVP card you will have to set it to 6MB via jumpers.
As both the TF530 and GVP use Zorro II space for the RAM.
The IDE on the TF530 is fully functional while using a GVP SCSI Card.

The only thing I haven't tried with my GVP Card is the SCSI as I don't have a spare SCSI HDD at the moment.

okay thank, can we put a CF adapter on the ide? thank you

another questions MP thank....

Yes you can use a Compact Flash card as they are just an IDE interface.

The above screenshots were taken from my A2000.

Hi,
Interested in one for my A500. I do however still need to get it out of storage and test it to see if she's still working.
Hopefully all will be good.
Is there a particular kickstart needed for this? IIRC my A500 has the standard 3.1.

As long as you have a KS 2.05 or above you are ok.
My testing has mostly been done with e KS3.1

I don't sell the re-locator that allows you to close the case up on the A500 though, you would have to get that else where.

Good news and bad. My 500 fired up no problem (not bad going seeing as it's been maybe 20 years since it last was!), but I've got 1.3.
I must have a really early model!

Declare interest, will PM

You have a couple of options to get IDE working on KS1.3

You could make a bootable floppy disk with the scsi.device on and then get that to load a HDD.

If you have an EPROM programmer you could take your KS1.3 and make a custom one with the scsi.device on board.

Or you could buy a KS ROM of either 2.05 or 3.1.
If you still wanted to keep 1.3 on your A500 you could use a kick-start switcher. Although with WHDLoad you can just load games through that and not have to worry about kickstart versions.

I might have a spare 2.05 ROM you could have if you wanted to use a Tf530 as cheap as possible.
I will have a look after work tonight and will PM you.

Swapping the rom would probably be the easiest thing for me to do. At the moment I'm weighing up my options with this against buying an A1200. If the TF530 will give me superior performance against a stock 1200, this seems a better way for me to go.
Silly question I know, but a complete newb to upgrading Amigas and haven't messed about with them for years.

Cheers

The TF530 is a lot quicker than a stock A1200. The IDE on the TF530 is quicker than stock A1200. Has the SPI bus which hopefully will get more drivers for.

It depends on what you want to do with the machine though, an A1200 has the advantage of playing games in upto 256 Colours though.

I have another TF530 for sale now. Updated quantity on first page.

Afraid I may have to pass this time.
Been playing around with my 500 tonight and it's being a bit temperamental reading disks on DFO.
Hopefully It's just be a case of dust and dirt inside it. I'll give it a thorough clean over the weekend and try again.
Till then I don't want to commit and waste any of your time.

Thanks for the purchase guys!
I hope you both enjoy your TF530's when you receive them.

Are there any more for sale?

The last built one is reserved at the moment, waiting for the person to get back to me on another forum.
I need to check if I have enough parts to build some more, I need to find my CPLD's or order some more.

I will check over the weekend and let you know.

TF530 was received a while ago - had a bit of trouble initially .... but turned out it was my setup that was "the trouble" - NOT the TF530. Now running nicely.
Will leave +ve feedback .... very +ve actually.

Sorry for the delay in replying.
I am sold out of ready made boards at the moment, but I should be building some more over the next couple of days.
I will let you both know when they are done.

Overmann was unable to commit to purchase at time.

I have just built another two TF530's One is reserved on another Forum

Thanks for great and fast delivery!

Hello there. I could be interested on one unit but i have to make my mind first.
I would like to ask you a couple of questions related to the board.

For what i can see, the IDE connector is 40 pin? Is it self powered?

Did you try to use one of those "dual CF" card adapters? If it works as two different drives it would be awesome for information exchange, since one of them can be formatted to FAT meanwhile the other works as HD0.

As long as i find 2MB a bit too short, but not really a problem, i would like to know how could i make the TF work along some FastRAM board attached to the expansion bus.

Do i need a relocator? I mean, those sockets are a bit tall, would it fit under the keyboard?

Could it be purchased without the CPU?
In that case... Would it work with a 40mhz 68030?

Congratulations for the great work building these units.

Thank you for quick delivery! Everything is working as expected. But do you have or maybe you can recommend where to buy couple of supports that can handle board for safety , as my CF adapter with card pooling little bit board off the socket ?

And, please remember that I am very much still interested! I have set aside the money for payment. :)

I am interested as well.

Sorry guys I have been mega busy with doing 12hr shifts at work and not having much time left for anything.
I have also got to go Italy for work in a couple of weeks. So I don't know if I will have time to get any more boards ready this month.

I understand. I might have to withdraw my interest. I'll look around to see which other options are available.

I´m interested, any available?

Interested in one tf530.

Withdrawing my interest. Sorry for the trouble.
