68030 TK - Another accelerator card for Amiga A500/A1000/A2000 designed by Matze (aka Matthias Heinrichs)

Ladies and gents,
68030TK +64MB Turbocards are available, feel free to get
a fastest 030 Accelerator designed and built in Germany NOW!

UPDATE 26.07.2020
we are glad to report that testing and adjusting phase of the 64MB expansion is over,
we can ship You a well known 68030TK accelerator card designed by Matthias Heinrichs (aka Matze, Germany) now!
Attachment 159299
Attachment 159310

some of You already got this accelerator card with 4MB expansion, they can proove this is the fastest Accelerator in it's class available atm,
Now we are back with 64MB version of it, and we are happy to report that this card is working on A500, A1000 and of course on A2000 too!
Even more, it was designed as a part of expanded system, where RTG, Flicker Fixer, SCSI Devices, and other Expansions are united in one system!

Of course it's still a hobby rather than a commercial product, so everyone with soldering skills is welcome to build these,
Sources are available at: https://gitlab.com/MHeinrichs
(Free for non commercial reproduction!)

FAIR WARNING:
There are some Zorro bus related issues on rev.4.x A2000 machines,
this is rather rev.4.x and not accelerator related, hence accelerator will probably not work in CPU Slot

As always, there are some important things You need to check before installing a new card:
Most important thing here is PSU - it need to be in good shape (recapped)
heavy 2,5A (A500) PSU version will probably be too weak and doesn't work
do voltage mesurement (while system is on) on CPU socket, should be not less than 4,8V!

CPU socket need to be clean and should make good connection to the board
in some cases additional power & GND cables are necessary to be connected to the ram board
Also Your Amiga need to be in good shape (recapped) - most caps are dry 35 Years after production date
two big Caps near PSU Socket are most important!
Also boards need a 3D Printed cover on the connector that acts like a shield
(also piece of foil wrapped in a paper can do the trick)


Options available:
1) 68030TK + 64MB (card only, NO CPU) 155 Eur
2) 68030TK + 64MB (card only, EC type CPU) 175 Eur
3) 68030TK + 64MB, A500 / A1000 Set (EC type CPU) Relocator, CF Card adapter, Flat ribbon extension 190 Eur
4) 68030TK + 64MB A2000 Set (EC type CPU) CPU Slot Card, CF Card adapter, Flat ribbon extension210 Eur

Upgrade from 4 to 64MB:
Unfortunately TK needs some resitors to be changed and Firmware (Lattice cpld) need also be reprogrammed
Once this is done - You are ready to use TK card with 64MB RAM board - 70€
See correct resistor values here:

or:
You can also send Your 68030TK card to me,
will gladly swap resistors and reprogram and do a full test


Please send PayPal payments as "friends & family" or add 4% PayPal fee.

Due to the cost of this expansion, shipping it tracked and insured only
Shipping in Germany is 4,99€
Other Countries 25€

Also offered for sale elsewhere.


FAQ:
Q: Will this card work on the A500 and /or A500+?
Sure, works fine, however a relocator board is needed to fit keyboard in place

Q: Will this card work on the A1000?
A: Yes, it does, however default A1000 roms can't work on 68030 CPU,
because of that kickstart adapter is needed.
WARNING! Installation reguires some soldering!!!

Q: Will this card work on the A2000?
A: Sure, it was tested on rev.6.x and is fully functional! FAIR WARNING: may or may not work in CPU Slot on rev.4.x, runs nice in 68k socket though
Q: Will this card work on CDTV?
A: No, this card will not fit inside an unmodded CDTV, sorry

Q: Is the relocator necessary to use this card?
A: Yes, it's really necessary to be able to close standard A500 case,
to relocate accelerator to right position and add KS ROM on A1000
and to be able to install it in CPU Slot on A2000.

Q: What IDE device can I use?
A: You can use CF Cards and real HDD Drives of course

Q: Do i need to buy a CPU with MMU?
A: No, this isn't necessary since this accelerator has it's own boot rom - IDE Speed is very fast.

Q: Will this Accelerator work with KS 1.3?
A: No, this Accelerator has 64MB ZorroIII FastRAM,
KS 1.3 can't handle this amount of RAM,
You need KS 3.1 or 3.1.4

Q: Can i upgrade my existing 4MB to 64MB RAM card by swapping out ram chips?
A: No, this isn't possible 64MB RAM card is totally different .

Q: Will this card work on Atari STx?
A: Nope, this card was designed to be used in Amiga computers, however source code is well documented,
feel free to write Atari Firmware for it! :)

will it be used in A500 or A2000?
Can offer 4MB version currently, have some trouble to source parts for 64MB, so it is not tested yet..

Interested in 2 of your builds with 64mb

Interested in one with relocator for my A1000. Currently I've M-Tec 68020 inside, so it will be a great replacement.

Interested in One for A1000!

It's probably gonna be no, but do you reckon this will fit in the CDTV and still be able to put the lid on?

Interested in one (64mb).

interested in 64mb version dependant on price

Interested in one + 64mb + relocator amiga 500 depending price

Wow! Wasn't prepared for so much interest.. Seems that i am sold out for now. All 8 cards i've planned to sell - are reserved..
As mentioned above - 64MB Version is not ready! I can only offer 4MB Version, it's tested and works excellent in A500, A1000 and A2000. Does autoconfig Zorro II cards correctly and DMA works like it should.
I just started to build 64MB Part: 1x with XC95288 and 1x with XC95144XL..
https://s7.postimg.cc/o9nwwt1ob/2018-04-29_17.36.56.jpg
Last one is already flashed, waiting for RAM chips and other parts. The best part of this Accelerator - You can actually have both RAM cards! lol these are just plug & play!

@Hal & Niezgodka
indeed, this accelerator is working fine in A1000, however, it isn't Plug & Play on it!
You need to have soldering skills to be able to install it because of Kickstart! You need KS 3.1 to boot from IDE..If You have ROM Chips soldered on the motherboard - You'll have to desolder them, and it is not easy doable job, if You have not done it before. Of course, You can cut these IC's out, but who will butcher he's A1000 like that?

personally i don't see any problem to install this card in to CDTV as there is enough space. IT WILL FIT!
However, as i said You before - it will NOT boot from CD!

@DjCook yes I know. I have KS adapter with KS 3.1 installed in my A1000. 3 years ago I've made a small batch just for myself, and the remaining 9 ones I've sold in this forum https://arekneubauer.com/en/projects...h-bootselector

I currently have one of MKL's ide+8mb ram boards in the 68000 slot of the cdtv with a 1.3/3.1 dual rom and it autoboots from hdd fine when using the 3.1 rom. When using the 1.3 rom it boots as a standard cdtv.

It would be awesome to fit one of these 030 boards in there and i assume it would work the same way?

I will be interested in a 64mb board when available

Would also be interested in 64mb version

As in other thread (TF530) im still interested in 64MB Version

hello interested in one + 64mb + relocator amiga 2000 thank

I'm also interested, but I would like hear some actual opinions about this card with CDTV.

It will not boot from CD? Do I need to disable CDTV's extended roms? Or it just doesn't boot from CD? Does CD-drive work even, if it's not bootable?

Is it so that 4mb version is without separate memory module? or is there a 4mb and 64mb memory modules?

So since he hasn't listed a price aren't all of the declared interest void?

I see these messages as a placeholder for the interested persons. Since all are waiting for 64MB version only wich isn't built and tested yet - i will skip them if someone orders 4MB one - all spares necessary are here already.
The problem is that some parts on 64MB board are unavailable. I have contacted someone who is able to ship these chips to me, will see will i get them or not..

I have posted a link to Matzes Github in the first post of this thread, so persons with soldering skills can build their own cards. Will be happy to help.
Refards,

-Viktor

Ok, i will take the 4MB version. Hope to get final 64 one :)

Ok I’ll put my name down for 1 x 4mb version and 1 x 64mb version if this helps your list for costing to manufacture

You can have 68030 TK with 4MB now, and grab 64MB addon later ;) swapping them out is very easy lol cause RAM/IDE part is detachable

Ok DJCook your the boss lol but one is for an A500 and the other is for an A2000 and has you said I’ll go for the 64mb upgrades when you have sourced parts for them

4mo for A2000 interested thank you... :)

Im also interested in the 64mb version when released for my CDTV so please add me to the list.

I will use in a 500 and 4 meg is ok. I will need relocator.

thanks

Interest in 1x A500 4meg complete board with relocator. Also interest in 1x 64meg module when available.

Ok Community :grouphug:,
coming up with following news:
1. have contacted Matthias - he allowed me to offer he's cards here. We have reached an agreement that i am responsible for the cards i've built, and i will give support for them. Need to say, i'm really happy that this was sorted and i can start shipping cards for the persons who are interested to get 4MB version.
2. According to the info i got from 1k.org - 64MB RAM part wasn't released oficially, it's still in developement (there is an error on PCB that needs to be corrected with flywire: not sexy, i know, but it works at least! will build and help to debug as much i can. Will also offer these if all works as it should.
3. have sourced all parts for 64 MB - ordered, waiting to arrive to build, and tests can begin!
4. New A1000 relocator is needed, the one i have will not fit, have started to build a new one hope to finish it tomorrow
5. have done final calculations for parts including shipping, my work, A500 relocator, soldering materials, etc, etc.. final price for A500/A1000 version is 175€ i hope, RAM price will not rise too quick, as it was with TF530 SRAM's, and i will be able to offer this price constantly. A2000 version will be a 185€ because of relocator, it is huge, also postage fees for A2000 will be more than A500/A1000 - because it exceeds allowed dimesnions and need to be sent as a parcel. We can discuss part prices - it is allowed by forum rules, if someone can offer cheap spare parts to me - please let me know, i will be glad to go lower with final price then. Most expensive are:
CPU: 68030/50Mhz 30€
SRAM: 27€+shipping (DigiKey)
Lattice cpld: 12€+shipping (DigiKey)
Two 4-layer boards 14€
CPU socket: 10€
Xilinx cpld: 9,70€

Forgot to mention before - will add this info on the front page: This 4MB RAM part fits also Harms Professional 030, making it working with autoconfig SRAM and IDE (needs 2waitstates for RAM and 2waitstates IDE Firmware! ), so it is very interesting for persons having Harms 030 without RAM Board!

Here is the List of Users who declared interest in that card. I will contact each person with PM and ask about purchase. As i currently able to supply 4MB version only - need to sort out is the person still interested or not.

PayPal as a friend/family or add 4% to cover fees
Also IBAN payment is accepted

Postage fees for A500/A1000 versions are 6,50€ to any country (tracked & insured)
Waiting for A2000 delivery to be able to calculate correct postage fees
regards,

-Viktor

Viktor, does the A1000 relocator need to be modified due to space, or does it not work at all? I was planning on building myself one of these accelerators and using the same relocator that worked with the TF530. I can redesign it if I need to.

Let me know what needs to be done here. I’d like to have a relocator that works for both.

Thanks!

Hello. Im definitely interested in a 4meg card with relocator for the a500. I cant pm until I post twice so this is my second post to say Im still interested and now I will try to pm you again. Thanks

Hello EzdineG,
yes, indeed, need to be redrawn because of space, your relocator works fine, but doesn't allow to close the case..

https://s14.postimg.cc/49yj8v2n5/IMG...29-_WA0089.jpg

As You see - we need to move it to the right side also a little bit backwards like this:
https://s14.postimg.cc/5c8prio29/201...1_06.44.19.png

This position will allow tou use it for both accelerators: TF530 and 68030 TK then. I will send You PM with dinensions.

Viktor

Hi,
I am interessted in an A2000 relocator board. Will send you an PM

PM answered
Here is once again List of Users who declared interest in that card. I will contact each person with PM and ask about purchase. As i currently able to supply 4MB version only - need to sort out is the person still interested or not.

ok, thanks for the update, but i will withdraw interest

Cheers for the update I’ll only go for 1 now (A500 version)

And when I have more funds may go for one for the A2000

So if i got You right, You are still interested?
Please confirm..
Continue to test this accelerator, to be sure there are no "surprises". Have finished to build Trapdoor expansion with GARY adapter. This hardware expands ChipRam on stock A500 to 1MB and gives additional 1.5MB of Slow ram. Was very exited to test it, and here we are:

https://s14.postimg.cc/myh1fjfmp/20180501_215926.jpg

As You can see - memory is recognised correctly, and it works very nice! Like it!

Yes Interested in one instead of the two I originally asked for

Not sure what do You mean.. Are You interested in CPU/FPU part only? It will work, but it will NOT give any acceleretion without RAM part - it will work with default 7Mhz as a stock 68k..
A1000 relocators will be done this week.
A2000 relocators arrived today:

https://s17.postimg.cc/q3pm7bu9r/201...2_22.28.46.jpg

Hi DjCook,

very interesting project :)

do you by the way is the A2000 will work with a Vampire 2 V500+?

regards

Sent from my TA-1004 using Tapatalk

I am pretty sure this relocator will work with Vampire, even more, this relocator was designed to support as many accelerators as possible. That's why it has such headers like INT2, INT6, OVR, CDIS, BOSS...

Declaing Interest in TK030 with A2000 Relocator plus 64mb Ram when available. Keep me posted.

Please use appropriate thread for TF530 accelerators, this topic is for 68030 TK cards only.
Thank You
