Declaring interest in a v425 ide+ 8MB (low profile for A500) with CPU for 85.00 + UK P&P, when they next become available (assuming that this will work OK with the A500+).

Out of interest, will this work with the following IDE-CF interface from AmigaKit? It would be preferable as it's on a flying lead, and would leave more room for the RF shield.

Or, this one from Sordan?

I am interested in soldered combination v425 ide+ 8MB (low profile for a500, cdtv, others) cpu plugged and special ide-cf adapter for v4xx.
 
I've finally found time to open my A1000 and install my combined IDE/Ram board this weekend. Unfortunately my machine does not boot at all (black screen) with the board installed. After trying a few times I was curious if the included MC68HC000 could be the culprit so I tried just the MC68HC000 without the IDE/Ram board and it didn't work either (black screen again). After that I've tried my original cpu with the IDE/Ram board, but unfortunately that didn't change anything. When I revert back to just my original cpu without the board installed the machine runs fine so it seems the board and MC68HC000 are dead. I'm a bit puzzled how that happened since I always wear an ESD wristband when working on hardware.
 
has mika left the amiga scene? links no longer work for his sites and his email returns as 'does not exist.'

wanted to purchase some more mem68k boards. thanks everyone.

I have only some blank pcb's for ide to sell.
No ram boards. I've run out of the 5 volt 4M x 16 drams. It may be possible to find more - but chinese sellers might deliver fakes (such as 3.3volt chips with 5v chip fake markings)

I have a number of 8M x 16 SDRAM chips, but the circuit board and cpld code would need to be redesigned.

When I have the time, I plan to make archive packages of the ram and ide documents for download.

Hi mkl! I hope you're well

I see there was an older revision that used 3v DRAMs, what was the reason for switching back to 5V RAMs again?

Have thought about this too, guess this will requite adding a clock multiplier too - or am I missing something?

A crystall oscillator could be used for sdram controller.
I prefered 5V chips for manual assembly of boards (lower part count, no voltage translators/buffers).

I hope I will be able to help with this.
