I am offering following for swap:

ACT Elektronik Apollo 4060

Specification:

• MC68060RC60 rev. 6 (yes RC60!)
• 128 MB RAM (4x 32 MB 60 ns)
• accepts FastPage and EDO RAM
• supports the very rare ED-RAM (not EDO)
• memory disable jumper
• SCSI 2 controller (not Fast SCSI 2)
• allows autoboot and supports RDB
• 50 pin internal header
• SCSI disable jumper

History:
• this was the first Amiga 3/4000 card ever overclocked to 100 MHz and stable running for years (http://chain.3dgrafika.cz/100mhz/)
• with a special care card has been upgraded from version 3060 to 4060 (both angled SIMM slots removed and four vertical added => now it supports 128 MB in total)
• previous owner run the Apollo stable on 100 MHz with PicassoIV, in my Amiga it was not stable with 100 MHz and Mediator 4000Di MK2 board. So I run at 80 MHz stable with Mediator about one year => I dont have Picasso IV, but when removing Mediator, Apollo runs at 100 MHz without problem
• I will add 80 and 100 MHz oscillators, installation floppy disks, ROM chip (older version), printed manual, no orig. box


Elbox FastATA 4000 VI

Specification:
• Fast transfer rate of up to 16.6MB/s
• Supports PIO-0, PIO-3, PIO-4 and PIO-5 modes
• Compatible with ATA 33/66/100/133 devices
• Adds two buffered and terminated ports for 4 devices
• LBA 48 support in the onboard BootROM (support of drives over 128GB)
• Automatically configured devices
• Compatibility with OS4.1
• Boots from any attached HDD, ZIP or LS-120

History:
• card is working absolutely fine, real speed on my Amiga is 7,8 MB/s
• card is boxed with manual, floppy disk, CF-IDE and SATA-IDE


=> both items for one Cyberstorm MK3 (RAM is not needed)

Videos:
Apollo 4060@80 with Mediator
Apollo 4060@100 with AGA

Reason:
It was decision either sell beautifully equipped Mediator (Voodoo4, SB128, Spider, RTL8139) and try to buy classic HW for Apollo or exchange such rare Apollo. Well I am also missing 30 MB/s disk speed (FastATA gives "just" 7,8 MB/s) and for Cyberstorm's UWSCSI controller I have already prepared ACARD interface.

I wonder why in specifications they say it's up to +16mb/s, but in real life it gives just almost 8mb/s (in highly o/c card!) ?
 
I dont know try to ask Elbox ;o) Anyway the Zorro III bus has a theoretical bandwidth of 150 MByte/s but the real transfer speed is somewhere around 13.5 MByte/s due to the limitations of the Buster chip. Still FastATA is a nice piece of HW and the best alternative comparing to slow onboard IDE or loud/old SCSI disks. With FastATA you can use cheap and fast Compact Flash, PATA or SATA disks without any problem. Also FastATA's SCSI.device allows you to use drives over 128 GB.
