Sold CDTV-SCSI Do-It-Yourself Sets

[MatthiasH]

Hi!

I rebuild the CDTV-SCSI-Adapter as shown here.

Price is 13€ + shipping (registered letter approx. 7€ to many countires including EU and USA) .

The project contains: PCB, parts and an AM33C93A-P16 SCSI-Chip.

I have only a very few complete sets left, but some PCBs extra (6,50€).

The project requires medium solder skills (only Though Hole Technology no SMD).

The adapter works "out of the box" when plugged in in the CDTV and A570.
A 2.30-CDTV-ROM and Kick 3.1 is strongly recomended, but Kick 1.3 and ROM 1.0 works, too. The unpatched commodore driver has a 1GB limit!

Of course, in the A570 the PCB sticks out at the end. Picture here!

It contains one internal 50-Pin Pinheader, onboard Terminator, an option to connect an activityLED (not included) and an option for a disable switch (not included).

Why no external connector? To do so you need to build a cover for the Expansionslot. Many people just want to add an internal harddrive.

You can allways connect an external adapter at the end of your internal SCSI-Cable and build your own sollution.

This is a community project! No profit (ok, 2€ to cover prototyping-costs ) , just material-costs as almost anything on a1k.org !

Best regards

Matthias

This is a wondeful thing indeed!

I would love to have two of them, if anyone in the UK wants one built for them just let me know and I will do it for you.


(now off to ask the wife for some pocket money )

Interested in 1 for my A570 please.

 

[algasystems]

Thanks Matthias, it's a great news indeed!
I'd like to have one of those, too - just a question: it supports boot throught the connected SCSI device?

Kind regards,
Gabriele

Also interested in 1 complete kit.

I just revised one of my "stock boxes". I have only 3 SCSI-Controller IC left, but 12 PCBs and some parts. First come - first serve!

This evening I have access to check my 2nd stock-box, if I have more controllers. The SCSI-controller is the same as the one on any A2091/A590.

So if I run out of these ICs, the price for the incomplete set (PCB+parts) drops to 11€ and you have to organize the SCSI-Chip by yourself (here or in the other bay). Now you know the price, if you buy 100pcs AM33C93A-PC16 .

Best regards

Matthias

Yes, the CDTV autoboots from the SCSI-HDD. The CDTV-SCSI shows up as an A590 in the autoconfig!

THANKS again!

 

[Astral]

Definetely 100% interested in 2 complete kits (or as close to as possible) if available :woot:

And 1 spare PCB also...

*EDIT* PM sent...

 

[Zetr0]

I would like two PCB's and two GAL chips (I have the rest compoents)

I am happy to build z3spacials and anyone elses =)

There is no GAL! Its just a bus-transceiver to implement the disable-switch. Any GAL is completely unneccessary and only used to make the board look "complicated" and add a "copy protection".The Reference-Implentation provided by Commodore contains no fancy sh**t like GAls

So do you just want the PCBs?
