For Sale Dicke Olga - 030 CPU 64/128MB Accelerator card for A2000 Amiga (USED)

[suavek]

While waiting for Olga (I am 78 in line ) I wonder why wouldn't developer release gerbers and sell just programmed FPGA for those who wants to risk making one by themselves.

I practiced this type of business model back in a day and it paid off very well releasing me from hassle of building hardware spending time and verification instead I was just punching chips few dozens every evening and collected the cash.

You can get a PCB and you can program your own chips:

Declaring interest.

I like to have the advanced Olga with all available options

Well noted!

But, is it possible to get all the parts, bom etc. as a set for a do it yourself mission? I like to do the solderworks on my own

Not offered as a builder kit,
yet You can get a blank (or backside populated) PCB and build Yourself the Fattest Olga if You wish:

To get it You need:

2. create 6 posts (to be able to see marketplace)
3. Order PCB
4. Order parts and two programmers (Lattice & Xilinx)
5. Follow the "How to" guide

Nice but don't trust myself with that for a project

Declaring interest in the advanced version

Hi! Reiterating my interest. I keep worrying I missed a message. But I am more than happy to wait and pay whenever

 

[suavek]

With that pace I'm not expecting to receive the message in a year. I have not moved in a queue for weeks.

I'm not trying to brag it's just I'm encouraging developer to allow community members to do fabs and assembly in their own time and source. Developer would only need to sell and ship the custom chip.

Hello dear Amigans!
Here are some updates after being silent for a while...

1.
First of all - I've built another 10 cards - payment notifications are already sent to users next in line!

2.
Two PCB colors are available - black or green:



3.
I have also five full-size LAN/SATA/IDE cards available:

This card has:
CF card slot on the rear (may be used for DOS formatted cards)
SATA/M.2,
IDE 40 & IDE 44,
LAN NETWORK
FAST CLOCKPORT
Mounting holes for 2"5 SATA or IDE HDD

These cards may also be potentially interesting for users who owns an early Olga Board with only one IDE device supported or one without SATA/M.2 ports
It offers up to four additional devices. Looks and works great together with Fat Olga accelerator card

4.
here is the table of comparsion between standard and advanced versions:

However, this seems to be less important because.... As You may see - I am struggling to build Olga cards - waiting times are just ridiculous...
Have decided to drop Standard version builds from now on and do Advanced cards only,
Hopefully that will help You get ordered cards sooner..

Now some of You may say:
hey! I don't need that SATA/M.2 thingy, What should I do now?

5.
The answer is - build Your own! Yes! You red it right - Olga team decided to open all sources of the card - for private use, only!
not for commercial purposes!!!
so everyone with soldering skills can build his own Olga card. Here You go:

Sven Hamag / DickeOlga · GitLab

GitLab.com

gitlab.com

You will find all details about the card, but....
but please!
If something goes wrong,
your beloved Amiga gets into a paperweight, you set your house or the entire neighborhood on fire -it's your own problem, we will not be held liable for that!
Even worse, this project isn't for newbies, if You decide to build it - please don't count on any help here, I am inundated at work and family so most possibly will be unable to help.
Some Infos may be found on A1k forum, yet these are mostly in German...

6.
@hamag has done a special EATX version of the card recently:

It's shorter than the original, and should fit more easily into the EATX form factor case..
I am tempted to order some.. Is there any potential interest? What color is the best option?

7.
That's pretty it for today dear Amiga friends, let's see what tomorrow brings us...

PS
Thank You, guys, for Your unbelievable support!
We are the community, and we are moving Amiga forwards!
Thanks for that!
Best regards,

-Your 8 Bit Dreams-

Hier should placed a photo of the table with differences between Standard and Advanced revision.

Will upload it on a moment

Thank you. Notification received and payment sent.

Sorry to ask , maybe its answered somewhere but what ist the difference between the standard model and the adv modell? I do see no difference


Standard model: 250€ for a ready built card equipped with plastic CPU (wit MMU)
(NO FPU), running @50MHZ and 128MB of FastRAM
Or 230€ for the card without CPU/FPU

Advanced model: 275€ for a ready built card equipped with plastic CPU (wit MMU)
(NO FPU), running @50MHZ and 128MB of FastRAM
Or 250€ for the card without CPU/FPU

The difference is the SATA and on the back you can fit a M2.SATA SSD

that's right, like @jockel71 said - its about SATA and M.2
see the comparsion table here:


But this doesn't really play any role now, have dropped Standard cards as already mentioned above.

 

[RetroPanic]

Thanks I am 33. hopefully in Red or Black

 

[Ozzyboshi]

hello i am 26 in list, is it possible to have a dicke olga with lan support, i initially declared interest for advanced model but for what i understand now it's possible to have also a version with lan built in.... if this is the case i would like to have lan support

 

[Amiga_Walker]

Hello,

I have here already declared interest for 030 card and not possible declare second interest for 1x full-size LAN/SATA/IDE

 

[8 Bit Dreams]

No no no! LAN/IDE is a separate card in matching color green

 

[Ozzyboshi]

ah ok, in this case i will stick with my advanced model, thanks for clarification
